Good suggestions - lets see how I got on with Mod 10 first. I wish I had waited a few weeks before sending it as I now have a much betters set of prints. Still I was able to do my own thing over the holidays - so Lisa your absolutely correct in needing some free time.
Well my camera is ok but the zoom lens feels a bit "crunchy". Not sure it was worth the spuds! I might have found a niche with the cows - I photographed some more at the weekend - for another farmer who had seen the previous images. Still muddy and cold but I stayed on my feet this time.
