@4Firearms whatever do you mean, I'm an innocent retired gentleman :) I use it for chapped lips when I'm shooting out in the cold !! and nice effects in front of the lens :)

love ur videos, im ito still life at the moment. wondering whats your view on DIY equipmet?

[pmcc150]

@thatjellyfish Nothing wrong with the DIY gear , in fact we used to make our own softboxes in the late sixties, they may even have been the first, we kept the technique secret for a while as everyone else was using flash heads with reflectors :)

Why do you ask, have you invented something?

whats the reason for putting stockings over your lens?

@andycanon1 Hi Andy a very good nylon stocking streched over a lens can give some great "hollywood star" diffusion very difficult to create after the shot is done on photoshop as the stocking can cause tiny invisible but nice stars on the highlights, giving a heavenly effect.

Some poor child starving in Africa would have been happy to eat that egg. He's hungry now.

@pianoman6639 Many thanks for all the comments, You seem to be my biggest fan :)

I'll be starting courses in Brittany ,if I can sell up here, I'm prepared to do courses here as well but not outside photography as the countryside isn't very interesting around here in Toulouse. Thanks again.
