One of the nicer Xmas traditions/excuse to dress up is the Xmas card. So for several years I have found a skimpy Xmas costume and taken some pics by the Xmas tree. Sadly last year could not which was not nice at all as I recycled an old pic. Yesterday I managed to do the shoot for this year. sadly the new flash units have a loud bleep when charged which really put me off though they synced nicely with the camera. The other mains flash refused to sync so it was back to the battery flash through a white umbrella. Unfortuntely the exposure never really got right and the flash ate 4 batteries after 150 shots. The problem is its reinventing the wheel all the time, so if I could just get more practise I would be better ad quicker but I am not. Did not get the policewoman or Lara Croft look done either. Did get a bit of camming in which is always fun. Reallywonder about the camera sometimes, the pic quality should be better. On the plus side there is at lwast 1 day when I should be alone so might be able to squeeze in another session.
It may have been the wide angle lens but the face looked fatter and all in all it was not the success I was hoping for. Will have 3 definite pics to upload but thats not ideal. The dress is actually Ann Summers. Had hoped to look like a young Julie Christie but reasonably happy with the look.
