I'm just back in the office after a trip up to Harrogate in North Yorkshire where I photographed the recently refurbished Carnegie Library. The building was unfurnished but still looked beautiful inside and I'll post a couple of pictures up as soon as I've processed them.
The drive up yesterday took about 5 hours but I enjoyed the trip as the scenery north of Sheffield is superb. I did the shoot yesterday afternoon then stayed in a lovely B and B last night in Harrogate which is a very pretty town and well worth a visit. The first leg of the drive home today was a nightmare though as the rain was so heavy I could hardly see the cars in front or behind me. As soon as I got south of Watford Gap the sun came out!.
On the way home I popped back to the BUPA care home in Milton Keynes to photograph the gardens for their new brochure then I popped in to PC World to get the latest prices on the iMacs - I'm now buying one for sure and will hopefully have time to get this all sorted by the end of the week. I did some training on Final Cut Pro last week which is a Mac only video editing program and I loved it so that really made my mind up about jumping over to a Mac system.
I've got a day in the office tomorrow to catch up on post shoot processing then I'm down in Bristol on Thursday and Friday where I'm doing three jobs for one of our major clients.
I was very lucky to photograph two beautiful ladies in the studio on Saturday - Annalie and Maya. They are both very photogenic and extremely fun to work with and we took some really cool shots over the course of the day. The problem is I took over 1000 pictures in four hours so now I've got the monumental task of editing the shoot. This was never a problem back in the days of film and is one of the reasons why I want to shoot more film in the studio - it's just too easy to snap away for hours with digital and without the constraints of a budget in terms of rolls of film one gets far to carried away and trigger happy.
I've attached a shot of Annalie from the last shoot and will post some of the new pictures once they're ready.

You're right about Harrogate, it's a beautiful town. I have the good fortune to be shooting a wedding in the Valley Gardens there on Saturday - Can't wait!
I know what you mean about digital v film but surely it's better to make full use of the capabilities of digital and keep snapping, rather than hold back and potentially miss a great shot?
Although perhaps this is less relevant in the controlled environment of the studio.
