Photography has gripped me in a big way, I started at the end of 2006 with a point & shoot camera just taking holiday snaps & photos of family etc, but then quickly discovered my passion...I then slowly moved up to using an entry level DSLR & then onto a more advanced camera (5D Mk II). Now I'm moving away from an amatuer as photography is incorporated into my daily work, I am still learning and discovering new ideas, techniques and the art of photo manipulation (which is all self taught), I love experimenting & trying new things & i've discovered the emotions and excitement photography brings not only to myself but to others, I hope you enjoy my website & Thank you for viewing.

    "I have to say that Nick is one of the most accomplished and all round photographers I've come across on flickr... There's pretty much an example of everything on his stream, and everything is also always simply stunning too..

    Nick may not be one of the most prolific of posters on flickr, but what he does post is always most definitely worth the wait...

    He's certainly an inspiration for the rest of us mere mortals..."

    "Nick is a very very talented photographer. He's worked very hard, and is finally having all his hard work pay off being published! (Very well deserved!) He's one of the first few people I actually made a connection with on flickr, and to be honest, I always feel honored when I receive a comment from him as I feel his work is at such a high caliber. He's taken the time to explain things to me, which I'm so grateful for being an amateur... it's so nice to have known him along the way of my growth, as he's always been a flickr member I want to impress! His landscape shots are amazing, and I love that's he's experimenting with portraiture amongst other things. He can succeed anywhere he wants in photography. He's THAT good. Basically, he's fabulous, check his work out, it's definitely worth it. Thanks for your inspiration Nick! I appreciate it ;) x"

    "Am in amazement how quickly Nick has "upped his game" in Photography.

    I remember when I first checked out his Stream and was thinking "nice pics". Next thing I knew I had to keep checking his profile to make sure it wasn't some other Nick's pics I was looking at as it was as though a different photographer was posting anew each week as his level progressed!

    Look forward to watching this fine artist continue to evolve and grow in such a great endeavor!"

    "I was impressed with Nicks work from the very first shot I saw.
    He is an excellent photographer & a master at post processing.
    Nick seems to live on Flickr & always has comments for everybody. Initially I thought someone had created an automatic commenting machine & called it Nick, but after conversing with him I now know he is real. Its a pleasure to watch Nick getting better & better, especially as I know he's always willing to pass on tips about the new techniques he learns."

    "Last February I had just gotten my new digital camera and was ready to go!!..I started taking some shots and around April I discovered Flickr, I finally got the nerve up to post a few shots, and up pops Nick… I didn’t know him from Adam. Every shot I posted ever so bad, he was there to help me though. I’m just amazed how he finds the time to create his own work which is just amazing, and then comment and help others!!…. I think I’ve finally figured it out though :) His own talented son Bradley has just gotten his own account…. I wonder if in those earlier days there could have been 2 Haigh’s commenting on hundreds of shots… I just thought he never slept :0) All aside he’s an amazing Photographer , and I always look forward to seeing his new work… Thanks Mate!!"

    "Nick is an amazing photographer who takes beautifully crafted and expertly manipulated photos that exhibit both mood and drama; all with a keen eye for composition. His is the first photostream of my contacts that I visit to see his latest shots of a city we both call home; many of places I know well but seen with a fresh perspective.
    He is quick and generous with his praise and feedback and I value his opinion greatly.

    But don't just take my word for it, go take a look at his photostream and see it all for yourself :-)"

    "Nîck is one of those photographers whose generosity and insight are matched only by his ability behind a camera, blending futuristic city scapes with flavours of the past, his body of work is as diverse as it is captivating. The first thing that ever struck me about Nîck was the care he takes with his photostream, he clearly agonises over his submissions, probably doing take after take before finally hitting upload, and it shows. His entire stream is testament to the value of quality over quantity and for me this is exactly how anyone who has passion should operate, He's someone I feel really fortunate to know here on flickr, a prolific talent and a top bloke, here's to you Nîck!"

    "From the start, Nick has been a constructive and responsive fellow-photographer whom I consider to be a friend. He is thoughtful both with his comments and his messages. He challenges me to truly bring my 'A' game to the table every time he posts new photos. He's a proven photographer with a wide range of subject and technical matter and truly does have a love for the lens. A great photographer and an equally great friend.

    Wishing you the best, Nick."

    " Had to check out this guy who was always leaving me great comments, always saying the nicest things. His recent photos have the look and feel of someone who has been shooting for a long time and one who has a good strong grip on the processing end. I was in for a shock when I read Nick's profile to discover he is new to digital photography and a newbie in Flickr. Your technique and eye tells me a lot about you. You are hungry and passionate..........you're going far in this, trust me............your talent has burst thru...........no stopping now.
    And big congrats on quitting the cigs!

    Always a friend,
    S.S."
