I concluded that lighting plays a huge part in portraits. If you get the light right, most probably the picture will turn out nice. I guess i still prefer candid portraits of people than a posed one..but the experience in this one is good!

My Billingham

It took me awhile to consider getting this bag. I have never bought a camera bag that cost so much..(well of course leaving aside my porter bags), and im often very rough with my camera bags. So even till the last minute, i am still thinking if i should buy it.

Well, the remorse feeling didnt last long after i got the bag. The moment i sling it with my camera in it, i felt i make the right choice.

Credits to Holly for these shot!

This bag is looks refine and classy. Every single aspect of the design of this bag is considered carefully from a user point of view. The bag stick close to your back which in a way, makes movement easy and more comfortable.

There are a few options on the color and material but i chose the Khaki tan canvas for its feel!

So here i have, my first Billingham Hadley Large bag!
