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.

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 !!
