Thanks, Stan. Not sure how to get her hand out from the background. I might play around with the vignetting in 6. Photographing dancers is a great way to practice timing. I so want to photograph more dancers. Cheers, Christine Sent from my iPad On Dec 14, 2013, at 6:52 PM, Stan Halpin

That's not strictly the definition here, over 50% of your invoiced income needs to be derived from photography alone to be deemed a pro. On 15 December 2013 14:26, John johnsess...@yahoo.com wrote: If someone will pay you to take photographs you are a professional photographer. On 12/14/2013
