I'm looking to get a portable black/white reversable backdrop with a train. It needs to be a decent size (big enough to get group shots of about 3 or 4) and needs to be portable (and non creasing!!) I have a set of studio lights and I'm looking to complete my portable studio with a backdrop...

well, I was going to the botanics tomorow so I might see if I can caputure anything worthy of a competition entry!

very interested to read this. I have some prints I'm needing to get done and was going to go with photobox but then read a fair bit of negative stuff about them on here. I'm going to give them a bash and see how they come out.

This sounds totally amazing and like an excellent opportunity to learn a lot. I am so green with envy for all of those of you going. I'd love to go (as portrature is wherre my heart lies) but unfortunalty I just cant afford it at the mo (unemployed :( ) and I doubt that will change in time to...

great tips!! I tried phil T's defog and pop.... your right! (I at first thought 500!!! no way!!) but it works!

haveing just suffered a blow to my business and photography and genrally feeling all down in the dumps about it reading that has helped put it all into perspective! I'd just like to stand up and say (with a straight face) "I am a photographer!" :D

I had a bash at zoom burst a month or so back, photographing a gig. I like it (as did the band!) here's an example of one

excellent tutorial! I have a batch of photos of my niece that I'll be able to use this with! looks like I'm going to be having a busy weekend!! Also, janice - how did you leave a portion of it so that you could see the sheet under your handsom models feet?!

thanks for posting that link - I now understand what your all on about! Think I might have to have a go at that myself this weekend!

think I'll be trying the high pass form of sharpening too!

what is a docking station? and what is the importance of the glossy screen?? (I'm learning so much from this - thanks guys!)

not half as often as I should! I dont use it when doing portrature as it makes you too static, and I need to move when shooting portraits. Definate no no on the band scene, just not enough room for one (and I'm getting pretty good at leaning against things - wall, my knees - to get steady...

ok, have taken on board all your good advice (and can I just say I'm over whelmed at the amount of people who've replied... thank you all!) I've looked about, and I think I've nearly decided.... so, what do you think of the dell inspiration 1501 at £539? heres the link to it...

hey, thanks for your replies. I'm not sure what their budget is, hence asking for what top notch specs would be and what min specs are so I can tell them and they can then have a look about. I'm going to have a peek on ebay just now and see whats about. Thanks again for all the replies...

my studio lighting gear is kept in bags ontop of my wardrobe. My cameras and lenses and accesories are kept in two camera bags which sit on my bedroom floor along with my tripod. Moving in september into a flat with my boyfriend and we are going to have a dedicated music/photography room.
