About the Author
Simon Kitchin is an award-winning landscape photographer based in North Wales. Whilst he has always had a camera close to hand it was his relocation to North Wales in 1997 that saw him begin to take photography seriously. This allowed him to spend much of his time wandering amongst the stunning mountains of Snowdonia and along the coastline of Anglesey.His photographs have been published in numerous magazines, books and calendars with some success in photography competitions. His landscape photography is on permanent exhibition in several locations around North Wales and he guides fellow photographers around the area on his landscape photography workshops.He uses a Nikon D800 full frame DSLR, together with a range of Nikon lenses and Lee filters.
