Photos done

I don’t do many photoshoots, but I did one last week.
It’s been a bit of a mission, and more work than I expected, but the images are finally all edited and ready to go.

It’s a good feeling.

As ever, I’ve learned a lot about taking photos and editing photos, and how the two processes can be better aligned – when I stop learning, I stop photography – but actually, I’m really happy with the results.

Now, the anxious wait until the client (hopefully) likes them too.

Because many of the shots are of people, I can’t share them on here. But part of any event is capturing the ambience and the vibe, and the view of the mountains in the sunset wowed many of the crowd that evening, and it was definitely worth capturing, because that will be a part of many people’s memories.

I think I can share one of those images here.

“Ooh. Look how he’s almost lined the dying tree up with the mountain peaks.”

Yeah, that’s just raw, natural talent right there.

#Blessed.

But these pics aren’t going to get themselves onto the client’s desk. I still have to do that bit.

So let’s go. Because today is going to be a busy, busy day.

Presentation is important

I really, really don’t want to get into a discussion about the goodity or the baditude of McDonald’s here, but I do recall that scene from Falling Down and I did admire the honesty in this video from their Canadian Marketing people:

And yes, I have to admit that while both of those burgers got my salivary glands working overtime, the one with the carefully-piped ketchup was definitely the more tempting.

I have decided that I want carefully-piped ketchup on all my burgers from now on.
