Waiting for my Nikon D800E !
Yep! I’ve just ordered mine and they tell me that it should be getting to me around June. As Nikon has brought out 2 almost identical versions of the D800 (the D800 and the D800E), I had a good long think about which version to get and there were a lot of points to consider.

The Silo.
Well, I wasn’t the actual wedding photographer here but these were my friends getting married so I think that gave me a licence to go wild with my camera. I didn’t go over the top though. I respected the high-pressure job that the paid guy had and stayed well out of his way. The wedding [...]

Welcome to Kirk Vagg’s blog !
Hi and welcome to my blog! My name is Kirk Vagg and I’ve been a photographer for many years. I’ve experimented with many genres but in recent times I’ve realised my true passion. Photographing people. Although I do stillchase lightning storms and race to catch a setting sun, I always find more depth in capturing people. [...]
