My post perhaps did not answer your question fully as the video shows how to make a grey background white at the time of shooting. Here is a good tutorial that will show how to make a good selection of the background so it can easily be changed or replaced. It is quite long at 34 mins. Another one. Hopefully one of these will be helpful to you :).

Not really abstract, but it is incense smoke Smoking Man

I would use a window for the light. Have your wife stand with her back to the window and place your reflector in front of her. The natural light will give a nice rim light to the subject and the reflector will give the face/body light so as not to be a silhouette. Here is a video I found helpful. http://www.ephotozine.com/photography-videos/video/window-light-portrait-tutorial-2290

Yes, I agree, two lights as the main, and use the speedlite on the highest stop behind the subject, and it will highlight the background as well as give a nice highlight around the edges of peoples heads to give a more interesting group shot, that's if you place the flash in a correct position. I'm investing in the 500/500R, how is the kit so far? How much was the power pack? Or was it incl...

Big umbrellas used as soft boxes for the soft light, I think it worked quite well what do you think.

Pete's tutorial is all about playing with light to recreate the look of spirograph art work so we want to see your examples of lighting painting. Feel free to have a go at the tutorial and post your results but we'll be happy to see any styles of light painting. If you're new to Photo Month you can find out more about it in the what is Photo Month forum.

Hi Guys, Thank you for your suggestions. I'll pass them on to Mike. His latest article on photographing children went live this week and you can find it here: Beginner's Guide On Photographing Children Thanks, Nikita.

Hey. just taken a trip to Lidl. Those clip on lights are ideal for still life - and for £3.99 what can you say ? ;)

Thanks Kay & Tony - looks like a good tutorial there - will give it a good read later (when not at work!)

I thought it was pretty much covered in the thread title Zatoichi - 'I will make a video tutorial about anything in photoshop.' :D My mistake, many apologies. I retract my request for help in the hope that the member concerned will return.

Not quite PC but it is an old model and sadly Robertsons are no more.

To get the pics to the level/look they need, it's a proper skill from what I can gather - stuff the agent was chatting about was mind boggling really, it'd probably not be cost effective to get me to do it as it'd take forever ;-) Don't get me wrong, I edit all the portrait/landscape/wedding stuff I do - but big projects... you're just a small cog in a wheel really. ww I'd rather be chat...

I never really liked the geotechnics part of my degree I must admit... piles and all that jazz. I guess for most people, a photography course would be about "fun" or gaining "inspiration" - a boost to their hobby, so there's no real "need" to go on courses they don't like. I guess a better question than the inital one would be... For what purpose would you go on a photography cours...

Lets face it your not going to need flash camera kit, a cheap digicam would do.

I agree with Jestertheclown. I used to upload images for votes as I thought was a good way of seeing how good/bad my photos were. Nothing could be further from the truth. I now upload for critique as this is the best place to get feedback on images. Thanks to feedback I received on 1 image of Jamie Archer I was able to go away and have an other go and came back with a far better image.
