JJG Photography's photostream  

I am 26 years old and I currently live in Bedfordshire, England. Photography has been a major passion of mine and I have always had a 'natural eye' since I was very young.



My real interest in photography only really started when I found an old Pentax Ashi Spotmatic II SLR camera in my grandfathers house and I have taken it on from there. I then undertook a small night course to help me understand the camera (things like loading film was a great challenge on those cameras!). After a while working with the Pentax, I then decided to upgrade to a more modern Canon EOS 500N, where automatic metering and focusing seemed fantastic in comparison to the Pentax.

My first digital camera was bought for me before I went to university and was a Nikon Coolpix 3100. The initial version had "bright" pixel problem and this was fixed. However I found the optics and quality were absolutely fantastic in comparison to the Canon! Pictures were far better than any other digital compact that I compared with at this time. Unfortunately battery life was a problem and I now have passed this great camera onto my parents, along with some high energy, rechargable batteries!

I currently have some weddings to attend to both this year and possibly next year. I hope I can produce some lovely pictures for these people.

Current equipement is as such:
Nikon D70s
Nikon D200
Nikon D300s
Nikkor 18-70mm DX Zoom
Sigma 50mm Prime Macro Lens
Nikkor 70-200mm VR AFS
Nikon Speedlight SB800
Sandisk Ultra II & Extreme III memory cards
Hoya Circ. Polariser
Western Digital 250gb Hard Drive
Iomega 1TB Hard drive
Nikon Picture Project
Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Lightroom 2.0



This is by far the best photographic equipment I have owned in terms of quality and use, the optics are fantastic and would highly reccommend Nikon to others.
