Hi guys, A friend of mine has asked me to do some portraits. He wants to use them in a little of his marketing, website, brochures, facebook page etc. He's a director of financial advising company but doesn't want them to be the 'behind the desk with pen' type portraits. what he did say...

Was using my new flash and managed to get a couple of good shots. Just used the camera on Av and the flash on auto (I think) C+C appreciated

It was taken from one of the bridges over the M32 - are you from Stoke Park?

Cheers Cirks, I'll be taking pictures of adult rugby - do need to get permission from the club? I thought I could email the pictures to the club if they're any good. I would have loved that when I was playing - I've ony got one action picture of me playing :'( Pete

Matt, As a lapsed rugby player :'( I'm thinking of popping down to my local club to shoot a game. What equipment do you use? I've got a 450d with 18-55 IS and a 75-300mm f4 - 5.6 III USM Pete

I love picture 1, if he's trying to do a reverse pass in that position then Johnno needs to seriously consider him for an England number 9 slot!!

Here's my attempt!

That's a great idea - yesterday I finished work early and the sun was out so I didn't go out with the camera - maybe I should have!

My 430exII turned up last week and the differnce to the photos is unbelievable. I'll be using this weekend to have another play and maybe get round to reading the manual!! Pete

Matt, I guess it looks like that but by trying the various 'techniques' I reckon I'll learn more - is that such a bad thing? Also by trying these things I may become more interested in them. A chicken and egg situation I guess - ooh another photo idea!! I'm relatively new to DSLR so I...

Having been a member of the forum for a couple of months, with two purcases under the belt, I've noticed that a number of 'typical' photos keep coming up. I've made a note of some of the more common ones but has anyone anymore. I've going to try and have a go at each one to see how I get on...

As I said, I could be wrong about the costs, it was earlier this year and my short/medium/long term memory is shot to bits!! I was very happy with the cost and the quality.

I seem to remember getting the 'artwork' done was about £30 and that's a one off fee and then the cost of each shirt was £5ish quid, but I provided the shirts. I could slightly wrong about the prices but it certainly wasn't a shock when the price came back!

There's a company in Bristol that I've used for embroidering polo shirts. They also print. You can provide the shirts or let them buy them. They are http://www.initiallyyours.co.uk/index.htm . If you decide to use them, ask for Carole Lerway (owner) and mention Pete McBride, you may get a...

Thanks, Looks like I need to go out and find a 430 then! Triggers etc can be ordered at a later date! Pete
