They're great because they just spend their entire life nibbling food and being cute

Yeah :/ Yesterday was stupidly hectic and a client needed the images asap. I spent the evening clearing my HD so I could then do the work. I have the image but I'm off on another shoot in a few minutes so it'll be up later today.

Satuday 5th July



Not really a great image, but it was a busy day. Initially it was to be a 5am start as the Grand Princess came in, but I decided to skip that. Instead I got there for about 10:30am. I tried to get some decent shots of the clipper race but with the 4th largest cruise ship in the world blocking my view it was hard. Eventually the Lord Mayor arrived and I was able to get the shots I was hired for. An exchange of plaques between him and the Captain of the ship. The view is incredible from there. A huge panoramic view from the bridge of the ship. I was on the 14th floor looking right at the 3 graces. Not often you get to see Liverpool from that perspective. Expect something good when I get a moment Annoyingly I had to skip lunch and a tour with the captain and Lord Mayor because of another shoot.

After I took a break and had a quick bite to eat. A bag of bbq hula hoops and a lucozade drink. Quickly checked my email on my terribly useless phone and headed off for my 2nd shoot. PR shots of a cabaret taking place on Monday. Looks to be pretty cool too. I was finished by 6pm and headed home. "Should I get a McDonalds? I am starving and only really had hula hoops to eat." I man'd up and decided to get some brown toast and rice krispies. Typically I noticed that I had about 2gb free and 6gb of shots taken. There was nothing to quickly delete so I had to sort through old work and prune the directories in Lightroom. That took time. Eventually I could get to work. The cabaret client needed the shots asap so I had to get them all done by Sunday. I really need a D3. The noise was bad, even in black and white. Canon better launch a D3 beating 5Dm2 this year. I tried some colour shots but the colour noise was just nasty. Not so bad for web usage but still, I was annoyed.

By 2am I was exhausted and not finished. I knew that I would have a few hours spare in the morning so I went to bed.

Sunday 6th July



Work work work. I got up early and finished the work I had from Saturday. Quick upload and email then I was off to document the Field of Women in Liverpool. 10,000 women taking up the shape of 'Lucy' to show their support in the fight against breast cancer. Only maybe 2,000 turned up. I guess it was understandable given the thunderstorm. Despite the turnout they managed to pull off a really impressive giant woman at Liverpool cricket club. I got soaked, then baked, then soaked again. Crazy weather. I got in around 4ish and set to work clearing some more HD space, and then going through some of the shots. By around 6pm I fell asleep and awoke just before Top Gear. I finished rating the shots and I still have to process them. They're currently black and white, and while some look great they really need colour due to the pink outfits.

I got in 2hrs ago after a shoot. I have 700mb free on my HD to work with. Email screwed up and a client didn't get their images on time. I've got to rework a chapter on the HDR book as its not right. I've got to check through the preview on the 'Port of Culture' book. I've got to get through todays shoot asap as they need images for press quickly. Thats on top of the rest of the work I have to do. Its going to be a long night. *sigh*
