What I do

People often ask what it is that I do. I tell them I am a professional tourist; I travel the world and take pictures and then come home and "play" on a computer.
One time I wasn't able to go to a location in Venezuela to shoot a piece of equipment, there was a salesman going there, so I met with him and explained what we were looking for, how to shoot it, and told him to literally take 100's of pictures, so I could throw away 99 to get the one good shot.
 He returned with a total of 6 pictures, none of which would work for the piece of literature I was going to prepare.

The best picture, had way too much dust in the air, and we don’t want lots of dust, as it doesn’t promote the image we are after.

The first thing I did was clean the picture up and make it better, the results, while better still wasn't acceptable to the customer.

So I stripped out the back ground and added a different background. In doing so I got rid of all of the dust
