[12 piece bucket]

Thanks heaps for the replies.

I'll probably have some additional questions tomorrow (as I'll be indoors due to the persistent heavy rain) when I read the posts in more detail. However, I thought I would make a quick comment regarding setup alignments. It could just be the camera angles (in reference to the DTL view in

), but to me it appears that my feet are closed and my shoulders are open. Am I imagining things or should I get back to the basics and practice my setup alignments?

NOt say you can set up any ole way you want to . . . but I'd say set up is more of a preference in way or if you want to be systmatic about it there are certainly ways to alter your set up depending on the intended shot. . . . . That being said with regards to your set up . . . no glaring issues. IMO it's deeper hand path, center the head and keep it centered . . . get your pivot (hips) working more effectively.
