Go with the flow

One reader, one pro... a keen outdoor photographer chases waterfalls in the company of Jeremy Flint

- 

Welcome to Digital Camera Apprentice, where we pair a reader with a professional photographer for a day of shooting together. The concept is simple: the pro acts as a photographic mentor, sharing their expert insights to help the reader improve their favoured genre of photography - it's like having a one-to-one workshop, but a wider audience gets to see what happens. This month, we're in Wales, at Waterfall Country in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park, where Canon pro Jeremy Flint will be mentoring a keen reader looking to improve their photography of moving water. Liam Matthews has travelled up from Swansea to join us today and, as a fellow Canon shooter, speaks the same camera language as Jeremy. And we can thank our pro for bringing us here — the Four Falls Trail is one of Jeremy's favourite locations in the UK for waterfall photography and allows visitors to enjoy the breathtaking sights and soothing sounds of cascading water.

Having said that, though, anyone tackling the Four Falls Trail needs to be in pretty good physical shape: it's a five-mile round trip and, as well as long walks, it involves some deep descents and formidable climbs back up. And visiting during peak school holiday season in August, we'll have something else to contend with — lots of other people will be making the trip here, so there's a high risk of Jeremy and Liam's captures being 'photobombed'.
