Having always taken lots of photos, albeit with a very basic point and press digital camera, I have recently purchased a lovely DSLR (Nikon D5000).
Since getting the new toy, I have taken about 4500 photos, of which approximatley 50 were half decent.
Apart from (obviously) taking hundreds of the children and the dog, I seem to be oddly turned on with taking pictures of flowers. I think it is because, even though I am a total beginner, I am enthralled with how well the camera captures colours and definition.
So, the craft work is still ongoing, having a run on baby activity cubes and fragrant strawberries for gifts at the moment, my embrionic creative juices are currently flowing towards photograpahy.
So, for anyone interested, below is a link for some of the better flower shots taken recently.
