Hi Preston,

Thanks so much for your quick reply. (I hugely admire your work by the way )

It's all happened very quickly, been asked over the weekend and now starting to prepare.

1, lens choice limited to my kit lens which is probably not nearly fast enough (18 - 70mm f3.5 /4.5)
2,I have shot and processed in raw before.(worry about space this takes on my cards though as I will be taking many many photos from what I can gather!!!))
3, I do intend to eventually get trained up and purchase some studio lighting. Up until now I have relied on natural window light and have been pleased with the results but very limited by this.
4, The judges come to the bench
5, The end result is to get some half decent photos for the Somali cat club web site.

Thanks Preston
