Holland Park, constant source of photo opportunities

Taken before work on an overcast morning. The peacock was an unexpected surprise - and a real treat. "I'm ready for my close-up - check out my iridescent plumage, woman."

Long time, no blog...

It's been a while since I posted on this site, so I may have to make up for it! I've been experimenting with my 10x macro lens, which has produced some fun results especially with close-up shots of plants... Predictable, but quite quirky.

Here goes...

Take one beautiful baby...

This is my best friend's 8 and a half month old son, Cameron.

For one so young he is extremely comfortable and inquisitive in front of a camera and photographs particularly well - he has a wonderfully characterful face and is very animated now. Gorgeous!

Holland Park - the sequel

Taken in Holland Park, Kensington.

My baby

I have finally taken the plunge and invested in my first SLR camera: a beautiful, full-of-potential Nikon D40, with 18-55mm lens.

Over the next few months I'll be posting more photos on here and hoping that in time they improve.

Instead of posting details I shall try to let the photos speak for themselves from now on.
