The first of two photoshoots this weekend saw me in sunny Surrey with the Mears family. The boys are as cute as a button and eager to play. We got the coloured plastic balls out and they went absolutely crazy for them! After all their energy was spent, we grabbed some more relaxed shots…
London
Mrs G. took me out yesterday for a surprise evening out. I had no idea where we were going just that it was in London. We wandered around for a while taking photos and then sat down to a sumptuous mexican meal at Wahaca. After several margueritas we found our way to the Royal Albert [...]
The Richards Families
A change of plan this weekend saw us in Birmingham with my sister and her gorgeous son for an impromptu photo shoot. Her brother-in-law’s family was also able to rearrange a few things and we had a great afternoon with the kids, some balloons and lots of coloured plastic balls! This was my first proper [...]
Ian’s Birthday
Went up to Durham to see my family-in-law this weekend and to celebrate Ian’s birthday. After a long 5 hour drive through rush hour traffic, rain and gales, we arrived just after 10pm. While the south was getting battered by the storms, we enjoyed nice, fresh and sunny November days in Durham. Later, we celebrated [...]
Woodland Adventure
I went out with the Salter and Hayes families yesterday for a walk in the woods. We were so lucky with the weather; unseaonably mild, hazy sunshine and no rain! A stark contrast to today! The autumnal colours are perfect right now and the children were running around in the leaves, splashing in the muddy [...]
Harriet Hayes’ Christening
It was a crisp and fresh October afternoon for the Christening of Harriet Hayes. The church was warm and welcoming and the service very enjoyable. Unfortunately I wasn’t allowed to take any shots during the service which was a shame. The moment when the Godparents surrounded the font on one side, with candles in hand [...]
Trampoline fun
Another fine late summer afternoon and we had a BBQ with friends and, as it turned out, some trampoline fun too! This really put the D700 auto focus through its paces and I must say it was mighty impressive. The kids were loving the trampoline and also having their photographs taken and I was loving [...]
The Nikon D700 has arrived!
So I decided to make the switch back to Nikon for the D700’s awesome performance at high ISO and its excellent AF system. Its quite a step forward from the 5D in almost every area notably the AF speed which is unbelievably fast with the Nikkor 24-70/2.8, the 51 million AF points and the 3D [...]
A day out in Little Baddow
We had a nice day walking in the countryside of Essex. My mission today was to take photos just using my 50/1.4 lens. Here are the best shots from the day…
Keily relaxing in the summer sun…
Summer (what we have of it) is just perfect for lying in the sun reading, relaxing and twittering…
