My daughter bought me a ship in a bottle from a charity shop, she said it was for me to take pictures of as she knows I love photography. This is what I came up with. Seeing the tiny boat made me want to give it a sense of freedom on the open sea, despite being cooped up inside a bottle.

I use a Nikon D40X, a Nikon D60 and a Nikon D3100.
The lenses are either Nikkor or Sigma or a Tamron 60mm Macro. I also have a small collection of vintage cameras.
I hope you enjoy my photography and keep coming back for more, as I am constantly working to increase my portfolio.
