KISS

Hello lovely, helpful people. Here I am again. This blip wasn't supposed to appear but I went out this morning, for the day, without my camera! I'll try not to be so boring tomorrow.

Your hints and suggestions are much appreciated... more, more....! Thanks, Flick, Xtine, clickychick and hpx for your advice and suggestions and thanks all you thoughtful commenters for your feedback and encouragement.

OK. So, keeping it simple, I have light from the ceiling light, desk lamp (which can be angled) and computer monitor. The background is my wall (most people hate the colour, no idea why...). A small mirror hangs over the monitor and the camera is on a small tripod in front of it. Sometimes I can glimpse what I'm taking now rather than leaving it to good judgement luck. I've discovered a setting that displays grid lines on the camera screen so all in all, progress is being made. I rather like this Heath Robinson set up, I feel I'm becoming an extreme photographer, pushing what I have to the limits. LOL

I've tried the angle shot... but I'm sure you'd rather not see up my nose.

Happy weekend everyone.
