There are some excellent books out there, everyone has there favourites of course but they have taught me so much and my photography has improved because of them and this site helps too of course.

Actually, I may be up for something along those lines.

Just getting back into Photoshop and I cannot remember how to open images in 16 bit mode by default? I open with ACR and then into CS3 but I am having to change each image manually to 16 bit.
I have tried preferences but cant seem to find anything there.

What is the best thing to use for a white or black or coloured background for studio work. I am talking at home here on a table top or similar for still life. I want to use natural light with a bit of infill and the largest item is likely to be a guitar or similar sized object.
So, paper or cloth? And where can I source such materials?

One thing I was told at a photogtraphy club was that Black mounts make a photo stand out more however in a competition it is current practice to use white or cream so as to allow the image to speak for itself as it were.

But dont you think the edge of the beach looks better coming from the bottom left hand corner?

bforbes - It is difficult to crop out the grass without losing too much of the image, or at least i couldnt find a satisfactory solution.
selectcase - Yes a woman in red perhaps. I should perhaps of reframed that shot when this woman turned up.
Thank you both for your comments.
I quite like this too, but it was taken on a Sigma f4 100-300 at f4.0 @ 320 hand held and is probably not sharp enough.

Had this a while and not to sure about it, I quite like it but perhaps its missing a focal point?
