Nathan, I first looked through your self portrait tips and then came over here. Congrats on your new baby!I just wanted to thank you, as a blogging newbie, for the generosity of your posts. As an ametuer photg'er too, and having a 0 budget to work from, I appreciate ideas to improve and not spend a fortune on equipment. Anyway, thanks...

I am always glad to be of help. Budget is one of those battles I fight and have yet to win. Good luck in your battle!
