Lord Lichfield Photo Advice

Some may find this link interesting ... a piece on the BBC website about Lord Lichfield's advice on how to make portraits ... I notice that the journalist who tried to emulate the ideas used fill flash for everything though!

In his life Shakespeare spelled his name some 14 different ways - none of which is the same as we use today.

I wonder how His Lordship feels about them spelling his name differently in different areas of the piece.

The old stand-by was always "Say what you like, but get the name right!" Oh deary, deary me.

Antsl,

I was not referring to anything you had done - in fact I had not noticed an error in your contribution. It is the BBC site that has the multiple choice spelling.

Cheers,

SS,

They're emulating some of the photos that have been displayed here, except that instead of "focus", it's spelling optional.
