This is the only way I can get a free site & being a student that's the most
important consideration.

I actually have a separate domain registrar, at least I thought it was -
domainz may be related to my ISP but it presents itself as separate grrrrr.

I've been using a digital camera so I can at least throw away the bad images
and reshoot straight away. My next lot of documenting them will be with the
polariser. I'm using natural light in a hallway with high windows - lots of
reflected diffuse light.I will try a light tent if that doesn't work.

I'm lucky enough to be out of the "baby stage"except as far as grandchildren
goes but they're less stressful anyway!

Thanks for the help
