Uncle Simon has his camera out again....

A couple of days back after my Iceland trip, and before heading off to the day job, I spotted by mothers, who was looking after my youngest nephew Elias.

Being a photographer you do try to take your camera with you every where you go, and especially knowing my photogenic nephews are around, you can guarantee the camera is with me.

After pulling out jigsaw after jigsaw, Elias finally settled down to watch Toy Story 2, and likes to sit in grandma's chair near the front window. This also gives me the opportunity to get out the nifty fifty and shoot some candid portraits.

My Nikkor AF 50mm 1.8D is my favourite lens EVER!!!!! Fantastic for portraits, especially in low light and when wanting to use just natural light only.

Aviation Photography Lovely and pin share is this lens, and looking forward to using this lens more when I look at upgrading to full frame later this year.

Being a portrait photographer, my 2 nephews are just fantastic to shoot, and love getting candid shots of them. It's true to say that my family aren't short of pictures of the 2 boys.

Lowry Theatre Also love experimenting with different processing in photoshop and lightroom with my portraits.

Lowry Theatre Elias is a perfect subject, and he always has a wide range of funny faces he pulls.

Lowry Theatre Whenever I can I always use natural light, although using bounce flash you can still get some excellent portrait shots in low light.
