Learning my own Portraits Shot

If you are a friend that I know for long, you would not wonder the many pictures I posted in here. It is because photography is just one of the hobby that I am really into and I could never get bored. I had been doing just ordinary photos before through film that cost me a lot of money for the good and the many bad results. There was no mentor and no books to read. I just go with what I feel and shoot hoping for the best ones but majority, it didn't look like those professional pictures taken in studio. What I learned from that experience is not on the quality of pictures I got but the memories behind the photos. Those things had been on going until I got married and not so happy with my photos. The shots were great but there was just no editing on the bad pictures. Until then, I got hooked with photoshop and photography itself. It's almost 10 years now but I only learned some few shooting tips when I bought my Nikon D80 year 2008. From that time on, I never really tweaked my camera. It was last year when I said I need to make the most of my camera. I bought some books and read some stuff online. I did learn in day to day basis. I had lots of bad pictures and with that I got frustrated at times and it's helpful in learning how to take better ones.

Anyway, there are many fields in photography and areas of interests. What I am into is portraits. So I started buying some accessories to build up my gear so I can do some portraits shot and learn by it as the shots progress. For today's event, I got my umbrella, its bracket and reflector. I only use the umbrella and bracket with the SB-600 flash and just the kit lens using Nikon D80 body. Here's my shot for the day.

put a new spin on a subject that's been written about for a long time. Excellent stuff, just wonderful!
