Cool - thanks all, this has really helped me too. Just one thing - a lot of this is great IF you have a studio..... I can't even think of a way to get access to one!! Ho hum - I've still gotta fix something with the models (friends) I have lined up, but now I've got the new camera (yes, I'm still harping on about that!!) I'm a LOT more confident about going ahead. Just one thing I found out while I was away - I was at a holiday park, and there was a show by a group of hopefuls in a band - my eldest wanted a picture with them after their show, so I asked them if it would be ok. They were more than happy to pose with her, and I found myself naturally directing them when the second pose didn't look quite right.... it's gave me more confidence in that if I can tell them what to do I should be able to manage a colleague.....YEAH!!! Cheers, guys.
