FINALLY BOUGHT MYSELF an SLR..... allow me to welcome my gorgeous Canon EOS 400D to the DA family ....so i'm still working out the kinks so the next batch of shots will be mostly experimental and will probably end up in scrap...so i would appreciate critiques on how i could be able to make the shots better and ...plus any tips or tricks in the camera are greatly appreciated...

Today i conclude my week long trip to turkey ... my god this country is gorgeous ... istanbul is by far one of the most beautiful cities in the world... i have not seen such fusion between east and west.. and all around you you can find absolutely stunning palaces and mosques ... night life is amazing having most clubs on the bosphorus with an open air dance floor over looking a beautiful suspension bridge that changes colors every few minutes , and the beautiful Dulma Bahca...one thing i noticed... as you cross the bridge from the european part of istanbul to the asian part of istanbul...you'd find the domes of mosques all on the horizon in a semi circular way... i recommend turkey to anyone...i'm posting some pictures and i shall post the rest as soon as i've sorted them out

Its been a while since i've posted new deviations so i thought i'd start off with my first journal entry...
been a bit busy the past few months and i've been neglecting DA for a bit ... my photographic zeal has finally paid off.. i got feature in a magazine and now i'm working as a freelance photographer for them... will post the spread very soon... also got the opportunity to teach children how to use camera and photographer... i must say they really blew me away with how easily they can learn and excecute masterpiecive shots...i'm going to feature a few in the next journal...hope you like the new shots...
