How to fix a broken brolly
I’m sure I’m not alone in having a gust o fwind blow over a light stand and snap a brolly pole. No, I thought not. I think it’s a natural part of the learning process, the lesson being taught is that of adding ballast (aka camera bag) to the stand to prevent it.
But, what of the brolly? Is it now confined to the bin? Absolutely not.
When this happened to me the other day, I thought “bother, now what am I going to do?” I needed it for a model shoot the following day, and there was no time to go out and replace it.
The importance of meta…
Yesterday I had an enquiry from a client who wants to buy one of my images. He is very keen to buy, but before doing so had a couple of questions he wanted answers for.
I recognised the image immediately and can even remember taking it at the time. However, in order to give hime the answers he wanted, I needed to find the original in my archive. No mean feat especially when you consider the number of images it contains. For instance, last year alone I shot over 9,500 images and I’m easily going to exceed that this year.
Photoshoots…
I’ve been feeling the need to get some more great portfolio shots lately, particularly as the wedding course is rapidly approaching. Only about 3 weeks away now.
In particular I want to try a few ideas out and do a little experimenting and generally try some stuff out that I can’t really do with a client. After all, they want a safe, specific type of image that may not really find a home on the front page of my website. Shame really as this is the stuff that is great fun for me to shoot and the sitter to pose for.
Proof is in the pudding…?
The proofs I ordered for my advertising artwork arrived a couple of days ago and to be honest I’m a little disappointed with the results. Continue reading Proof is in the pudding…? »
