It’s nearly the last week of my portrait photography course at St Martins.  It’s a 10 week course but I can’t go to the last one so just one to go.  

Here is the best of the results tonight:

Most of the others were shooting on the roof tonight.  I would have loved to have joined them but I have a dodgy cold so I didn’t think it was the wisest thing ever and stayed in the studio. They’d taken most of the lights and stuff up with them so that was a pain, and we still don’t have enough infrared triggers (as Tony pointed out, a bit odd considering it’s supposed to be the best art school in the country!).  

So… that’s nearly it on the formal education front (for now)… I will evaluate at the end of the course but I’m thinking it was good and I’ve learned a bit, but mostly from Tony, Jenny, books, and from playing with the lights.  I’d still be hard pushed to talk to you hugely sensibly about f stops and shutter speeds, and that’s not so good!
