Leaving behind the pro tools of his trade, he used only a smartphone and the free photo-editing app Snapseed to produce this celebration of Dylan Thomas\u2019 \u2018ugly, lovely town\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"To the Lighthouse book cover\" class=\"wp-image-7\" srcset=\"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/To_the_Lighthouse_cover_final.jpg 1696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption>Front cover of &#8220;To the Lighthouse&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is <em>To the Lighthouse<\/em>, a slim volume of photographs recording a prolonged period of spring sunshine along a coastline strangely devoid of people. During a period of just over two months he cycled as far as the Mumbles Lighthouse more than 70 times, setting himself the challenge of taking just one photo per day, while following five strict self imposed rules. Nick Smith\u2019s new portfolio provides an upbeat view of a seaside town that was at the same time suffering from the economic effects of lockdown that no-one will ever forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8220;Nick Smith shows just what an iPhone is capable of\u2026 in the right hands.\u201d<\/em> <br><em>Lesley Williams, Editor, The Bay<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TO THE LIGHTHOUSE Lockdown Swansea by smartphone and bike With only one session of outdoor exercise allowed per day during&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":124,"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/lighthouse.nicksmithphoto.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
