omg how i agree with that.

I tried a specialist cleaner and a pressure washer...but what worked best was strong bleach from Wilko. I applied it liberally.....waited five minutes, scrubbed it with a hard bristle garden broom. Then hosed it down. Looks good and it was both cheap, and quick to do.

I agree. Good notes and good pictures.

D810 about to be replaced.. though still the best camera I've used, D750 is good & is my 2nd body..

Must admit I with I'd waited a few months so I could consider the D500 - when I bought my D750.. that wold have been a tough decision.. though I do like the shallow DOF provided by FF.. & 24mp over 20mp

I've just come across this thread, but am glad to see that it's not just me that has seen a drastic decline in available models. I started here a few years ago, and had several excellent photo sessions with some lovely models each yaer - but I haven't had one now for about two years or more. I don't know why models are still shown when they haven't been on the site for years - up to seven years at the last count.

Anyone??

Can you send my photos?

Shame it's gone quiet on here, I really like this site.....
Anyway, welcome MissHorror

It's going to depend on your personal set up, a DAS is not so effective for me as I'm working off a couple of Mac's and the ability to share is priceless. Definitely consider a RAID system, if you go RAID 5, you're not giving up 50% of your storage, but one drive, so 4 x 4TB will give you 12TB of storage with 4TB reserved for fall over. Check out the Synology RAID calculator and you can play around with different scenarios. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator

Cost is going to be another factor, you're paying more for a NAS, but in terms of flexibility, they do so much more than a DAS. Budget permitting I'd go with Synology or QNAP

Goodsync's what we use at work between two offices.

For my own needs I use Syncback Pro... they're all much of a muchness.

Probably one of my friends shot with him regular despite me telling her not too but she said he was fine n they got on well.. But who am I to judge other people's decisions xx

Hi Alex. Welcome onboard. Apologies its a little quiet here at the moment. In terms of feedback on your profile The images are enough to see your figure and face, which is a good start. What they do not really show is modelling ability. That may be an issue with photographers who do not have the experience to guide models into poses.

I would fine some profiles of models that are a similar build who have poses you think work then start practicing in front of a mirror until you have a core set of poses you know you can pull off well. Then start replacing images with more contemporary work. I suspect a few may be the shots by your dad as they look like what I would have shot 30 years ago. Like I say server the purpose but need replacing when you can

Brings new meaning to "well, I have to run" lol... ok i jest, sorry, I hear putting healthy poop in there can help - saw it once on trust me im a doctor.

Damn our bodies and damn medical science.

If you use electricity for any kind of heat it's expensive. Other than that just enjoy life.

I looked for "Application frame" but no sign anywhere in CS3 or Mac OS Sierra.. I think this is the way PS is supposed to work but it would be good to have an option. Thanks for your efforts.

Profoto ringflash with 7B powerpack and flash head, cost over £3250 new,  had very little use and in very good condition, probably preferable to collect or be delivered from Lincolnshire, can email photos if required, asking £950 ono

Iv'e just redesigned my site from scratch.. made it responsive & loads of admin in the background.. took forever & it's a very simple site: no data base, no logins, no forums.. just text & photos I'd hate to think how long a more complicated site redesign would take..

As for busy.. I agree PP is in a good place at the moment ( though I just deleted my account ).. though even there quality of user experience varies.. Interested to see the upgrades & with any luck it will breathe new life back into the place..

Ok. Honest opinion from a male (sorry!)

Your images look good, but there's no diversity, they're all very similar. As Copperbronze says, you haven't done anything for a few years. I wouldn't go as far to say they're not relevant but you could do with some more recent images - even a temporary selfie or two, to give photographers an idea of what you look like now.

I agree a few TF shoots are in order for a spot of recent, diverse images.

Also, your bio states that you only work up to implied nude, yet all your pics are nude or topless. Maybe you should revise that line to something like "no longer wishing to do nude photography" or something like that?

Why don't you feel your current images are good enough?

That's a far cry from a BBC technology documentary I saw some years ago which looked at some new compact digital camera in which Kate Humble claimed that it's better quality than film simply because it was digital (yes, I scratched my head at the time too)

Hi yes, I have gathered that too, many thanks for reply...and I now have a photographer who can now help me if the occasion arises again..any thank

Bye xx

Yeah i've heard this type of talk first hand at my old studio a few times. One photographer's dying wish was to work with this one model who was attending for a booked shoot - she came out of the session, had a quick chat with him, and when he left, that was the response... the guy passed on 2 weeks later, Colin, lovely bloke too, RIP . Such a shame. Mainly a landscape chap but wanted to have a crack at doing a model shoot.

With judgemental types, you will always waste your time unless you look like Remmington Steele and drive a fancy car. Best avoided imho, not worth the stress or mental scarring.

Read the models feed on FB or Twitter if they have one, or forum posts, if they appear to be constantly whining, complaining, or criticising - might pay to think twice before you book.

Only last week Olympus announced they're no longer making 4/3 lenses. They're concentrating their efforts on Micro 4/3 now.

Went today and parted with more money than I had planned... picked up a nice new tripod, Manfrotto camera slider, speedlite diffuser and sensor cleaning kit (as I fancied giving it a go for the first time). I now have a completely dust free sensor, so no trips to the camera shop required.

I also note a rather appalling drone demonstration near the food area - the pilot managed to entangle the drone in the netting, managed to shake it loose but failed to catch it as it smashed into three pieces on the floor.

The audience soon dispersed after that.

Have used Brian Chapman in the past to repair and service Bowens kit so may well be worth contacting to see if he can do things a lot cheaper
