‘I’m Giles and live on the Sussex coast in the UK. I’m a landscape photographer with a particular passion for shooting astro-landscapes. This image was taken at Petworth Deer Park in West Sussex, on a very cold December’s morning last year. I wasn’t expecting to visit the park and hadn’t brought my main DSLR camera with me. They say the best camera you have is the one you have with you, so I took this winter wonderland scene with my iPhone 12 Pro Max. This image is part of a set I took on that wonderful frosty morning.’
