Serpentis, Ah sorry about the misunderstanding. In that case I think the borrow method is the best way to go. I've used point and clicks before. Actually I've seen some real good pictures with them but following the action and bluring the background only! With a disposable! I don't know. I think it could be done though. However you would also not be making your best work. And that is important if you are being graded! May be you can provid "gaffer" help for someone if they later loan you their camera. Good luck. Bsteph
