Some of you may know that I am joint owner of a photography training business, f11 Workshops. Yesterday we ran one of our most popular tours, Piers and Wreck, on the West Sussex coast. We have been so lucky with the light on every iteration of this tour so far and yesterday was no exception. Of course, landscape photographers keep going no matter what the weather, but it is nice when things get this good.
My business partner, Tony Antoniou, and I are clear that we will not make our own images when out with clients; we just grab a few publicity snaps at the last location. We both know that photography is such an absorbing occupation that we would not be giving our customers our full attention if we were making our own images. Sometimes, when the light is this good, that’s a hard promise to keep! In the end though, having happy customers is the better reward.

My 365/52 is from 2010, a close up of one of the butterflies in the glasshouse at RHS Wisley.

365/53 is from last year. Just a snap really, on what appears to be a date when I take few photos: Walton viewed from the bridge to Desborough Island.

Focused Moments 
Outstanding photos!
Thank you, Dina!
Lovely light on that first shot. Co-incidentally my latest blog post was about the importance of light in photography.
Thank you very much. Just off to look now.
Fabulous capture Rachael, looks like you had fantastic weather that day, I love the reflections in the water.
Thank you, Karen. We seem to get lucky with the weather on this workshop every time. (Hope I didn’t just jinx it!)
You already know how I fancy your macro shots. Such a beautiful face. Yes, I must agree that the lighting on the beach is something indeed. Love the reflection!
Thank you, Shannon. It’s a very special place to me (many happy memories from childhood) so I am loving the chance to delight others with it now.
Oh, to be in one of those classes…
