This is absolutely brilliant!

Portrait Competition

Mike — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:00:13 +0000

I received two honours at last nights portrait competition at the Henderson Photographic Society.
I was particularly proud of these images as they are both fine examples of my studio glamour photography work, and it is always very encouraging to receive high marks in a competition that is judged by another full time professional studio portrait photographer whose work I greatly respect and admire.

Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CS5

Mike — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 01:18:48 +0000

Wow, this is so impressive!

This amazing new feature in the upcoming release of Adobe Photoshop CS5 looks as though it would be worth the cost of the upgrade all by itself – and I’m sure there are lots of other great new features on the way to.

Avatar and Pocahontas mashup

Don’t get me wrong, I loved Avatar. I enjoyed the story and it was visually stunning, but as this mashup video shows, boy was it a rip off of Pocahontas.
