well tonight is the night.. band rehersal and photo shoot withe me as snapper!! many thanks for the advice given, if anyone else has any words of wisdom then please feel free to enlighten me.

no tripod yet.. on the to buy list. the camera does have a self timer though.. may have to improvise with a chair or summut if i use it.. the place is pretty smart inside for rehersal rooms... no sticky carpets etc.. although outside is a bit more 'urban' may try a group shot outside the doors...

hi tom. like those pics. no, were not metal... more indie rock. ok so up the iso seems to be the key. so... again maybe a daft question but should i choose app priority or shutter? or neither?.... bearing in mind i will need to had the camera over to one of the lads for my moment/s in front of it?

thanks matt.... also the room isnt the biggest and we are a 5 peice... but there is space to move about,, and have been thinking of getting some quirky angels.. standing on a chair, through the drum kit etc.. as im guitarist as well will need to pass the camera to one of the lads to take a few...

well here is my first of probably many asks for advice.. am doing a bit of a photo session with my band at rehersal on monday night. the pics will hopefully be used for a bit of promo material if they are good enough.... he says hopefully!!!..... all ill have with me is the nikon 3100 and kit...

hi again.. go to the home page of the blog and click the tutorial link on the right hand side,i think its on page 2 there is a section on doing a vintage motorcycle poster, this should give you a lot of step by step advice in cutting out and using layers etc.. as for the line up background...

hi im from a graphics background and there are lots of tutorials on line that can help.. one that i use quite a lot is blog.spoongraphics.co.uk granted this is not really based on strictly photography but the principles would be the same i think. he has lots of free tutorials on there about...

having been a mac user since leaving art college.... (cough) years ago, and from a graphic design background i have to say the mac wins hands down in all areas. apart from price!! but for me is a small price to pay for the kit you get. have a 21'' imac and cant say i have ever had any issues...

top work.. like the others say... you look for the cloning knowing its been done.. but if you didnt know, would be hard to notice.

love those.. the sunsets are amazing.. having just joined and recently purchasing a D3100, these are a real boost to what the camera can acheive and if me and the wife can get shots anywhere near as good we will be very happy snappers!! :-)
