I got into photography by "accident". My wife lost her Kodak camera on a family trip to Houston in 2008, so i ended up buying a Nikon D3000. That's how i got started. I self taught myself, learnt from online photography blogs and bought a couple of books. I'm not a pro by any means, just a keen hobbyist.

In 2013, i bought a Nikon D610 body and gave out my old D3000. I wanted to be able to shoot in RAW format and full FX. As per lenses i have Nikon 70-300mm and a 50MM F1.4G . I'm still planning to buy low aperture zoom lens, but those cost a fortune...

Since i'd collected a huge number of pictures over the years, and still collecting more, the thought came to me to start a photoblog, where i can share my pictures. That is how afrispheric.com was born.

My first post on Afrispheric.com was on 11th of September 2014, and i've been updating the blog roughly on a weekly basis. I've also posted some pictures from my Blog here on Nairaland. The links to my previous NL posts are below:

Since i (currently) live in Scotland, most of my pictures will be from there, except pictures from when i travel abroad. The pictures are 100% mine, no stealing other peoples work or such.

So, why i am saying all this?

Well, I've decided to start updating my blog (and this thread) at most every TWO days God willing, starting from today. For each update, I'll post ONE picture here and on my twitter handle (www.twitter.com/afrispheric) and Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/AfrisphericBlog) and the rest on my blog.

So join me on this journey via;

I like the sleepy cat and the cow. Others are a little too life-like to have photographic appeal.

Having a shallow depth of field (e.g in cat and cow) makes a massive difference in the outcome of your image.

Keep shooting

@NaLaugh,

Hi sis,

I am an optometrist, though currently serving. I am really interested in relocating to U.S or Australia. Can I get your contact? I really have a lot of questions... Pls.

Best regards.
