Ah, thats great, thanks your help assistance.

Hi Guys Is this normal as Ive just bought one secondhand and none of my other lenses do this, so I'm a little worried? Its not as smooth as when I focus but it still moves. Thanks in advance.

Hi there I dont have a frame support as I've hung it from the walls (on elastic so it has some give and doesnt rip if someone stands on it in the wrong place), so I guess I could MASKING TAPE the cotton to the walls? Does JUST spraying it with water from a plant sprayer really straighten it...

Know of any cheap places online? Thanks

Any suggestions or links? Thanks

Hi I'm sure most of you use vinyl or paper, but I use a 3m x 6m white cotton muslin for a backdrop. My problem is that it creases easily. Its too big to be able to iron on the floor (and its gets too dirty this way) so how do you guys iron it while its hanging? Thanks

Hi Thanks for the input. The problem with distance is that I'm working in quiet a confined space in my lounge (Not a lovely huge warehouse), so to get the model in shot fully this is pretty much the maximum distance I can work to. I'm pretty good with Photoshop, so can remove a few...

One more Below is nearly correct as well

Here you go, I put some of the info on the image too (Let me know if anyone knows how to get more image info using a Mac) I'm one of those people that really doesnt like having pics of themself online, so I've cut my head off. These are a few practice shots taken by my partner of me in my...

Hi there Quiet a newbie here, so please bare with me. I purchased a set of background stands and white muslin cotton sheet recently to take some full body shots http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220779316048 But I can still see the background image a lot in the photos...
