Several months ago, I announced that I was going to be doing my very first
paid shoot (head shots of a ballet class), and told you all about what I would
be using.  The feedback I got from you was invaluable.  I took the advice of
several of you ("use something other than just a flash")  and purchased some
simple studio lighting (a two-light setup from Smith-Victor, about $150) and,
armed with your advice and that of my NYI instructors,"went to town."  I used
my Super Program, a Pentax 135mm/f2.8 lens and Portra 400BW film.   Got the
prints back yesterday, and am frankly astounded...I may actually have a future
in this!

I want to thank you all again for your invaluable advice.  Although I get WAY
too many messages from PDML to read every single one of them, I feel I have
become a better photographer through participation in this group.  Have a
Happy Halloween (less'n, o'couse, ya don't want to...)
