Looking for Models pref based in Scotland for Art Nude Shoots

To hell with the bank balance I decided last month and decided to treat myself to a new camera - as used with my recient shoot with Mary Louise - [link] - a fantastic model to work with, and would heartily recomend booking a shoot with her.

To top the new camera, those nice folkes at Olympus Europe sent me a nice present for buying the E3 - a snazzy ringflash, not sure how much I'll use it but tis a new shiny piece of kit

Ringflashes give really distinctive look - it can be a little cliched but I'd still love to play around with one.

And who'd have thought cheapest place was Jessops of all places. As for the ringflash - nice toy but no way would I pay the ludicrous guide price for it.

Touch pricey, but relativly easy to ebay on

a converter for normal flasguns

Yep, I've seen those, but I don't have a "normal" on camera flash (I've got a very old mid eighties manual flashgun which I occasionally use off camera, but that's it) - so I'd need to budget for something like a 580EX as well, making this a rather expensive proposition.

There are a few studios in London that have ringflashes, I'll just have to hire one of them and try it there.

I have a macro ringflash I've used a few times, not much punch though and the big buggers are way overpriced.

I gave jessops a try when I got my 520, wouldn't budge on price.

How are you liking the big bugger?
