Yes you guesed it.... 10 minutes before I'm due to do an all day shoot with my great niece Lily I dropped my camera onto a laminated floor. I was putting the cable release on and the camera slipped out of the fitting holding the camera on the tripod.
We still did the shoot with the camera deciding when it would focus as I wasn't able to do it manually. I'm not sure if the problem is with the lens or the camera but looks like I might have to send it away to Sony. I was going to take some flower photos tonight to test it out but I'm too tired now. I'll have to try and give it a go before the weekend.

So how did the shoot go?? Well I realy enjoyed it and I think Lily did to. The added bonus is her mom used to be a beautician so she stayed to do the hair and make up. Some of the photos have turned out really well but there are a few that I may put a soft focus on to try and compensate for them not being sharp.
Lily was brilliant. She gave me some beautiful body shapes and expressions. I will have to try and put up a few.
I can't wait to do another shoot with her once I've sorted the camera out.
Now I know she reads this so...

BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU LIL!!!

Also a big thank you to Paul. Saturday night we were setting up the room to do the shoot on Sunday and found the back drop I was going to use wasn't suitable. So bless him he goes all the way to IKEA at 8pm on the night.... some 20 miles away from us and came back with white curtains and some beautiful purple voille. We draped that round Lil to make it look like a long dress and the look was stunning!

Well when you see these photos I hope you can see beyond the slight out of focus and have patience with me.

Enjoy your week.
