| Hey Cherie, looks like Chris provided some valuable info on light. If you can master light, (which I have not yet) than everything else is cake. One point of advice I would give you is make sure the eyes are tack sharp. ALWAYS, point your focal plane on the eyes.

LOL! The cat part! YES! I know all about it! Tonka have you tried moving your subject further from the background? You wouldn't have to worry about your wrinkles as much then. . With the lenses... Your regular lens will make things appear as they are. Your telephoto will make things more compressed (less depth in your image)(I have read that this helps with subjects that might have qualities such as large noses appear better! lol). I am probably not using exact terminology here so bear with me. I have just recently acquired the 100mm macro so am dying to give it a try myself. . Will is absolutely correct, focus on the eyes and then recompose your shot. . Can't wait to go view some of Chris's links. . Oh, I usually shoot in my livingroom... moving around all the furniture... generally with natural light, so I can't help you much on that. That is something I am still working on myself. The last time I did a shoot I shot on my covered porch... it gave a nice diffused light... nothing fancy, but good. . I have used ALL KINDS of methods of hanging the backdrops till I finally did buy the stand... was I ever glad when that day came along! I only own one bonified backdrop... the rest are simply large pieces of cloth... much like your tablecloth. Guess what gets used the most!?!

| Man when that cat gets a bee in her attention bonnet ,,,man,,,everywhere I go she pounces on my hands lol.. I was frustrated because I do not have any room..the way the house is set up is just nuts , I had hoped on expanding it by now but things didnt work ..oye..anyway if I put the subject where I have enough room, the front window is behind them which of course will not work as it is my major source of daylight. Have fun with your macro lens...I tell ya I love it love it love it. I do like the telephoto macro as well but I dont have a chance in heck of using that in my house...I used it outdoors to take pics of my nephew awhile back and I personally liked the results.. Okay , I give up ,, do you use a sheet?, paper bag?, lol, an empty picture frame..hey now there is an idea.... thanks that makes me feel better that someone knows what I am talkin about with the cat LOL....
