Ah yes, thanks for that Max. I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it often in the future, you truly are one of the coolest guys with the most diverse and interesting background that I've ever seen.

Thanks for the welcome.

Ta. That was the wife's idea. As I was setting up the gear on the dining room table (where I take my shots) and placing the piece of white cardboard curved up against a chair back (that I use for a background) she, with a bemused smile on her face, said "why don't you use some of that gold or silver cardboard?" We'd got some for Bailey my grandson to use for cutting things out and pasting. So I got some and gave it a go. At first I thought it would be too bright but it worked fine...It also went well for the mood of the day, as it did surprisingly turn into a 'floating on a calm lake of liquid mercury' kind of day...:)
