Foreground groyne and main subject of Selsey lifeboat station taken at dusk in winter

Piers around Sussex

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 03/03/2013 · Add Comment
Seascapes and long exposures I’ve spent a few sunrises and sunsets over the past couple of months visiting piers around East and West Sussex. Piers make for great subjects especially during winter months when the landscape can be fairly bleak and skies are often overcast. The sea is always alive in some way and these [...]

Another shot of golden sunset in Brighton with starling murmuration

Starlings Brighton Pier in winter

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 20/02/2013 · Add Comment
A natural wonder on the South Coast Winter in the UK has some real highlights and I managed to get down to Brighton Pier on the South coast twice in 2013 to try and capture the incredible natural phenomenon of starlings flocking at sunset before coming in to roost. I’ve seen these starlings at dusk [...]

Landscape Photography in the Scottish Highlands

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 17/01/2013 · Add Comment
Photos from around Glen Etive and Glencoe It’s no wonder that my Scandinavian ancestors took such a shine to Scotland all those years ago. Admittedly their initial welcome may not have been quite as congenial as mine was well over 1000 years later, however I’m sure that after the initial shock of integration had taken [...]

Autumn Photographs in Sussex

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 27/11/2012 · Add Comment
Autumn is definitely in my top four seasons even though it inevitably brings a degree of confusion with it. It’s a season of unquestionable spledour and celebration yet it often infuses me with a deep sense of wistfulness. I remember being at school and deciding to bunk off one day with a friend, we must [...]

Lost in Italy

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 07/10/2012 · Add Comment
Photographs from somewhere on the borders of Northern Tuscany and Liguria. Lucca Italy photos. Most of these photographs are taken using the Nikon D800 with Nikon 1.4G 50mm lens. The rest are taken using Carl Zeiss 21mm ZF2 lens. He was one of the few foreigners who had visited this part of Italy. The locals [...]

Rock pools at Birling Gap

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 05/09/2012 · Add Comment
I arrived at Birling Gap in the early evening having travelled eastward hoping to outrun grey clouds which were rolling in from the west after a sunny September day. With Autumn night falls earlier of course and the drive was a competition with the commuting elite. They won, but I arrived at my destination a [...]

Ardingly reservoir photos

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 29/08/2012 · Add Comment
Back from the brink Ardingly reservoir has been in the news a fair bit this year as it was almost entirely depleted by the spring. Several areas in the South East were issued with hose pipe bans by April and a drought order was just around the driest corner when in the nick of time [...]

Night photography in Shoreham by Sea

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 27/08/2012 · Add Comment
Boat wreck at the old tollbridge by the river Adur It’s easy to forget just how much beauty there is around us. It’s something I am working on especially when I wonder where I should be out photographing if conditions don’t appear to be ideal. Last night was just such a night with the bank [...]

Using strobe outdoors for portrait in countryside

Look look, a human

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 27/08/2012 · Add Comment
Outdoor portrait with strobes It has dawned on me that most of my photographs have very little if any signs of human life. This doesn’t bode well as I do really enjoy photographing people and have a need to be more sociable. Part of the trouble is I tend to avoid places with many humans, [...]

Meandering lake at Cuckmere Haven

Oxbow lake at Cuckmere Haven

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 14/08/2012 · Add Comment
“A loop formed by a horseshoe bend in a river!” If geographical features were animals, I reckon that an oxbow lake would be a sloth. One of the first school trips I went on was to Crowlink in Sussex near Cuckmere Haven. Aside from the excitement of being away from home aged 11 and the [...]

Devils Dyke near Brighton

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 13/08/2012 · Add Comment
Foggy sunset photos from Devil’s Dyke Britain is steeped in ancient history boasting real archaeological delights existing harmoniously with mythical tales in an ancient landscape. Devil’s Dyke just outside Brighton is a living example of these existing together perfectly. Without the geological mass that is apparently the UKs’ largest chasm coupled with the incredible views [...]

Photos of Poppies in Sussex

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 30/07/2012 · Add Comment
I had a great ramble around Sussex at the weekend. It was one of those perfect summer days, perfect because the weather was pretty wild and dramatic with hail and rainstorms, yet still managing to be quite mild. Nice. I’ve seen a field full of poppies for a couple of weeks on my drive to [...]

Beachy Head Bugs

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 11/07/2012 · Add Comment
A couple of evenings ago the sky was looming down threatening to bring some evening rain through the windows into my lounge and on top of my head. Perfect I thought and grabbed my gear heading off to Beachy Head near Eastbourne, which I have wanted to photograph for some time but never got round [...]

Royal Tunbridge Wells in a 1940’s Style or, The Quintessential Coster

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 23/06/2012 · Add Comment
Today is Saturday which meant a jolly up to Royal Tunbridge Wells for a handover. Scratch that, it’s Olympic season soon here in Britain so lets say – a round for the purposes of passing the baton. My brother and the majority of his lovely family were passing the baton of the ‘mothership’ to me. [...]

Self indulgent and none too easy to impart. Thank you Mr Burns for clarifying things. A couple a days afore the solstice and I spent an evening in thought and solace. Oh where will my heart take me next, mulling these thoughts I wondered and vexed and the eve she carried me ‘twixt the light [...]

Night photography with lights at Shoreham

Sodium Sunset

By Nick @ ND Gallery On 18/06/2012 · Add Comment
Sodium sunset in Shoreham by Sea  I recently spent a rubber wellied evening down by the sea near Shoreham harbour where I was hoping to catch the fast changing moody skies with a burst of sunset. The light was amazing, shifting by the minute as the clouds rushed along leaving subtle muted colours strewn across [...]
