I wanted this as a sort of avatar. The concept was easy, but the tools I had to do it were abysmal... For this I used a *shudder* 1 megapixel (I think) webcam. It was probably even less. These are just a few of the technical problems I had:

- Incredibly slow 'shutter' times
- Very poor light sensitivity with over-saturation in a well-lit room, and absolutely nothing at night with electric lights
- Having to be your own model with a camera you also have to trip and focus on is incredibly tough - especially when you're looking away from it!
- I could do nothing about the backdrop...

This is also technically a photo-manipulation because I had to 'fix' the photo to get better colours and saturation. I also scrubbed off the logo on the foam Australia...

The concept I had was that of an ad where people hold the item in their hand and go all 'googly-eyed' all over it. I kinda wanted to do the same thing in a sarcastic way, and to show I was from Aussie in one fell swooop. Yay.
