Katie Price flashing with her ipod range

I had an unusually early start (for me) last friday - 20th August. Katie Price launched her iPod range and the photocall was in Parsons Green. After a usual wait past the published start time, Katie Price arrived saying "I've got them out today". She obviously knows what she needs to do to get her picture used and ultimately promote her new ipod range.

Tech-Info:- As a photographer I made an error to start with. I left my flash on auto. With the bright reflective outfit, the camera thought the scene was too bright, therefore didn't emit the amount of flash required to light the scene properly. Luckily shooting in RAW and using Aperture 3 I can recover quite a lot. However, with the large number of press photographers attending, I caught someone elses flash with provided enough light for me and a better lit picture. I soon changed my flash to the settings I needed once the podium was moved. We were quite a distance from her. With full length shots being taken on a 70-200mm lens. This also used up quite a bit of flash power.

As usual, All pictures are taken by myself including the pictures the first link (clicking on the picture) takes you too. They are all available for commercial and probably individual blog use via Famous pictures.

Big Brother Semi-Final and Final Josie Gibson wins

Mathew Firsht and Davina McCall
As many followers of the show will know the winner of Big Brother is Josie Gibson. I'm sure you have all seen pictures in the news by now. It is my aim to show you something different. At all the shows I have been to in the last few series there is always a warm up guy, Mathew Firsht. Mostly he tells the same stories and jokes each week. He does a great job of getting the crowd going. Rarely we see him with Davina McCall, as shown in the shoot to the right. Clicking on the picture will take you to the full gallery of pictures from the Big Brother Semi Final.


Camera Operator
Lastly from the final show. I've always noticed a few camera operators up high. They can't go anywhere once the show starts, if it rains tough. So below one of the many camera crew that bring you Big Brother. Finally a picture from the Final of Big Brother; Josie Gibson, the winner.
