Slawek’s South Downs workshop was an excellent day out. We concentrated on the use of a telephoto lens to capture detailed views illuminated by sun as the cloud cover changed capturing moving shadows and highlights. I’ve often used a telephoto zoom lens for landscape photography, but not to capture these fleeting and almost sculptural perspectives and the highlights and shadows transitioned across the Downs. Slawek provided excellent guidance as the day progressed and communicated a deep knowledge of the South Downs and the application of telephoto photography to its rounded contours.
