Kevin mate,
there's all kinds I could go on about acting clever involving 'Bokeh'.. (DOF..)
truth is mate, I dont know.. I just point.. and shoot...
maybe I've got my technique right and dont know exactly what the magic formula is..
if there is any.

Something works.. and I dont want to know what in case I try and change it..
I'll just plod on pointing and clicking...
(Oh, and make em laugh.. it puts people at ease.. be yourself, never look down on people.. thats one thing I learnt very early... I decided to take the opposite stuck up attitude I saw a few professional photographers take...never to s.lag anybody off and act big time.. treat people with respect... not that I'd ever treat people like sh.ite anyway... but a particular episode will always stay with me......my exposure OK these days.. SDK..?..)


Cheers Kev mate..


Gerard.
