Yes, I live a couple of houses down from the pub (great pub)! Where about's are you?
Small world
Too right, many blasts on that road over the years. In fact use to drive on it daily when I worked in Wetherby.
You still local @Danny?
I only got it quite recently, (hence why I've only just started posting in here...) and I haven't really done any portraits!
This is the ring flash I got: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291124940281?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
It's not great, but it's better than nothing.
I have to say, since I started trying to photograph them, I now notice a lot more bugs etc when out and about now. A bit like spider senses.....
P.S \Please don't start doing macro shots as you'll make me look bad, thanks.
Thanks
Using a Sigma 105mm f/2.8 - I love it. Foolishly I didn't buy the HSM version so I have no choice over manual or auto focus though! (not a problem for macro as I'd always use manual anyway).
Also use a cheapo ringflash usually.

Cheers! I'm sure I will do! Determined to finally spend some time taking pictures rather than just using my phone all the time. So thank you in advance for putting up with my daft questions....
That would actually be really helpful if you don't mind ☺ started having a play with lightroom the other day but probably just made things too over the top. So a helping hand would be very much appreciated.
