Holly Walsh Weekly Post #1 Part 2

Tony Armstrong

Tony Armstrong is a landscape and wildlife photographer from England. As a recently retired businessman he now devotes his time to his photography. His work captures th serenity England’s most beautiful landscapes.

            Much of Armstrong’s work encompasses the movement of time; whether it is through a setting sun or fog rolling in over hills. I enjoy his pictures in which he uses a longer shutter speed to capture the movement of fog or water. This movement brings life to his art. He does more than snaps a picture of a landscape, but captures the essence of the moment he is there.

            Being a fan of landscape and nature photography I hope to spend more time being outdoors with my camera. I like that Armstrong does not travel far for photo shoots, but finds beauty in the places he lives and knows. Many people think you have to travel to exotic places to create great landscape photography, but it is the photographer that makes the picture. I hope to include the beautiful scenery of where I am from in my work this semester.
