Yes
Probably not in the right section but bout of the nerves has got me confused.

Got my first photo club tonight - one that I am hosting/organising, have two models, have double checked my camera bag, my flashes etc

Just hope someone turns up. Had loads of messages today saying people can't make it but hopefully if I only get 4 or 5 people, then we get more time with the models :D

Keep your fingers crossed for me it all goes well

Anyway, off to rugby club now to set up and have a couple of ciders
 
Break a leg, it'll be fine, relax and have a great time.
Dean:)
 
Oh no, can't walk properly as it is without breaking my leg :lol:

Thanks for your good wishes, now I really must get going :lol:
 
Thanks everyone

It went really well, we had 7 turn up which was actually quite a nice number. The mission was to get everyone shooting on manual by the end of the night and we had 5 of us in the end. The models were great and looking at the little screen at the back of my camera, I was pleased with my results and everyone who was there said they were pleased with theirs.

Issues......

- need two studio flash thingies really, we had problems with shadows quite a bit, we actually made a reflector out of trays of bacofoil and that helped
- bigger background, mine is only 8 by 6 and just wasn't big enough
- folding the bleeding background up at the end of the night - when I first got it, I haven't finished explaining to husband how it was done and he managed to do it, end of the dinner and dance at 1am, we managed to do it, could we tonight - nope, managed to stuff it in the boot of the car and I've stuck it in the spare room, anyone got any tips?

Really good night though, everyone had fun and the models have offered to come back.

Will sort my photos out tomorrow and get some on:D
 
Cheers hun, I wasn't sure if you would be able to make it or not, and plus, it's a bit of a trek, we're definitely doing another one though in January

I've had a quick look and am actually really pleased with my photos. The only problem is, I took some in monochrome setting and they've come out with a bit of a green tinge?
 
Cheers Marc.

Just uploading some to my picasa album now. I took 203 photos (a couple of the wall and ceiling though to see if I was setting off the flash so they don't count) and I got 46 that I am very happy with - straight out of the camera. There's a few more which I feel would be okay with a bit of playing. But 46 out of 203 isn't bad at all. Plus the 2 models are sorting out their theatre portfolio so I did some headshot type photos for them and I think (my opinion only) that I got a couple of cracking ones.

Going to bed now really, really happy. Got my confidence back big time tonight.

Will post them tomorrow lunchtime
