'For his panoramic images he uses a Linhof Technorama 617s III,' his website says. 'This camera is unique in that the negatives are a huge 6 x 17 centimeters, with only four exposures per film. 'He also used a 50 megapixel digital Hasselblad and a top of the range 1DS Canon digital camera.' When asked for advice during a 2012 interview with Landscape Photography Magazine, Chapple said to 'Invest in a good alarm clock, a comfortable pair of boots and a sturdy tripod and you can't go wrong.' Chapple told the magazine at the time 'My dream is to one day be able to make a living with my landscape photography. Right now it's something that I love doing, and squeeze into my hectic life when I can. 'I can't imagine a greater life, being able to shoot landscapes AND make my monthly mortgage payment. There's nothing greater professionally than being paid to do what you love.' Blur: Chapple took this image in Queensland, Australia. He has worked as both a news and showbusiness photographer .

Washed ashore: A colorful boat is seen at Crow Point in North Devon, England . He also told the publication he's been able to use his errors and move forward, saying 'I am self taught. Funnily enough, I failed art in school. 'I completed an apprenticeship when I finished school, but I was really only shown what I'd done wrong, as opposed to what I'd done right, so I found that I learned mostly from my mistakes. In years following, it was really trial and error and learning the hard way.' Chapple revealed during the 2012 interview a motivation to preserve the way the world looks for his family. He told Landscape Photography Magazine 'The biggest moment of clarity as a photographer came with the birth of my first son, Radley Danger Chapple (yes, Danger really is his middle name). 'After a conversation with my father-in-law about how visibility in the mountains has decreased so much in his lifetime because of air pollution, I suddenly felt a real urgency to capture images that my children can share with their grandchildren. 'We live in a changing world, and photography is the only way of documenting exactly what I see for future generations.' For more of Chappel's work, visit his website or his Facebook page.
