Here is my latest attempt at a photo.
The main light in the living room was left on as the other half was watching tele and sewing at the same time. By the time it was switched off I was in bed!
Never the less a lesson learnt, and you can see me on the watch!!

Yeh I know well out of advert material, but I like it as first attempt under exceptional lighting circumstances, like no proper lighting, no proper background eg and no understanding. At least it is not at the normal angle!

missed opportunities

I have included this as we did not have our planned day out today as a substitute for anything that may have gone on today. Sorry Steve, but it was a good laugh.

Here are the final images that were chosen by Kate for her portfolio and web site. There are also a set of prints for her portfolio.
I learnt so much in a short time with this project, from guidance re lighting from Mr Steve and his constructive comments, to how to place the camera, to understanding the reality of the difficulty of "on-site" photography, balanced against the studio place settings and room sets. The combination of comments from Adrian and Steve have made me realise the differences, and how to go forward in the future.

Yes, the room set is a brilliant idea, but there maybe a place for in situ as well. I look forward to the next project/s.
