My NEW Blog

Francesca baby portrait

 Francesca (2 weeks old) was brilliant to work with. She was a proper model (but without the strops) and give me some great expressions to work with and she was so well behaved and tolerant considering what me and her Mom were asking of her moving her this way and that.
Below is a small selection of the photos and any comments welcome

Nikon D90

 

I have bought my new camera…

Its a Nikon D90 with a 18 – 105mm lens. I looked long and hard at different cameras before deciding on this one. Mainly because the reviews for it were excellent and so providing my customers with excellent photographs.

I have also bought myself

 

Nissin Di622 Flash

A Tamron 70 – 300 zoom

New Camera

 

OK I made the decision that to get any further with my photography I really needed a new camera. I needed a camera that was more professional and more capable. Don’t get me wrong my Fuji S9500 is a superb camera but its just not up to the job of what I need a camera in business for (portraits, weddings) but of course it will still be used for landscapes etc.

After LOTS of deliberation I decided to sell my beloved car. Its a Nissan 200sx (S13) that I have looked after and loved for over 7 years. But its getting harder and harder to afford fuel for it and keeping it on the road is a real pain sometimes.

But the upside of selling my car (above) is I can finally afford to buy myself a ‘proper’ DSLR and make some money from something I have loved doing for so long….. take photographs !!

My New Website

I have made a new website its a bit overhaul from my old one so hopefully this will be easier to navigate and of course to see samples of my work. Of course its always a work in progress as I continue to improve it

My wife (Katie) also has her section on the site and she continues to offer wedding stationary custom designed to the customers exact needs

Fuji S9500

 

I am like most people susceptible to bargains on ebay so when I saw a fuji s9500 for sale at a good price I had to bid….

I won the auction and the camera is excellent, it may be old tech now but it still produces great photos as you can see below

Fuji s8000fd

 

I  bought a Fuji s8000fd which is a cheap bridge camera that is no longer made. Its not the best camera in any particular area and you are not going to impress your friends BUT it is a great all round camera and its also quite small and light. It also has a good zoom range (18x) which is equivalent to something like a 400mm lens on a DSLR and it goes to wide angle to. One aspect were I think this camera really shines is with macro photography (close-up) like this toad below

Here are some more sample shots from this camera
