That sort of hustle and bustle I could put up with. You are really lucky waking up to that view.

And there's me thinking all I had to do was aim my reflector in the right direction and the only choice was which side of the reflector to use.

Yep...still got a lot to learn

Mrs looks after that stuff. Would have liked a garden but budget wouldn't stretch that far. So, it was either a decent terraced house with no garden, or a little box with a garden. Hey, with UK summers, we figured the roof would be better

You could hang a backdrop on the washing line Father Ted and sit her in front
That's a good idea! Didn't think of that.
Then I could use some of the potted plants as props!

Sit her as far away from the backgound as you can, and use a wide aperture to throw it out of focus. Your 50mm at 1:1.7 would be ideal. In fact, you might find 1:2 or 1:2.8 would be better because at 1:1.7 the DOF is so limited that accurate focussing is critical.

I thought of that, but figured the furniture would still be there, just out of focus. Would the shorter DoF be enough to significantly disguise furniture 2m behind the subject?

I agree with Gwyn. Change of angle of polarizer.

They might lock the gates here, but I'll take a drive up and look. The front entrance doesn't look to have a gate on it...if memory serves me right.

Garden...all concrete

Backdrop...Yep, I'm looking into that and will probably end up going that way.

In the street...she might feel a little conspicuous being the only girl in uniform during the holidays. But I might take her up to the school. 'Tis an idea

Thanks guys.
