So as you know from my previous post, I had the joy of recently working with this lovely lady in a photoshoot, which looks like it may be proving to provide some very promising Images like this next one 
On another note I have some very interesting news tidbits that I've come accross recently.
- Firstly I've taken the time to update my RSS feed with a variety of blogs from my fave photographers including Joe Mcnally (who has a new book!), Scott Kelby, Strobist and a few others
- Joe Mcnally has a new book! OH JOY! To those of you who have read his previous book the moment it clicks, know the joy of having read what could pretty much be considered his photographic history, taken the joy in analysing his images, reading his wacky stories and just soaking in the value of the inspirational information that this great photographer has to give.
- For those of you who are using off camera strobes, particularly Canon systems know the agonising pain it can be to shoot Manually using pocket wizards or other forms of radio slaves. Wouldnt it be so much simpler if some little techie somewhere decided to invent a system where ETTL information COULD be carried through radio waves? Well feel the pain no more! I have recently discovered the advent of Radio Poppers, nifty little devices that like the pocket wizards, use radio wave's to transmit the flash signal. but not only do they do that, they also transfer ETTL! No more will you have to worry about your flashes having a direct line of sight from your master unit to you slaves, never again will sunlight get in the way of successfully using ETTL! however whilst its still a littel expensive at the moment, I'm eagelry awating the amateur and prosumer version the Radio Popper Jr!
On a further note one of the many meetup groups I have signed up to is doing a london lights night photowalk on the 7th which I am eagerly looking forward too, hope to have new pictures by then!

Photoshop World Day 1 + Pre Con
As usual its taken me a few too many days to post up a new post since my last one, but life has been a bit crazy as of late.
These last two days have had me end up in Orlando, Florida for the Photoshop World Conference. I can only say....its AMAZING! The number of tutorials and classes ive attended (and its only day 1!) are mind boggling! Tomorrow im expecting it to be even more so.
Yesterday I attended a lecture on Photoshoots, hosted by Canon USA. Today this morning I attended the keynote conference where adobe outlined two amazingly new products.
Photoshop Express: A simplified online version of photoshop
and Lightroom V.2.0 Beta! which is now available for free (for 30 days for non lightroom owners) from the Adobe website. (Review comming soon)
Below are pictures of the conference, and of the photoshop guys during the photoshop user tv live filming (which will air in 2 weeks time according to them)
