Had an urge to do a clone shot tonight, not done one for ages but they usually make people smile (or scared!)
For those that would like to know how it's done:
Set up a tripod and stick the camera on a 10 Second self timer.
I take a picture of the empty room in case I need it (but usually you don't) start taking the pics and then merge them in photoshop bringing layers back and forth as neccessary. I usually use a layer mask to select the bits I need and then paintbrush/rub out as needed.
This quick tutorial explains it pretty well: http://youtu.be/i2LYcAakCx0
Enjoy!

Cyprus Cat
I got back some Cyprus at the weekend where I was helping to photograph a friends wedding.
I had a great time, the weather was good and damn hot!
Although I didn't manage to get many personal shots done, I took loads at the wedding!
Anyway, to keep you going, here is a Cypriot cat.
Lets call him Dave.

Prepare for Launch!
Check out this brilliant time lapse video of the preparations of the the last Shuttle launch.
Very interesting stuff!
Here is the blurb from the website:
In this unique time-lapse video created from thousands of individual frames, photographers Scott Andrews, Stan Jirman and Philip Scott Andrews condense six weeks of painstaking work into three minutes, 52 seconds (read here how they did it). The action starts in the hangar-like Orbiter Processing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where Discovery has been outfitted for its STS-131 mission. The vehicle is then towed to the 525-foot-high Vehicle Assembly Building, hoisted into a vertical position and lowered onto its external fuel tank and twin solid rocket boosters. Then it’s off to the pad on the giant Mobile Launcher Platform, where the shuttle is encased in its protective Rotating Service Structure until just before launch on April 5, 2010. The film ends with a glimpse of Discoveryand the STS-131 astronauts coming in for a landing 15 days later, back in Florida where it all started.
