My first attempt at a chromakey shoot. I had my subject a bit close to the screen, so I had some reflected green spill that I've had to clean up, but overall I'm pretty pleased. This is something I'm going to be playing with a lot more, I think.
 
Additional equipment: Rear fill flash with optical slave, gold reflector opposite, pop-up green-screen (1.2mx2m), softbox on flash.
Edited in The Gimp.

Also: Handy hint - if your subject suffers from Frozen Face in front of a camera, shoot a few hundred shots - eventually the face relaxes! :)

    I used a colour selection mask, using http://registry.gimp.org/node/28296 , plus some manual cleanup.

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery

Churchill Rd Raclette - Delendale Creamery For this one I have one clear instruction before we begin. Pick up the cheese, step away from the cheese-board, and get thee to the kitchen. This is a cheese that needs - possibly even demands - some heat. Now I know the kitchen is a bit of a foreign place for the cheese-lover - I mean what use is there of fry-pans or cook-pots? Bear with me though, this journey is worth it. Before we begin, I'm going to take you on a small flight of fancy. Imagine, if you will, that an honest English Cheddar decided to take a holiday on the Continent, and found itself in Switzerland. Maybe seeking some great waterfall to encounter a perilous foe, it instead meets a sweet and charming Emmental. Romance blossoms, the Cheddar settles - foe forgotten, and the two have a child. Roll forward a dozen years and a few more, and this is Raclette. The bitter-edged teenager child - probably miffed that Cheddar failed to find and defeat that foe. Raclette is a cheese...
