Osmington Mills.

These two images have been quite popular on my Flickr site that you can visit here http://www.flickr.com/photos/penpystill/ . Thought I would put them up here and I'll probably follow up with some Kimmeridge Bay shots shortly.

Dorset Coast Trip.

I've recently returned from a trip to the wonderful Dorset coast. I wanted to revisit a couple of places that I had not been to for years, whilst the sun was still rising and setting out to sea. One of those places was Osmington Mills, a stunning little beach just east of Weymouth. I'm very glad I found the time to go as on the two mornings I visited I had the place to myself. I will add a few more images over the next week or so.

Sussex Wildlife Trust

These two images have recently been featured on the Sussex Wildlife Trust Twitter feed which is quite a compliment. One taken last month and the other a couple of years ago but both winter Sussex landscapes. As I want to concentrate my efforts nearer to home this year it seems a step in the right direction and raises the profile of my landscape work which you can keep up to date with on my Flickr site here http://www.flickr.com/photos/penpystill/

Local Haunts.

2011, for me, will be a year of exploring my "local patch" more. Although I am planning a long overdue trip to the Dorset coast in January I think that I should do more closer to home. Not only for financial reasons, although the ever spiralling cost of petrol is a factor, but beacause I have dabbled in Sussex landscapes for 20 years. I have lived here all my life but it is only in the last few years that I have started to appreciate the beauty of my home county. I have picked these images, of Climping Beach and Burton Mill Pond, because to me they epitomise the Sussex landscape of my patch.

Lavington Common.

I've decided that I want to post more to my blog. I intend to do more landscape work next year and try to get back to my roots as a photographer. It's to easy to get involved in the day to day nitty gritty of print orders and admin, so I need to find time for more of the stuff I used to do. A kind of early New Year's resolution if you like. I took this back in the summer and it's becoming a personal favourite as well as being very in-keeping with my pledge to do more local landscape work. Also happens to be one of my favourite places in Sussex.

Continuing to be rubbish at the blogging thing I really must decide whether to carry it on or not. The trouble is I can't really find the time to keep it updated. Life is always hectic. Anyway here are a few favourites from the 1100 images I have passed onto Michelle and Jed from their wedding at Goodwood Hotel.
