Congrats on getting a wedding in such an early time period! I've mainly only done school photography and bits of uni, however you've got heaps of portfolios, its great!!!

I mainly started the opposite way, I liked photoshop very much and loved the physics behind cameras, so thats how I got into it :), but I soon learned that its so much more satisfying taking a photo straight out of a camera without editing it and saying "hey, I took that!"

PS you're baby photos are fantastic :D

It is not always possible to do, but worthwhile keeping in mind, if you can remember in the spur of the moment. Still nice shots you have taken regardless.

Some of the guy in the field would have been fantastic if you were a bit higher or lower. Also a change of objects directly behind the head should be avoided if at all possible

I run a company called Creative Photo Workshops and one of our courses is Wireless Flash. These are images from last Saturdays one. We are hoping to run some events for Photo Wholesalers this year in SA.

At APSCON at Coffs Harbour they were collecting old spotmatics to give to the natives to photograph Rhinos instead shooting them They are paying them for each photo. Hope they gave them longer lens than the 50mm my cameras had. I have the 50th annerversary model istD at the moment but hope to update in the near future to either a 200D or same as you. John
