Nikon AF 50mm 1.4…my new lens!

I have been playing around with my new lens and have very quickly come to the conclusion that I need a new camera to go with it!!! Here starts the saving towards my new Nikon D90 ouch. Here are some shots that I took while playing with the magnificent thing...

Richmond Delights!

I made a homecoming visit this weekend to my old town Richmond while James was having a suit fitting. It was a glorious sunny day which I spent with my best girl Greer and my darling little brother Nick and his wife Emma. Here are some snapshots.....

Paws Pet Photography - take note Lulu...

I have discovered a very clever Scottish chap (of course this comes naturally to the Scots)!!! His name is Paul Walker. I don't really need to say a lot about him - his photographs really speak for themselves! You can tell how much he adores animals. I have a few doggys lined up for photos this summer so I better start practising! In fact I think I might sign up to one of his courses later in the year! Take a look at his fabulous website!

The Garden Tour 2010 - Winkworth

I am starting a tour of Surrey & Hampshire gardens this summer so as to capture the variety of flowers, trees & landscapes of our pleasant land (also need some practice on my camera)! I adore English gardens and am always eager to support the National Trust when I can. This weekend James and I visited Winkworth Arboretum. I loved this place - I felt like I was walking through a vintage postcard! 'Winkworth was stablished in the 20th century, this hillside arboretum now contains more than 1,000 different shrubs and trees, many of them rare. The most impressive displays are in spring, with magnolias, bluebells and azaleas, and autumn, when the colour of the foliage is stunning......'
