The lighting was set up by the studio techie. I just tried to ensure that the exposure was correct for the image shot and that I captured what I was seeing.

Not having a studio space or studio lighting myself I tend to rent out with lights included. In those cases things are preset (backdrop, light layout with proper ratios, props, other equipment, etc.) I just come in with my camera and lenses, set up the model and go at it. I really would like to learn more so that I can come into a completely bare space, set up everything and know that what I've done is correct. I guess that only comes with practice but practicing in a rented situation is expensive. Luckily I'm getting better with consistency with what my part in the shoot is all about.

It's not so much I fear postings (I know I have room for improvement but I *am* getting better and better with each shoot) but rather I guess I am what would be considered a Part Parttime photographer. That is to say that I'm lucky to get one shoot a month. Mostly this has to do with time available to me (I do have a fulltime job during the week and a life after work) but often it's a matter of first finding willing models (ie. willing to do TFCD) and co-ordinating my schedule with theirs. As long as I shoot outdoors or locational the costs keep reasonable. Moving inside a studio does rachet up the costs and severly limits my shooting numbers.

So I am, as I said, still trying to put together some good images to post here. It's not a matter of quality as quantity. I do have some from earlier times but the quality is suspect.

Thanks for the encouragement though.
