I was doing some corporate lighting last night and took my camera along as a favour. If I make some additional money out of taking some nice pictures, then bonus to me. Either way, you get to see a few of them for free!

It was for the celebration of opening a new building for a rather large food company. We lit the front of the building from outside and did a load more lighting inside the main atrium. All in all it looked pretty nice.

Another one of my photos from the US this October. This one is was taken in a dried up Mirror Lake bed just underneath Half Dome in Yosemite.

Came across a good free plugin for Aperture this afternoon whilst working out watermarks for posting images here. It’s called BorderFX and it allows you to create watermarks outside of the actual image, in the border. I’ve been searching for something like this for a while, as it’s never too nice to overlay a watermark on an image.

You can do more than just watermark or overlay text, such as create borders and framing, crop and resize and also overlay other meta data. As an example of the border and text overlay, here’s another photo from our trip to the US.

I’ve scrapped my photoblog and moved it in over here. That means periodically you’ll be getting some photos posted. To start the ball rolling I’m going to post some of the photos from our trip to the USA this October. Here’s one of El Capitan with Half Dome in the background. Tim and I have aspirations that we’ll climb both of these one day.
