First event shoot.

Well where to start with this one,

I was asked by my Cousin and his Mrs, if I could document the Naming Ceremony of their gorgeous little boy.

I was very excited to be given this challenge, 

but then you get the guilt, 

"will i be good enough", 

"can i produce the goods", 

on one hand you think its fine as they are family and not paying customers, but just as fast you think this, 

its then you realise that being family, you know everyone who will be looking through your work and showing it off, so the pressure is even greater.

Deep down people who know me, know that I do enjoy pressure, and so I looked very forward and enjoyed the day massively.

One down fall i found though was that, i enjoy the documentary style of pictures and not posed. 

If i see a shot i then take it, but i noticed after the event, i got the images printed off into a book. The feel of the book was greatly received by most, but some were upset as they didn't make it into the book. Looks like this might be a problem at events, as not everyone is in a good picture and im not wanting to take a picture for pictures sake.

Its Christmas and i have just treated my self to a DSLR camera

Well Christmas is here with us once again,

While browsing over all the websites and shops, for presents for my loved ones, I thought it's finally time to bite the bullet and buy a dSLR.

Ive been a Canon IXUS point and shoot user for many years now and have upgraded a couple of times.

Now on facebook people are uploading images which just make me envious, as they are producing images which are well out of the baby IXUS's league.

With being a Canon user for years I was toying with the idea of a dSLR from them, but a few people have been raving about the Nikon brand, without getting into a Debate, Canon Vs Nikon, I have opted for the Nikon D90, and guess what?? I LOVE it!!

She came with the 18-105mm kit lens.

Here are a couple of images where im trying to get to grips with all the millions of settings, buttons and dials.
