About Under Welsh Skies
Astrophotography and landscape field guides across Wales
What is UnderWelshSkies?
UnderWelshSkies is a growing collection of field guides designed to help photographers discover and plan dark sky locations across Wales.
Each location is carefully researched and presented with practical, real-world detail — from access and parking to astro conditions and composition ideas — so you can spend less time searching and more time shooting.
Why I Built This
I wanted a simple, reliable way to plan photography trips — especially for astrophotography — without having to piece together information from multiple sources.
UnderWelshSkies is built to solve that problem: a single place to find locations, understand conditions, and plan shoots with confidence.
How to Use This Site
Start by exploring locations or browsing by region.
Each guide includes:
- key information at a glance
- detailed astro and photography notes
- access and parking guidance
- example compositions
Whether you’re planning a quick evening shoot or a full trip, the aim is to make decisions easier and faster.
About Me
I’m a photographer based in the UK, exploring Wales in search of dark skies, strong compositions, and quiet places.
This project combines my interest in photography, astrophotography, and building practical tools that people can actually use in the field — whether that’s for a quick evening shoot or a multi-day trip.
What's Next
This is just the beginning.
The goal is to build a comprehensive set of location guides covering Wales, alongside planning tools, maps, and downloadable field guides to help photographers make the most of every trip.
