What made you feel good today

[skellum]

Well done Delamanda..   I got mine a few years ago at the HQ in Bath. Quite a nerve racking experience and my assesment didn't come up untill mid afternoon after which I had to drive all the way back to Preston but I had a good night in the pub later.
Was Margaret Salisbury one of the judges on the day.  Also it would be nice to see what you submitted on here if possible......

Something made me feel good yesterday (so hope it's still ok to post it here)  - I got my LRPS  ,

It made me feel so good that I downed quite a lot of champagne so don't feel too good today ...

Well done Del. 

Suppose, we will have to call you sir now! 

[Delamanda]

Thanks all! 

@Dave:  I have just uploaded them - I tried to put them in an album but can't work out how to rename it, so they're somewhere here in "New Album".  I'm not sure what order they've come out in, so here's the hanging plan:


@Oldboy - Madam will do nicely!!

Well done Del - great stuff! 

[Mick]

Thanks all!  

@Dave:  I have just uploaded them - I tried to put them in an album but can't work out how to rename it, so they're somewhere here in "New Album".  I'm not sure what order they've come out in, so here's the hanging plan:

Go to your Album via Gallery / User Galleries / Click the first letter of your user name /  Choose your album.  Click properties, and you should see where to change the name. / click update album.

Or even easier, look at the latest images block on the front page, and at the bottom of it you should see a link "My Gallery"

Finally and easier still.  Click the link to your gallery that I just added to your signature. 

And, Congratulations on your LRPS status Delmanda.

Congratulations!  Nice panel.  Hmm, maybe I should try for a qualification some time....

Just me and Rose had a long weekend in Devon, just chilling eating walking and chatting. The weather wasn't great but we had a real good time and the house was still standing when we got back

   Well done Del. I may just have a go at that.

        Anyway, WMMFGT.
                                    Motorhead's "People" just this minute mailed me with accreditation to photograph the show in Derby.
                                    The show starts in two hours time!

Recharging the batteries. Glad you had time to spend together without the family getting in the way.

My Mac arrived a day early!! Thank goodness the mutts are excitable and noisy as I didn't hear the door bell ring. I managed to get to it before the delivery driver drove off.

WMMFGT?  Feedback from yesterday's client

It was an important job for me.  Every year this London based bridal wholesaler packs up all their dresses, drives up to Birmingham and spends a whole day in a studio with a photographer they have used for years.  I've spent about 3 months persuading them that I could do a better job.  To win the business I had to make a couple of compromises.

So.....we had 1 model, no wardrobe stylist, a small studio and 21 dresses to shoot in a day.  (8 sets is considered a tough day's work).  We started at 9 with hair and makeup.  By 2:30 I'd shot 7......  Then we kicked it up a notch.......   At 5:15 everyone apart from me was packed and out the door.  21 dresses, 920 frames and a very very happy client.  They are already talking about next year.  (I was lying on the floor exhausted.)

Phew.

Thanks - but that's very unlikely.  Client is London based.  London is a couple of hours closer to me.  Really no reason why we'd go to Birmingham (and I don't understand why they ever did).

Stats of the last look make interesting reading (if you're into that kind of thing).  First shot fired at 16:28, last at 17:09 (yeah 9 mins into overtime).  In 43 minutes we did 253 shots and 6 changes.  Model's dad was there (she's 19 and came from Wales) so during each of the changes he and I went upstairs to the chill zone while the girls changed her in the shoot area.  So yeah, I ran up and down stairs 6 times too.
