For the photographers amongst you, I took with me an old Nikon D70 (must have cost me £150 from ebay) plus a 35mm f2.0 fixed lens. And that was it. Cheap as chips but a totally reliable set up and beautiful results, sharp as a tack. I call it my 'don't-care-if-I-drop-it-in-the-ocean' camera. No flash, no superzooms, no tripod, no billion pixel SLR. The point being, as I keep banging on, fancy equipment ranks pretty low in the grand scheme of things when it comes to taking great pictures. Top of the list is hard earned experience gained through many years of exercising your mind's eye and through simple trial and error. Just get out and take lots of pictures. As often as you can. It really is the only way to get better. Eventually you'll see & just 'know' what works. As always, please feel free to write a comment :-)

Back from honeymoon!
That's Laura & I home from the Maldives!! We had a beautiful time together. What an amazing place. Paradise. Just like in Bounty adverts. You have got to try an island in the Maldives. Do what we did, save like mad and just do it! There's so much to tell. And so much to look back on and enjoy. After 10 blissful days, I've come back to a mountain of messages & emails to reply to so pleeeease give me a few days on that. And when the workload clears, I'll elaborate more on our adventure in the sun. And of course there'll be lots of holiday photos to share.
