Technology, I love it. If only they made Compac Flash cards as well.

Move over Anne Geddes, armed with a huge pumpkin, a sunflower and the guide below, I am going to take over the baby photography market.

Actually, I have had some success with baby photos before, but it is another job I wouldn’t want to do full time. I was lucky, young Jack was a fine looking little fellow (see photo below) and he had character from the moment I saw him. It was also a very laid back shoot, at the hospital he was born at, which made things even easier.

On the flip side to that. Can you imagine what some mothers are like? They would be directing you to make their baby look like an angel, and lets face it, there are some bloody ugly babies around. (I know, Satan may as well reserve me a spot for that comment.) Admit it, you have seen an ugly baby, there are too many of them for you not to have. Luckily, mothers are so overflowing with hormones, they usually think their child is a cherub, and it doesn’t matter if you dressed the baby in a hessian sack and plonked it on a welders bench, they would probably be happy. But there would still be the odd one that would make your life hell.

So if you still want to get into baby photography, click the link below.

… have a read of the article below. It might make you think again. I have nothing but the utmost respect for the good wedding photographers out there. You will notice I said good. There are some people who claim to be wedding photographers who wouldn’t know the bride from the groom. There are others that charge like they are royal photographers and shouldn’t be let near a camera.

One of the photos I was happy with from Ruth and Paul’s wedding.

I have photographed one wedding, which was for a friend, and I am embarrassed at the photos. It was a couple of years back now, and I was crook as a dog on the day, but that was their big day, and I feel like I let them down. It is a very hard hard job.

Wow, so instead of buying one, you could have just wandered up to a speed camera and undone a few screws!

I love park benches. I love shallow depth of field. I love medium format cameras, especially Yashicas, and this is such a good shot out of a Yashica D, so it gets todays Pic of the day.
