I&#8217;m Nick Tsiatinis, and I&#8217;m a landscape photographer and natural world photographer currently based in Leicestershire. That&#8217;s me in the photograph above (taken by my good friend <a title=\"Mark Huddlestone Photography\" href=\"http:\/\/www.markhudd.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Mark Huddlestone<\/a>), on location at Kimmeridge in Dorset on one of my frequent photography excursions.<\/p>\n<p>My passion is landscape and nature photography. To me, there&#8217;s not much that beats the pleasure of heading off in my (t)rusty VW Camper Van and heading to new location for a few days worth of camping, exploring the area and attempting to photograph the essence of my trip. The weather&#8217;s not always on my side, but you make the best of what you&#8217;ve been given! Whilst I&#8217;m based in Leicestershire and have photographed around the local area, I really enjoy seascapes and water shots &#8211; which is a problem when you live in the part of England that&#8217;s furthest from any coast! Because of this I travel around a lot to indulge in my landscape photography. I frequently visit Keswick in the Lake District, I&#8217;ve been to Dorset numerous times, have been to the tip of England at Land&#8217;s End and have even travelled as far north as Iceland &#8211; but that was a complete washout, so we won&#8217;t talk about that!<\/p>\n<p>Basically, I love landscape photography, and I also like to dabble in nature photography as well.<\/p>\n<p>Equipment wise, I&#8217;m a Canon guy, using high end equipment &#8211; wide angle lenses, mid telephoto and long zooms as and when necessary to get the photographs I want. I&#8217;m a big advocate of getting the pictures right in the camera, so I don&#8217;t do outlandish Photoshop effects and trickery to create photographs that were never there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been published on a number of occasions, from a 6 page spread in Digital SLR Photography (you can find the writeup <a title=\"One Hour Photography with Lee Frost for Digital SLR Photography Magazine\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nickt.co.uk\/naturalworld\/index.php\/2011\/04\/06\/one-hour-photography-with-lee-frost-for-digital-slr-photography-magazine\/\">on my blog<\/a>), to a top 25 finish in the Amateur Photographer &#8216;Photographer of the Year&#8217; competition in their 2010 &#8216;Walk on the Wild Side&#8217; round, as well as being shortlisted a number of times in the Practical Photography &#8216;Photographer of the Year&#8217; competitions, having my website reviewed, written a large &#8216;Viewpoints&#8217; feature and had a smaller &#8216;Viewpoints at a glance&#8217; feature\u00a0in Outdoor Photography magazine and being featured in a national wedding magazine for my wedding photography. Additionally, in 2012 I was awarded the LSINWP (Licenciate of the Society of International Nature and Wildlife Photographers) qualification after a panel of my photographs were judged by a panel to meet the high standards required for the qualification (although since leaving &#8216;The Societies&#8217; in 2013 I am no longer entitled to use the letters).<\/p>\n<p>My photographs are available to buy direct from <a title=\"Online Gallery \/ Shop\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nickt.co.uk\/gallery\">my gallery<\/a>, and I&#8217;m also available for landscape commissions.
