More photography work

[UKBob]

Yay!

Ive got a client who wants 12 dishes of food photographed, which I'll be cooking and shooting myself, all part of a website package deal


And a wedding to go to next year, as a secondary candid photographer. Groom has already agreed to sign a model release, just waiting to hear what the bride has to say about me selling their pics via the stock websites

Have your downloads dropped over the last fews days, possibly due to the SS server?

Shhh, keep it down, or we're gonna get rumbled again!

The SS server was absolutely terrible last week. Its seems to be fine for me this week though, although yesterday was my lowest week-day sales day so far this month, with a mere 26 sales

I'm expecting to have some pictures in a book in the new year ;-)

Author/Publisher found them online and contacted via email, totally out of the blue, but interesting all the same ;-)

Really good. Im enjoying it, and my photoshop skills are still coming along slowly too. You'll love the 30d, its a cracking camera

I made this tonight. Spot the hamburger and win free fries and a large coke.


When are you getting yours old chum?

Book is apparently a glossy about cool places/campsites/outdoors stuff in scotland.

They were looking for some images from the Grandtully area of the Tay where there are fequent kayaking/canoe competitions, recreational stuff, and found a set I took exactly there . . .

example :



I took a reasonable number of pics, some nice ones, they are with the publisher.

I guess we'll see what ultimately happens as I'm a sceptical person . . . but the conversation so far has been quite positive.
