So, the post below..

The post seen below shows one of the images I have edited for a tattoo artist based in Winsford. I was granted permission to photograph him working as he tattooed my dad so long as I gave him a copy of the photos. Of course I leaped at the oppurtunity as finding a tattoo artist that is willing to be photographed is practically impossible - copyright reasons apparently.
I made the most of the chance I was given and snapped away, now that its all over I'm pretty pleased with my results. As was he. I'm going back tomorrow to take some more photographs for him. In fact he's told me they should be going up on the website sometime in the next few days. I really really hope they are.
Anyway, the post below was for an advert, I mainly did it because I wanted to learn how to use the pen tool on Adobe Photoshop at the same time, but I am really pleased with how it turned out. The tool is also a lot easier to get to grips with than I first expected it to be, it was one of the rare occasions that I didn't fall out with photoshop. Which is a good thing. After all I can fall out with photoshop when just messing about with levels and curves.
Another image I had a play with:

This above image I didn't really do much with. Only messed with the curves a bit yet it still caused an almighty fuss.
I really wish photoshop would be more of a friend to me. It would make this photography lark so much easier.
The only thing I really like about the above image is the vibrant colours - its that what caught my eye. Not the composition, although in fairness its actually quite good. Or the depth of field, which also I am pleased with. But the colours. It is the colours that make the image so successful. You cant see the needle but the ammount of colour that can be seen on the gloves make it clear that the artist is using a large variety of inks.
