A day in Cardiff!

Cardiff is the capital city of Wales. Here are some suggestions to take photos of this city. Cardiff Castle 📍Location: Castle Street, city centre 🕘 Recommended Time: 9:30am–11:30am 💡 Photography Tips: Inside the castle walls: Dramatic towers, intricate interiors, and Roman ruins. Clock Tower: Best shot from the outside in golden light. Keep and moat: Get wide shots from the green for symmetry and depth. Interior murals and Gothic revival décor are great for close-ups. 2. Bute Park (next to the castle) 📷 Great for: Nature photography, riverside shots, and long lens cityscape images. Try leading lines with the Taff Trail paths and framed shots through tree-lined avenues. ☕ Coffee Break Suggestion: Coffee Barker (near Castle Arcade): Vintage aesthetic inside for café shots or flat-lay compositions. 🕛 Midday: Walk to Cardiff Bay 3. Walk (or take a boat) from the city centre to Cardiff Bay 🚶 Walking: ~30 mins along the Taff Trail, offering scenic river views and street photography opportunities. ⛵ Or take the boat from Bute Park Jetty to the Bay for water-based photography. 📸 Afternoon: Cardiff Bay + Norwegian Church 4. Cardiff Bay 📷 Focus: Wales Millennium Centre: Capture the famous copper facade with the inscription — try HDR for texture. Senedd (Welsh Parliament): Modern architecture, perfect for reflections and symmetry. Pierhead Building: Victorian Gothic style contrasts well with modern surroundings. Water features and docks for long exposure shots (bring a tripod). 5. Norwegian Church Arts Centre 📍 A white timber building with a red roof — visually striking. 📷 Best at golden hour or slightly overcast days to avoid glare. Frame with the bay in the background or use foreground flowers/plants for depth.
