Landscape photographer Nick Green (also here) has the good fortune to live in the Lake District but backs it up with what seems a detailed knowledge of the region's more obscure corners. Everything's from Wherethefuckisthatdale, and while there is an Ullswater boathouse, I don't think there's one photograph of Ashness Bridge, Keswick landing stages, or Derwentwater's jetties (though that may be because his Northern Fells gallery isn't working). Two dogs provide even more excuse to get outdoors with the camera and are ready-made props, so maybe there should be a new saying, “photographing two dogs with the same stone”. It's usually one near Helton Fell, wherever that may be.

It's too easy to make the Lake District look green and pretty, but Nick's style is darker - even his sunsets are set against brooding, stormy skies. Particularly interesting is his use, unusual for landscape photography, of off-camera flash. At first you think he's been lucky to catch a shaft of light which has fallen on the fence post, rocks or sign in the foreground, or else it's as if the gate or wall is lit by car headlights to create a more furtive appearance. “Lakeland Noir“?

A nice touch is his new Lakes Photographer's Toolkit.
