Hi Geoff,
Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssshhhhhhhhh!!!! Don't threaten to stop showing some of 
the most imaginative and  delightful photography on the LUG!

At least it's illustrating what can be done in a studio shoot rather than 
the "gardens of the world!" Despite the fact I very much enjoy the "Friday 
Flowers!" Most of us know what we can get in the gardens. We also learn 
various lens uses in this available environment in our own garden.

However I don't imagine other than yourself are there any others attempting 
to learn your studio -- strobe lighting effects.We learn what it looks like, 
certainly when using an M camera in a studio setting. With properly used 
strobe units! Along with what I admire some excellent models with their many 
poses and various attire.

None of which I find objectionable in the least.

Please don't let a few objectors spoil it for those of us who still continue 
to learn the various designs of photography!
Thank you.
cheers,
Dr. ted :-)
