Today we had the challenge of photographing an MP3 player. The challenge in this lies in the fact that the front of the unit is mirror finished and curved so no matter what angle you shoot it from, you always get a reflection back from the camera. The trick, some pretty fancy whiteboard work and a whole lot of trial and error… and here it a shiny mp3 player… now i just have to do the retouching as you will see a finger print if you look above the play button on the top rim and Ike in the left corner (Hi Ike)… Macro photography retouching hell!

My old friend Andre has a new website http://www.thepetographer.biz

Anyways so clicking thru the galleries i came across this picture of good old groover… Rest his soul…

Today we got two new wheelie Pelican cases. Well actually they are bloody good China copies, but youd not know it by looking at them, and they were a third the price of the real buggers. Still not cheep though, but much more affordable. Lets see if they last the 15 years of Ikes Pelicans?

I got this one for the cameras and a bigger one for the Visatech lights… all the key equipment is now HARDCASED!

ahem…

and oh look theres a dog… who could that be?

I was bored while waiting for a portrait client to come into the studio so I shot Daisy my favorite subject… I think I need to start a separate blog just for Daisy, the most photographed dog on the internet…

Well here they are more cute liuliu photos…

With an ever increasing number of jobs being done in Macau I just had a quick look to see what the available domain options might be and low and behold I am now the happy new owner of http://macauphotographers.com/

Which I’ve mirrored onto this site. I’d like to take the time to be able to develop a new site for this domain, but like so many other projects it will just have to get in line…
