I have to walk in there tomorrow and shoot half a dozen strangers and hopefully get some decent headshots of them all in the time allowed..... YIKES!

Ah well - learning curve. I'm hoping that my practice sessions in the studio over the last month mean that I'll at least get through this without totally disgracing myself. Here's hoping! Their expectations are, as far as I can tell, very low... but I'd like to over-deliver. :D We'll see.....

Thanks everybody here for the constant encouragement and guidance - there is no way I could even have CONSIDERED doing this without y'all! :thumb

    Thanks!

    Nik, excellent words of advice which were good to read this morning before I started.

    It went very, VERY well. I wound up shooting 4 of the 7 student actors who turned up and am currently ploughing through the 800 or so shots I took eek7.gif You can be certain I'll be posting again later!

    Thanks! Was a lot of fun - sure, I made some mistakes and have a bunch of things I'd do differently next time, but it went better than I could have hoped.

    Thanks for the good thoughts!
