Wow, How did I miss this post. Thanks Philco. Good stuff here especially for us with only a couple of sessions under our belt. Appreciate the time you spent to post it.

Now if I can only find some beachfront property in South Arkansas to try this out on my next e-session.

now that is what I am thinking! Tennessee beachfront... it does exist but it is a little more like a creek/river and it is pretty muddy! the general principles are definitely right on though! and can be adapted to a ... field/cliff/Other.

LOL, Yep. If a catfish pond can substitute as a beach then I got it made. At least you got the beautiful Smokey Mountains surrounding you and we have .....well, lots of cow pastures! Hey is Rock City still open??

Yup, cow pastures work you can even get them to look like farmers and climb on a tractor, or what about the couples 'first' cow tipping together.

Good point about the Smokeys... very good scenes there. I never have been to rock city... but it looks like it is still attracting people with P&S's.

Thanks so much for posting pictures along with the descriptions. I thought it was especially helpful to talk about the primes with 1.X and then show what a difference it can make. Great job!!
Another vote for a STICKY!!!!!
