Field Notes - part 2

Here, as mentioned earlier, are some test shots from tying out the so called light on a stick. First one taken in a Starbucks and the rest outside at night as the wee man tries out his new Halloween mask. Looking forward to using this rig in and around Tokyo night locations.

Big Day on the Photo Editing Front

It's been a big day today, all in front of the computer. Not such a chore now with my new-ish 27 inch iMac - yay for technology!

Mostly web site maintenance and updates, plus some repeat work for a returning client and also some photo editing work on a back catalogue. 

Here's one edit, all done in Capture One and Lightroom. Perfect subject. Easy and amazing to work with. Great location too, as these were environmental portraits in a small engineering firm. All sorts of interesting machines, cool shadows and shafts of light.

Five weeks of telecommuting. Tougher than I thought it would be. Some say hard work is its own reward. Bollocks - decided to make my own. #chocolatecake #baking
