In my mind it would depend on what you want out of photography.

For me, I'm not looking for income ( let's face it, I'd be in the poor house pretty quickly! ), so I'd be happy with credit for the images and a written understanding that I could have free rein to photograph in the cathedral in future.
If you would normally look for financial gain, then Matt's solution seems fair to me.

A lovely set Bob!
Hard to choose a favourite. I suppose number 3 does the least for me.
I do, I suppose, particularly like the water jets, but then again, the sillouette of your daughter is just exquisitte.[sp?]

I think number 3 is excellent. I assume it's ripples on the water surface causing the bands of light on the rocks? either way it looks great to me

Yep, it is the light on the surface of the water.
I had Don's advice in mind about out of focus shos and bokeh. I tried this out of focus, but it didn't work. Luckily, I also shot one in focus as well, as I really like it.

Had a few days away in Kirkby Lonsdale, sandwiched between the Lake District national park and the Yorkshire Dales. A lovely part of the country.

Here's some imges I took whilst there. C&C please.

YOu are being asked to provide images for a business. THat' to me, makes you a "professional", at least in this instance.

Not to start the age old debate, just an observation.

A friend with whom I used to work, but then lost touch with, appeared again today.
I asked how he was getting on with his photography and he said he'd not long changed his kit. He used to have a Canon EOS40D(?) ( or something like that). Anyhow, he wanted something smaller so bought a Samsung GX10(?) ( I must pay attention to model numbers ) and liked it so much he sold the Canon.

So, seeing as it is almost a Pentax, I pointed him our way

However if possible I would revisit and shoot again from differing angles.
That was the best piece of advice I was ever given.

Time to hang up the camera and take up topless modelling!

Emily ( my daughter ), was presented with an award at school last night. There was I, aisle seat so I had a clear view. All lined up, test shots taken for exposure: I was ready!

Then, the professor giving the awards moved slightly to her right. No big deal, I could still shoot through a gap and get waist up. Phew!
Emily strolls ups up, shakes hands with the Prof and just as I release the shutter, the previous winner walks straight in front of me. Just a pic of a blurred school blazer! DOH!

So, not the end of the world. I accost the headmistress at the end of proceedings and ask can I shoot her presenting the certificate to Emily. No problem she says. But, as everyone is leaving, the area full of people, and Mrs Ted is losing patience at this point. Did my best to quickly get a shot, but managed to have someone walk across the background and cut off the bottom of the certificate! Double DOH!!!
