I'm now the proud owner of a Nikon D5100.

Hi all.

I've recently taken delivery of a brand new Nikon D5100 and I must say "WOW" what a piece of kit.

So far I've barely begun to scratch the surface of what this great bit of kit has to offer.

Below are a couple of quick captures I did at the weekend during it's first outing.

Enjoy. :)

Welcome to M. Margetts Photography


I'm an amateur photographer and writer who is still trying to find his style. 


I took up photography a year ago and have been rapidly improving ever since. 


My current interests are Architecture and Landscape, but I do sometimes experiment with Street and Macro. 


My first camera was a Fuji S1600 which produced some good daytime photo's. But is sadly no good for indoor work especially in low light. The constraint of this camera had soon become apparent and I started looking for a DSLR. 


I purchased a second hand Nikon D60 recently and straight away saw the possibilities available. I can safely say I have caught the bug and now have an ever expanding selection of kit available to use.


I plan to use part of this blog as a showcase of my work and part of it as a "how to" section. This partly is to act as a reminder to me of my progress and as a resource to anyone else thinking of taking up photography.


So I invite you to join me on my journey of improvement and we'll learn together.


Bye for now and happy shooting.


Mark :)
