UK & International Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Private Tuition Days
This image was captured this morning from Friar's Crag at Derwentwater while leading a 1-2-1 tuition day with David. It was just amazing to see the mist rolling along the surface of the water as the sun rose and illuminated the trees of Lord's Island just beautifully.
Autumn is definitely coming as the morning was a crisp 5°c. I cannot wait for the colours to change.

Landscape Photography Workshops & 1-2-1 Tuition
Taken on a three-day workshop that I ran last week in Dorset.
Arriving on the beach at Durdle Door in the middle of the afternoon during harsh light and pure blue skies have you stand and look around at what you can capture that might be even remotely interesting and unusual.
Then I spotted this lovely small cave-like indentation in the white chalky cliffs known as Bat's Head. What were the challenges in shooting from this viewpoint I hear you ask? lol.
Well, for starters, there's not much room in there and setting up a tripod is almost impossible. You certainly need a small travel tripod to even have a chance of setting it up. I had a huge tripod with me so I decided to shoot this scene handheld and furthermore I only needed to capture the scene once despite harsh contrast and a crazy depth of field issue. Saying that my Canon EOS R coped impeccably with the stabilisation of the image, the great depth of field leaving everything sharp to look at, from the rim of the cave to Durdle Door itself as well as the dynamic range coping with the varying degree of light.
The more I use the Canon EOS R, the more impressed I am with it.

White Christmas at St Thomas Church, nr Å kofja Loka, Slovenia

Yesterday morning, I rose out of bed at 5am and drove an hour to reach the top of an elevated, partially icy hillside road that overlooks the gorgeous St Thomas Church in the background. I have been here on three occasions before and I always look forward to visiting. Here's a link to watch one of my timelapses from a previous visit (it's an amazing timelapse by the way ;-) flickr.com/photos/melvin_nicholson/50404117152/in
I arrived 20 minutes before sunrise but in truth, there was no sun to rise, only low lying cloud that was rolling by. Still, it was worth setting up both cameras, my Canon R5 for stills and my Canon EOS R which was used to film me talking about how I go about creating the images I was about to shoot.
I was there over two hours, watching the low cloud roll through the scenery in front of me and it was glorious. There was a gorgeous blue hue offering up as a backdrop to the white church and snow and a seriously fierce hoar frost overnight had all the trees turn white. I was in landscape photography heaven I can tell you.
So here is one of the images that I captured and I will show many more from my day out with my camera yesterday in my upcoming YouTube video. This will be my first video on location since Lofoten Feb 2019. I hope it is going to be worth the wait ;-)
Enjoy and thank you for your support as always.

I looked at the weather forecast last night on my 'Clear Outside' weather app and the promise of mist until around 9am was predicted. I thought long and hard about where exactly I wanted to be and yet despite having shot Lake Bled on around five occasions recently, I really could not resist returning, not least because it's only a five minute drive for me.
However this morning I opted not to return to my usual vantage point, the wooden boardwalk, but to try and capture a selection of images that as others put it 'classic Nicholson'. So on arriving at the car park next to the campsite (3 EUR an hour, ouch), I wandered down to the wooden jetty opposite and set up the camera. There are a couple of beautiful, simple, wooden Pletna boats by the lakeside and so I started with them but noticed a couple of minutes later the rocks and wooden posts that line the edge of the walkway.
So I turned my attention to them while continuing to feature the iconic church island in the centre of the frame in the background. The mist was very prevalent which provided me with seemingly endless compositional possibilities. It is fair to say that I was in my element and I am never happier than when capturing images that are intrinsically mine in style.
The colour in the sky was subtle this morning but the church was visible for most of the time that I was there but I have a couple of images where it disappeared altogether. Once I had finished with this particular area, I drove up the road to another car park which allowed me a brisk ten minute walk down to the water's edge to photograph the island 'head on' as it was. The composition has the entrance to the island visible, along with the countless number of steps that take you up to the church but I shall share that another day.
To finish my morning's shoot, I took the steps to the Cafe Belvedere, which enjoys an elevated position over the lake and it gave me a lot of enjoyment watching life continuing below me. Pletna boats being powered by an electric motor around the lake, fishermen trying to land the odd fish or two in their small boats, and kayakers taking an early morning cruise around the island while ducks quacked, birds sang and life, in general, felt great. Oh, what a time to be out enjoying nature.
I hope that you enjoy the image. Feel FREE TO SHARE it if you wish

STUDENTS DayX3 NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
Protest and march against University tuition fee increases, 09th Dec. 2010
Over 20,000 students from around the country converged on Central London today to march for a third time to protest against the coalition government's plans to massively increase University tuition fees, which will ultimately mean that far fewer students from poorer backgrounds will be able to even consider a University education because of the massive debts incurred which will follow them for the rest of their working lives.
I joined the days proceedings in the afternoon as they were assembling in Trafalgar Square. To throw the police off-guard they suddenly took off, en mass, through Admiralty Arch in a bid to get to Parliament Square, which had been forbidden. That evening the House of Commons was voting on the Education Funding Bill, and the students were determined to make sure that Parliament heard their protests.
The day started in a good mood, but by the time they reached Parliament pockets of disorder had started breaking out - Flares were lit and thrown, crush barriers and construction site fencing ripped up to be used as weapons against the massed ranks of riot police and later on the mounted police. I had to leave by around 3pm, and by the time I got home and turned on the BBC news all hell had broken loose outside Parliament. Protesters were pelting the police with lumps of masonry, metal poles and scaffolding. They lit large fires, broke down the doors to The Treasury and the new Ministry of Justice buildings, smashing many windows, daubing graffiti everywhere and generally smashing up the joint. Many people were arrested and many people hurt, some badly.
As the police gradually started releasing the by-now contained protesters in small numbers, several small groups headed up to Oxford Street, where they smashed the windows of the flagship TopShop store (owned by Sir Phillip Green who is being attacked for shovelling billions of pounds of what should be UK taxable income into tax haven accounts owned by his wife as part of a legal tax dodge), and in Regent Street they engulfed the Bentley containing Prince Charles and his horse-faced wife Camilla who were in the process of swanning orf the the Royal Variety Performance! The protesters started kicking the vehicle. They broke the windows and threw a tin of white paint over the car. One was not amused!
Needless to say the Bill was passed in Parliament tonight, and the students have vowed to continue their campaign of demonstration and civil disobedience...

WOW, what a day to choose to run a one day workshop in the glorious Yorkshire Dales yesterday. I got to enjoy some stunning weather with three clients of mine and the buttercups, stone barns and the rolling green dales of Yorkshire never looked so good.
The scene in this photo awaits you on walking through a few houses in the very centre of the village of Muker. Go through the gate and stand and admire such beauty. The buttercups are out at this time of the year but not for long. The sight of a million yellow flowers helps bring the scene alive and I am so thankful that we all got to appreciate the fine views before today's rain.
I hope you all like it and feel free to SHARE if you wish :D

I was going to upload another image from Northumberland but I realised that I'd never uploaded this to Flickr despite it being my screensaver on my PC, so why not share right?
This morning was one which was just magical, I was staying right next to Lake Windermere and was taking a 1-2-1 with another Photographer, the weather the day before had been absolutely foul and we had to resort to shooting caves and other places with some form of shelter so this morning was agreed to be a slightly later start.
I recall looking out of the window early morning here and seeing this scene unfolding so I decided to go out shooting alone on the lake before Breakfast and it turned out to be an absolutely incredidible hour or so shooting boats on the Lake in thick fog and at the same time flying the drone above the inversion which allowed me to capture Loughrigg Fell emrging from the sea of fog with sunrise light , a truly memorable morning!
Shortly after this my drone decided it was freezing and wanted to land itself someone nowhere near to me (thankfully I avoided the water) and an hour of searching was needed to get it back or these images would have been lost.
The day from here went well but again ended in a right kerfuffle as I suffered a ripped tyre going up up Wrynose Pass which ended up in me limping the car to a pub and calling for rescue, which took hours and several hundred pounds.
These things are sent to try us! but, there were no injuries and I still have the images which is the main thing!
Should you wish to come on a similar Photographic Lakes Adventure contact me below, lost drones and ripped tyres are not regular features :-)

Well 2015 has been a rather interesting year, both on and off the pitch! As far as the photography goes, it could probably be best described as 'half decent'.
Positives include starting to run my own workshops and private tuition as well as setting up a new website which fits much more with where I want to be going. Getting an image commended in this years Landscape Photographer of the Year book was a highlight followed by a trip to London at the awards night. I also managed to spend practically nothing on new equipment (which I consider a triumph) but most importantly I genuinely feel I have pushed my approach to the craft of photography forward and have been experimenting with a few new ideas.
This image being a case in point, a picture of some weed in a local pond taken in infrared. It's not instantly a 'fave', is it? In fact, it looks a bit scruffy and I can't even really see what it is?! No matter, it looks amazing at three feet wide and it's actually great fun creating images on an overcast day on the Mendips when we haven't seen the sun for about a month.
It also looks far better not crushed to death on Flickr, but I don't make images for social media so it really doesn't bother me. In fact I'm so bored with the endless flow of small, low quality social media posts that I am currently researching locations to hold an exhibition and get my work displayed in the way it should be: big, bold and in a place where time can be spent to enjoy them, not clicking on a button and rushing off to the next experience.
So have a great New Year folks, every day is a blessing :)
Tuition centre (Malay: Pusat Tuisyen) is a special term for private educational institutions; they are especially abundant and ubiquitous in Malaysia, India, The Middle East and Singapore. In Indonesia, they are known as Bimbingan Belajar or bimbel in short. Many school teachers earn their supplementary income through tuition centres and agencies. Some teachers 'advertise' their tuition classes and coach those who attend their classes on how to tackle examination questions. Their focus is primarily rote learning. Some teachers earn up to RM10,000 or S$8,000 by giving private tuition.

West Midlands Travel 8639 (formerly 6639) had been one of several Fleetline buses selected to be part of the West Midlands Travel 'Transkill' fleet of driver training vehicles based at Perry Barr bus garage. Wearing 'Transkill' livery, the bus is seen on tuition duties heading along the A34 from Walsall towards Great Barr, North of Birmingham.
As far as I know, this bus did not find further use after its time with West Midlands Travel, and was presumably scrapped soon after?

Trent Barton 9310, has recently been converted for use as a driver tuition vehicle. Previously, the vehicle had been numbered 665 in the fleet and worked the Skylink services to East Midlands Airport. Finally ousted by an intake of new vehicles, the bus enjoys a more leisurely life these days.
While on late afternoon driver training duties, the bus is captured climbing Willey Lane towards Selston, Notts. Here the road makes a steady climb away from Moorgreen Reservoir and on towards Underwood in North East, Nottinghamshire.

Namaste wings to fly charitable society, Vellanad, Kerala, India, 2015. Visitando questo doposcuola io e Claudine siamo riusciti a far piangere questi due bambini solo grazie alla nostra presenza. Quando dopo un po' hanno visto che non eravamo cattivi hanno voluto posare per una foto.
Namaste Wings to Fly Charitable Society, Kerala, India, 2015. Quando mi chiedono di verificare la situazione di un progetto, di una famiglia, di un asilo o come in questo caso di un doposcuola, di fare un report come si dice in gergo, anche se so che la strada sarà lunga, piena di buche e con le curve che io vomito, che poi bisogna camminare un bel po' a piedi, con i sandali e le formiche rosse che ti mangiano i piedi, che fa caldo e l'umidità è al 100%, anche se so tutto questo, io sono semplicemente felice.
