This one again...

Sorry, you will get sick of this photo, but wanted to compare this photo as a vintage action.

web edits vs. print edits

Just placing these photos on to see if they look better (clearer) than the previous ones - I just found out that photos need to be edited differently if they are to be used on a web. (Learning a new thing - or ten - every day!) Let's see...

Getting the hang of it...

Ok, I am biased - but really, is he not the cutest boy around? Much easier model than his sister as all she wants to do is play with the camera. But this was fun!

Playing with studio lights...

Still ironing out a few hiccups and getting to grips with what I'm doing here - but I'm having fun and again, my kids are my practice. I promise, I will have others on here soon!

my new equipment has finally arrived!

New camera, lenses, lights, backdrops, etc. etc. It's here, so I suppose with my huge debt, there's no going back! Lovin' my camera!!! Here are a few recent shots with it. My kids are quickly getting tired of being my models - but they do make excellent ones.....

highlights and exposures...
