A Sale and an “Alamy Xphoto Challenge”

Filed under: General — admin @ 12:05 pm

I spoke awhile ago about donating the proceeds of my next stock sale to CWS. Well just checked our sales page and we had a nice $402.58 sale. This one we are gonna keep under our hat. But needless to say sometime in Februrary or March CWS London will get a cheque. anyways I digress.

Seasons Greetings CWS

as a gesture of goodwill this festive season, those of a more fortunate nature, what a good idea to donate the proceeds of your next Alamy Stock sale to your favorite charity. We could make this an annual event.

Hum…

Hong Kong Best Dinner – Food Photography for Orange Tree Restaurant

Filed under: General — admin @ 8:06 am

Today we did some new food images for Pieter at Orange Tree Restaurant. As Pieter has always been very good to us and we value our relationship with him. Today we pulled out all the stops to make sure we created some sumptuous images to do justice to the amazingly tasty dishes.  We borrowed a prime 100mm F2.8 L Canon Lens from our friend Ike. This lens makes my mouth water. The detail. Well the proof is in the puddin… as they say. Now if these shots get your mouth watering head on over to the Orange Tree Restaurant and tell em’ Sean sent ya’…

The perfect dinner starts with a salad…

followed by some BitteBallen, one of those crazy Dutch dishes that is just divine…

and since your having a nice romantic dinner you of course order two starters… the prawns are actually one of the mains, but split between two they make a perfect starter…

and no meal is complete without a juicy steak…

my really favorite dish the Lamb Roulaide shot did not come out so special so we are sticking with the old one for now…

The best part of doing food photography is that once all the shots are done the steak and prawns go back to the kitchen for a proper cooking and then arrive on a plate in front of us with a nice glass of wine… Thanks Pieter…

(Please someone tell me how these look on your monitor, I processed them to 5300 Calvin so they would have a slightly warm cast… is this coming through???)

United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Swiss Army Knife

I recently volunteered to photograph UNHCR Hong Kong’s annual charity fundraiser ball. ” An evening of Hope” held at RED IFC2…

It was a lovely evening and they raised lots of money for the refugees in Hong Kong.

All the volunteers were given a small bag with some thank you gifts in it. In my bag was this nifty Swiss Army knife. As I was currently Swiss’less… this was much appreciated…

Thanks Kofi…
