Off-duty wedding photographer!

It’s that time of year when I’m off to lots of lovely weddings and taking photographs of people’s very special day. This weekend is slightly different, it’s one of my best friend’s big day down near Bishop’s Stortford, so Mr EightyOne and I are heading down there to see her get married with our own eyes (rather than through a viewfinder, for a change!). I’ll still no doubt have a camera with me on hand to take some photos of their wedding, and maybe even some of us being there!

So, have a wonderful wedding Little Em, and we’ll hopefully have a catch up this afternoon once you have become Mrs. Herd! x

To the rest of you, have a brilliant weekend. I’ve currently got some fantastic plans in the works for a new project involving portrait photography – I’m sure you’ll be hearing about it soon!

A lovely new DSLR for the collection

New to my camera collection is this fantastic Nikon D90. Don’t worry, I’m not going to rattle of all the technical jargon at you (though if you do like that sort of thing, here’s a link)

I’ll be using this camera as my lead body (my backup currently being a D80), with both a fixed Nikon 50mm, f1.4 and a Nikon DX 18-105 lens for a bit of flexibility. My trusty SB600 flash will lighting my way for the wedding shoots, and the hunt is now on for a portable studio kit to cover that side of things.
