Charlie,

Nice fun set with the strobes.  Not bad for so little time with the strobes.

It is rare that I have my nephew and niece visiting, esp when my oldest son, 
Alex, is back from Cambridge. So I decided to have a go at shooting them 
with a pair of Elinchrom 500 strobes. Definitely not my normal thing. In 
fact, this is the first proper portrait session that I have done with 
lights. So, please forgive me if these are a bit hackneyed. Anyway they were 
all game for a laugh (except my 18 year old daughter, Coco, who won't go 
anywhere near me when i have camera). Lots of Easter Eggs certainly helped 
fuel the cocoa sustained frenzy!

Please feel free to chip in. I've got loads to learn about studio lighting.

Thanks
