Ah that will teach me to read things properly. Thanks.

But I guess the flash technique will help to start with? Please excuse my ignorance but as I say I am still quite a novice. Any advice on my Nature pictures would also be very welcome as that is the area I most enjoy. Thanks again

Good points. Didnt think of that. Only been at this a year. Got a lot to learn.

Could someone explain how this works please.

Would but I can�t find an email address under Marinas portfolio

If you have time please take a look at this gallery.

In the nature section there are several images with very dark/black

backgrounds. For example the flamingo and emu. How is this achieved?

I have tried to replicate using Photoshop but with rubbish results

compared to these. It� the fine edge detail that is difficult to

deal with! And I can�t believe these are studio shots!

Any Ideas or pointer would be helpful.

Marina if you�re out there Fantastic work!

Thanks in advance

Steve
