So, I'm looking to do more with my photography. At the moment it's just a hobby, and I feel i've improved in my skills a lot lately. My thoughts right now are to start doing portraits both family and individuals (maybe senior portraits, or kids...or something along those lines). I would love for something that I love to do to be able to bring in a supplementary  income. 

For those out there who have been doing this already, I'd love some advice as to where to start with it. Besides a camera, what other tools and items would be good to start out with?

I've had a busy couple weeks with my camera!

On the 27th of Sept I got the opportunity to be an Event photographer for UQuest Atlanta. UQuest is an urban challenge running event with different stations of challenges to perform. unfortunately non of the photos really came out to something i'd put on here but you can check them on on my Facebook Page  www.facebook.com/JDownerPhoto.

Last Thursday (Oct 1) I went to the Zoo with my wife and Daughter and got a lot of photos of the animals there. I've been posting them a few at a time on here and so far it seems people are enjoying them. I hope that they will continue to be enjoyed

On Saturday (Oct 3) I was the Event photographer (And Barista, i make some great lattes and cappuccinos) for my sister-in-law's baby shower. Still haven't had the chance to edit the photos yet but once i do i'll probably put a few on here. It was an honor to be her photographer and it was fun!

Hope Everyone out there is having a great week so far!

Well just an update.. to those who care

finally decided to make a facebook page for my photography. it's still just new so there isn't much there yet, just some of my personal favorites from the past couple years to give a foundation on the page.

I'd appreciate any likes on it. Link - Facebook page

Also, i was finally able to buy my 2nd lens for my camera! i'm excited to use it. just have to wait for it to arrive. 

For those wanting to know: my camera is a Canon 50D. my two lens i have now are the Canon Zoom Lens EF 28-135mm f/ 3.5-5.6 IS link and the Canon Zoom Telephoto EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III link

I was able to get my new lens off of 1sale.com at a great price ($99.99 free shipping). within the next few weeks i'll be sharing photos that have been taken with it. 

i hope everyone is having a great Weekend!

to all those who happen to read this.

I'm always looking for ways to improve my work. I want to learn new techniques and hear the knowledge and wisdom of more experienced photographers.

however, i'm not going to be able to do that unless i receive any from those passing through. if you do have anything to say please say it i'd love to hear it. if it's something in general then just post it to this. if it is photo specific then please post it on that photo.

tell me what you like and don't like. would did i do well on and what could have been done better.

most of my pictures are natural unedited while some have light touch up editing done them.

can't wait to hear from all of you

Thanks
