I've been doing that, and have saved a few - I'm scared I find a really good one and then it disappears! I've also found the "Digital photography school" website and have found some really good bits on there, I just prefer books as I cant read a huge amount on a computer screen but I'm printing...

Maybe after Christmas I'll looking into getting getting a flash gun, just cant afford it at the mo & would probably like to understand light a bitty better before purchasing - theres a lot to learn - especially with bouncing the light of walls etc(??). Thats all good, I work with Canon!

Ah fab thanks will take a look at those, I like books to just throw in a bag or pocket - makes life easier! Haha I get where you're coming from, that was my next plan but theres usually a few and dont want to waste me time with some crap! :)

Oh that one sounds really interesting and seems to cover a lot in it. Thanks very much

I've been looking at books on Amazon but there are so many, I dont know which is best to go for or actually worth buying. I dont have much cash to spare so didnt want to go wasting it on something that may not be suitable. Topics I'd like it to cover are: Lighting, how to work with it and...

Mike - Can I just say that I said that they weren't good from the start, I did read your first post and I'm not going to be going to people/portraits, its just a favour for a friend and I was just trying to get some advice. I am quite aware that I "picked the wrong location" but we went to the...

Oh and can I just add, his eyes aren't squinting because of the sun, its his natural set to his eyes - always makes shooting him a problem I find.

Was at the beach yesterday and had a go at location portraits. The sun was awful and we have gales so I'm surprised I got anything half decent but these are a couple that I think is best. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

I have no studio type equipment, it will mostly be at their house in the sitting room or somewhere similar

I've been doing landscapes and animal photography for a while, I have dabbled a little in portraits, just of my other half but I would like to get more into people photography, luckily enough my friend's Mum knows about my love of photography and has asked if I would do some family shots for...

Great thanks, I did have a look on the cotswold mount page but I'm never very sure about using websites I've never heard about or used before but with your recommendation I will look again. Oh there probably is, I just never manage to find what it right, I'll do another search. Do you happen...

I would like to learn how to mount my own photos but havent got a clue what to do or what to use, I've tried finding a tutorial online but cant find what I'm looking for. Can anyone talk me through what materials to use or know of a good tutorial online? My alternative, if possible, is get it...

What a gorgeous photo Eltawater! Yes they definitely can be!
