If I actually did anything useful like make and sell things, I'd be heavily discounting stuff today and for Cyber Monday, because it's what you do, right?
Since I don't do anything useful, I put most of my m/m romance short stories and novellas up for free download on my author website: http://www.paxasteriae.co.uk I quit writing about four years ago so most of them are stuck in First Draft status (and a couple in 'I never want to see this book again as long as I live' status) but, eh. Might as well give something away. Several of them have characters I bought dolls of in, because I love my massive, heavy, glorified action figures. *grin*

It's hard to believe that while I've always enjoyed photography, it was owning dolls that solidified my interest in it. I wanted to be able to take nice photos of Gabrys, so I ended up with a Nikon D3200 that I loved almost immediately and, more recently, some decent lenses. My newest lens arrived a couple of days ago, and I love it. It's a Yongnuo 50mm prime lense with a fantastically small (f1.8) aperture, and it's great. I'm finding a prime lens takes a little getting used to because, well, it doesn't zoom and that means manoeuvring the tripod around until it's in the perfect place, but I'm really liking the pictures it takes. It's hard to take a decent depth of field with something as small as a doll that mimics the effect of photographing a much larger human, but this lens does a great job of it. Paradigm was my first guinea pig, but I'm pretty sure everyone'll be getting the treatment while I practice. Plus, I think the reflectors were due an outing. Ouch, look at those crinkles... |
