Haha very funny! I hopefully will get some offers. How does it work? Do I go to them? Do they come to mine? Do we go to some random place and do the photos? Can I expect them to pay for studio time? Portraits and studio shoots are all new to me.

Ah brilliant thanks!

Haha- Both doors opens at 50mph causes serious pressure build up in the back of the van!

Hi there, I need to practise taking portaits. How do I find someone willing to spend the time modelling for my camera without having to pay them? There must be people out there who will just do it for nothing if they can have the photos of themselves? I really want to get into portraits...

I've posted it already in another thread but I thought it was quite good, so I'll post it in here. It was taken last Wednesday.

That is very useful, and easy to understand. Thanks!

That's very clever how you sorted that!

The 50D is amazing at handling high ISO, well compared to my old Nikon D40 it is anyway.

Really? That would be really excellent if you honestly don't mind. I'm quite far from you but obviously I'll pay for RM Special Delivery both ways. I need to get a guide on flash photography (sure there will be one on here somewhere) and then get used to it before the 25th June. I'll PM you...

Another one for you-

I got one on Friday and I love it. Excellent bit of kit very impressed with it so far.

Haven't got any photography friends which is very sad I know. I can't find the offer on comets website now, think I missed the boat there.

I can't afford the 580EX, didn't realise how expensive it was! I would probably get the 270EX, is that worth having? Or is it a case of 580EX or nothing?

I thought about a flashgun, I've never used one before though as all my photography has been either motorsport or whilst I have been out and about and couldn't carry the slr, lenses, and a flashgun. But it would be wise to have one, I should probably look for a tutorial on here on how to use...

Thanks for the links guys very helpful. That 24-70 Canon L lens looks like an excellent bit of kit. Bit pricey though but looks excellent. I want it. Hmm.... What body parts can I live without. Think I'll rent it for 10 days for the prom shoot and then at the end of July I think I get...
