Hi, i am travelling around Europe in my sailboat taking pictures of my trip and the places I am visiting.

I have owned cameras of various description for almost 30 years. My first SLR was a Zenith TTL and I used to shoot slide film and develop it in the kitchen sink.
Those were the good old days where every shot counted because of the cost.

_______________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________

My current camera equipment is:-

Canon 300D
Canon 5D
Lenses:-
canon 18-55mm EFS
canon 55-200mm USM
canon 24-105mm IS USM
Sigma 170-500mm DG
Flash:-
Canon EX 550EX Speedlite Flash
Nikon coolpix 7600 (just right for the pocket)

I now have a shiny new Soligor PT180 Tripod.

But will still be using a monopod made from a fishing rod, a cork and a bolt. Yes I can hear you all laughing but it works down to 1/3 of a second. Update 08/2008 you can all stop laughing now I have finally bought a Tripod

I live full time 24/7 on my boat so you will notice that water plays a big part in my life & my photos, because the Oceans and rivers are my tracks and highways as I travel from place to place and the view from afloat couldn't be more different than when ashore.

I connect to Flickr using hotspot wifi technology so my connection can be great, appalling or non existing. Depending where I am Anchored. So please be patient with me it is not always possible to visit everyone. But as a contact of mine says comment and Fave my photos and you will move straight to the top of the list.

Testimonials (6)

Canon-Girl says:

"I wanted to write many times a testimonial to Nigel's excellent photography. It is true that his images have left me totally speechless many times, but I had just too many words to say. To sum it up, I will only say that I could look for hours at his superbly composed, beautiful photos and enjoy every single minute of it."

wottheduk says:

"I'm no expert but I daresay that it doesn't always take an expert to see artistic genius which is what Nigel is, an artistic genius. You can get lost in his images. It's almost like being there. I envy his voyage but I am glad that he shares his wonderful view of the world with the rest of us. Thanks and all the best on your voyage and in your life."

Haribo's Photos says:

"Captain Nigel may be a "normal guy" but his pictures are something else. He turns them into a work of art with stunning, vibrant colours. A romp through his photostream is well worth the effort and very much recommended. He is also a kind, generous, supportive friend. My boat came in that day he sailed into my Flickr life."
