I love all aspects of photography. But my true passion is Black & White the tones, textures is what holds my attention. Of late my work is moving more into the surreal creative genre, but I still love the early morning sunrise, there's something magical about the dawn of a day.
I am captivated by your portfolio. Such a wide variety of subjects but I love the black and white portraits best. You bring out the character of the sitter. Some of the images are stunning and what an asset to have such a great model in the gentleman with the whiskers.
I share your appreciation of Ansel Adams's zonal system. He was the inspiration behind me going down the black and white path.
I look forward to seeing more excellent portraits.

What a wonderful PF you have, a good mix of subjects all mastered perfectly. I love your still life images especially "The seven ages of man", I will look forward to the next masterpiece.

Thx for your useful comments on my photo "Calton Hill".
Your portfolio is impresive. I wish some day be able to make some photos like these.
All the best

I enjoyed browsing through your portfolio Nick, very creative work throughout. I especially love your candid portraits, and processing. :)
Thanks vey much indeed for the User Award left on my image "the waiting game". I value and appreciate your judgement.

You have a wonderful collection of images here, Nick! I love the way your compositions and interpretations capture the essence of the places you photograph...
I'd hoped to get down to the Cromford Exhibition, but I'm away that week, sadly. I've bookmarked your Photium website, though... Great stuff!

A fantastic collection of shots Nick.
I'm really impressed with the depth to them and the way you have captured both the light and tonality of your subjects.
Keep up the good work Sir.

Just thought I'd catch up with the comments. Thank you everyone most appreciated. Thanks for the PF critique Alan. The examples you state are well known to me, both Nigel & Patrick are in my favourites, and the Moon and Half Dome image from Ansel Adams is still probably my favourite mono landscape image of all time, a photographer we all owe a big favour to as his zone system is the basis of modern metering.
As for the digital manipulations, well I'm still learning ;)
Oh and I'd love a 500/600mm lens one day....

1. What do you like of their PF (if you do)?
I like the high standard of work and understanding of the photographic process Nick shows. Also the warm toned land and seascapes are beautifully composed and processed.
2. What do you think is lacking in their PF?
Composit and digital art work. I have to say though, there is plenty of variety in his portfolio and Nick's website shows this to be the case, so maybe digital manipulation is the wrong direction for him to try.
3. How do you think they can improve their PF?
I think Nick will improve naturally with time and I think he's on the right track with what he produces.
A longer lens, say a 500mm or a 600mm, would give him greater scope for wildlife shooting.
4. What do you like to see in their PF?
I like Nick's land and seascapes the most as they connect with me more than the rest of his work, although I like the seal shots and the night shots too.
5. Whose work would you recommend them to have a look at (if you know any)?
Nigel Pye's wildlife work is superb ( the wader shots are excellent ) and Patrick Smith's land and seascapes are intelligent and very high quality imo. Particularly this one. And this one.
I think a look at Ansel Adams' mono lanscapes wouldn't do any harm either.

An excellent PF to look through. Every photo's very well composed and the quality of each shot and the processing is right up there. Superb body of work.

Hi Nick,
It seems to me that the amount of votes that an image gets on EPZ is a really good barometer and you would'nt need to plot a graph to work out the direction your images have been going...:-)
A cracking PF Nick and I hope that I go in a similar direction this year...:-)
Cheers
Matt
