Introduction
I am an amateur landscape photographer based in Worthing West Sussex. My photographs reflect my proximity to both the sea and the South Downs. The sea is literally a ten minute walk from my door and the Downs a ten minute drive in the car. As you will see from my portfolio I like experimenting neutral density filters to create long exposures - particularly effective I think when it comes to photographing the sea. I also enjoy the odd morning when I get up before sunrise and am lucky enough to capture mist lying in the Sussex Weald. The view from the Downs, looking down on the Weald can be quite beautiful.
I am experimenting with focal lengths at the moment and restricting myself to one focal length each time I go out. Not only does this free you up from carrying around huge amounts of camera gear but I think the restriction actually helps you be creative. Although you may lose some opportunities by not having your widest lens or your longest telephoto you do end up getting "into the zone" of a particular focal length.
