Had the chance to enjoy this battle reenactment once again this year. Way too many photos to post all. Had a fantastic time on my first shoot since having shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff. Fantastic weather and a great time had by all.

The bees didn't seem to mind me, they were too busy getting ready for the winter months to come.

Of course I had to purchase a few to go into my personal gardens, I will be back!!!!

I spent a most wonderful morning shooting Iris at the semi- public Heritage Fields. My most favorite of all, I even have a tattoo of a iris.

Thank you.

I had the pleaser of photographing the Battle of Aiken reenactment this year. This was my first time, it defiantly won't be my last.

Yes, the lady on the right was a true challenge, she was born with spinal bifita and has no feet, It also left her with out the ability to smile. She didn't want her feet to show and that is why I placed the little girl in front. This was defiantly a challenge to shoot.

This was the second wedding I have ever photographed, I didn't get paid because this was for a friend, Lots and Lots of photo's, this is a very small sample.

Thank you! It turned out to be a wonderful deal.

Update: Thank you to all that have responded to my question, Yes I decided to jump the gun and make the purchase, and I am IN LOVE!!!! The deal was from a woman who had pruchased theses from a profesional photographer friend and had not gotten into the photo bug like she had thought. The lens work with my camera and by far exceeded my expectations. I have looked up the values on the lens and she had far underpriced the package deal. I told her this and she said she was happy with what she wanted with them and glad that I would get use of them. Not all people are out there to scam you.

I am not a professional photographer and do not pretend to be one, when I first found this forum I so enjoyed talking to other photographers and seeing their work, asking for CC and help to learn, I droped out for quite a while due to negativity of some of the forum members, looks like it going to happen again.

As someone who started out with a COOLPIX camera and has graduated to a D5300 I feel I have done quite well with limited income to obtain my equipment for myself and so sorry if someone feels that you need a High Dollar Camera to make beautiful photos.

Nice set, great way to spend time!

Love the third and last capture, so fun to look at, keep shooting!

I have a Nikon D5300 and have been looking for a telephoto lens, Found this on market place and was wondering, knowing if I make this intire purchase, would the lens be compatable and worth the purchase.

The camera Body is a D90 which is now retired, but when I googled it was quite a expensive body. So I quess what I am asking in the round about way is, Does this look like a good deal. They are asking 200.00.
