I hope so anyway! Price £15 Product details Paperback: 326 pages Language: English ISBN-10: 1545379858 ISBN-13: 978-1545379851 Product…

If you prefer the Smooth Fine Art Range, look here…or the textured fine art…

Backgrounds are a real problem at all such events, as are the red and white flags, marshals in high viz jackets, spectators and even parked cars, so it is particularly important to choose a spot where distractions are at a minimum and blank skies are eliminated….not always so easy! Add to that the…
