Or if it all gets too much just send him round to me and I will try to find out for you.

And make sure the flash is on too!!! It wasn't when my kid took a photo of Vale signing the bottom of my back for me....so the photo was almost impossible to make out.

But the memory will be with you always - nobody can take that away from you .
(It is just a bit of a pain for the rest of us who weren't there and didn't get to see - bearing this in mind what did he get for his birthday - a leaflet on how to use a camera with the bit about the flash clearly highlighted?)

I never thought of that Jr. Maybe I should make him do a night school course in photography or something!!!

I can manage that!!

I have been thinking - don't totally give up on that photo - have you tried messing about with the "levels" in PhotoShop? I have found it amazing what you can find in what just looks like a blank dark photo when you adjust the levels things appear just like magic. It is never going to be an award-winning pic (except just for the content) but would still be worth it.

And I am not sure if the evening classes will work - I have done so many but it still doesn't help you remember the basics - the main one being having your camera with you and ready for action ALL the time. Did I get any photos when the man crashed into the back of my car? No...I was upset for Gods sake and didn't really feel like wondering if the light was right, which angle would be best, which lens to use...I just wanted to strangle the other driver!

I can do it with no effort whatsoever and it looks really natural

Thats what I meant too!!

Just dye your hair blonde & you'd look the part too....

sorry, couldn't help myself

But I dye it brunette so I'll look smart!!
