Thank you gWaps, so nice of you to say so. Your childhood photo looks so sweet and your facial features haven't changed much at all, can still see you there! A member of the school camera club took the photo sitting on a desk ....... don't know what make/ model it was and don't want to sound "blonde" by saying it was a big black one! Being ignorant about cameras, I'm interested to hear how you know it is an SLR camera?

Thank you also for the rep, its very much appreciated

Thanks Rosie I wasn't expecting that

It's good to sound 'blonde' every now and then Rosie. .A definite icebreaker

It's the focusing ..in your example, your background is out of focus while you are in. ..normally instants put everything in focus. .it's a compromise. .nowadays SLR's are as simply to use as the instamatics of yesteryear.
