OK Lee, you're in.

The next night is Friday 13th March and is to be Julie (you met Julie if you were at the recent Rivington shoot) and Amy (Des and Myra's Grandaughter).

At some future date later in April we will be doing a re-run of Jade and Kyle, but the date for that is not yet finalised.

We have a full list of photographer's for 13th March, could those involved please confirm their attendance or whether they would prefer to be put on the list for the April shoot. When I have this info I will open a new list for the vacancies.

Incidentally, a voluntary contribution of £5 per session would be appreciated from those who can make a contribution to the modelling fees.

Hi John,

I will have to give up my place on Fri 13th March as I will be busy on Thursday 12th and am going on hols on saturday morning, so I will need Friday to get packed etc.

Can you perhaps put me on your next list?

Thanks

I enjoyed tonight - many thanks for organising. Here's one of my favourites - let me know what you think...

[Tracey McGovern]

Wow - love it, blimey, you must have posted this streight from the camera. I've yet to load mine onto my pc, will probably do it tomorrow.

I forgot to ask if everyone could let me have copies either on disc or prints to give to Jade and Kyle, they will be over the moon with any you can spare.

They had a really good time, it was the first time Kyle has done anything like this and he was a bit nervous but I think the both of them did a good job considering they are inexperienced.

I'd like to thank Paul for the help and advice he gave, I've learned a little bit more from tonights shoot.

Best Wishes

Tracey

[Paul Jones]

I'd like to thank Paul for the help and advice he gave, I've learned a little bit more from tonights shoot.

Thanks Tracey. It's nice to feel appreciated.

[Walter Brooks]

Nice shot, but now I would crop left and right to ged rid of the distractions - tattoo and arm behind the hair, then into black and white - think it works better in monochrome ... regards

Tracey - I'll sort out my favourites and send them to you.

There is quite a bit of processing to this image, so not quite straight out of the camera. There's also a little diffuse glow in it, but maybe it's too subtle.

Walter - I agree with the cropping - I did bring it in a little, but maybe it needs a little more. I do like it in colour though.

In my haste to post the image (and get to bed!), I realised afterwards my catch-all thank you did not necessarily acknowledge everybody. So yes, thank you to John/Tracey for organising, Jade and Kyle for modelling and, of course, Paul for his support in the background with lighting tips and also for the lighting/equipment. Hopefully, I've not missed anyone else (I probably have - sorry - but thank you!).

Hi just wanted to add my thanks to everyone who organised last nights event. I thought the models were excellent and did really well - Tracey, thanks for bringing them along, glad they enjoyed it too. Thanks to both John and Paul for the advice and encouragement-it really makes all the difference.

A bit more help please!! - Could someone let me know what size images to send in - I might be brave enough to post one!!

Excellent shot Andy - Kyle and Jade will love it.
