Many of us landscape photographers spend many hours and weeks away from family and friends chasing after spectacular scenes in dramatic far flung locations in the wee small hours, trying to put our stamp on a well known scene.
Sometimes, however, lovely scenes are just waiting for us on our own doorstep and I am lucky enough to live in the quietly lovely Surrey Hills. This main shot here is not usually the type of shot I go for. Usually, I will go to great lengths to minimise signs of human existence on the planet, preferring instead to capture the beauty of nature generally focusing on emotion rather than a record of a particular location.
