Error 99

Sunday, September 18th, 2005

Oh shit. I’m packing for the flight tonight – Just checking the cameras and my main body seems to be a little on the blink. Every 10 frames or so it siezes up and blinks “Errror 99″ at me. Not good, but at least it unfreezes after a few seconds. Its Sunday so theres no chance of renting one or getting mine fixed so I’ll just have to chance it. Well, I won’t entirely leave things to chance, I’ve got a spare (but old!) body I can take and I’ll take the video and lights and lots of tapes. I’ve been saying for ages I’d do some video only shoots, so this time around my hand may be forced. The irony is I have a new body on order which should arrive any day now. I leave tonight, whats the chances that the new camera arrives tomorrow AM?

the weather for Ibiza looks pretty good – not to hot (mid 70’s) and some cloud – Ideal shooting weather in fact. My spies on the ground also tell me island is now getting much quieter, which makes life so much easier. Mid season I hate the place but as the end appraoches and the crowds thin out I get back to actually quite liking the place.

I won’t tease with who I’m meant to be shooting next week – it tends to jinx things badly, but I’ll make the effort to update the log during the week if I can find some internet.

Video Quality – We now have some

Saturday, September 17th, 2005

Has anyone noticed the quality of the videos has changed? Errr, I mean, the quality of the camera work hasn’t got any better and none of the girls are really going to worry Halle or Gywneth, what I mean is the data-rate has now been upped on the MPGs.

Whilst noodling about on the edit machine I remmebered that the editcard has a hardware MPG encoder built in – I’d never used it before as back in the day, when I bought the card, its minimum data rate was waaaaay to high to be usable. But in the year or so since then things have changed and now that pretty well everyone has BB 70mb for 10mins of video isn’t such a bad thing I can finally use the encoder – and lo and behold the quality is much better. or am I imagining things again? Recent MPGs of Emmie and Pris are the new size but this one of Felicity is a much better example as the quality of the original shoot is a lot higher.

Ahhh! Whale ahoy!

I’m gradually getting jobs done and the site updated a bit – Today I’ve added a load more images to the splash page scroller thing here on the front page. Its worth a look as its a pretty good preview of whats to come over the next few months, theres samples from sets that won’t appear for ages.

Am I mad? I’ve booked to go back to Ibiza next week for one more trip. Next week really is the end of the summer season – in fact a lot of people have gone already, but theres a couple of new girls to shoot and some reshoots of girls from earlier in the season. Hopefully the island will be a lot quieter this time around, getting from location to location on the last trip took hours due to traffic. 40 mins to do 6 miles!

And they’re off!

Ok, Ibiza has started officially which means – One new girl per update for the rest of the month and Ibiza updates from now until the new year. happy now?

Happy or not you now also have a new way to contact me. On the top of every models series page in the members area is now a “Feedback” email link. Click on the link and it’ll launch your regular email client with the subject line already pre-filled. Please don’t delete whats already in the subject line though you can add to it if you wish. That way my mail filters will make sure the feedback gets sent to the correct folder when I receive it.  

Introducing Luba

I’ve just been making TGP pages and couldn’t resist linking to this one. Introducing Luba, who I think may just be the star of this years ibiza girls. I have to totally admit I got as near to blowing this as its possible to do. Peter, one of my model scouts on the island had met up with her very early on in the season and sent me a pretty duff pic so I was all,. like, you know, blah about her. signup.gifHe totally failed to mention, Oh BTW Simon shes fucking gorgeous and you’d be a total looser not to get over here right now and shoot her. So I sat in the UK for another 3 WEEKS!!!! waiting for some “good” girls to turn up – even at SleazyJet prices its not worth the trip for less than 3-4 girls! Anyway, I left it so long to fly out I shot her the day before she left for home. She’s never modelled before, claims she has no interest in doing it agin – even though it was fun, so these 5 sets are very likely to be the only ones ever. And I nearly missed it.
