Notice!

Well,

Even though I thought I'd never end up doing this, I'm putting my blogging to a stop. Why?

As I've discovered more and more blogs (most of which way more successful than mine) I've come to realize mine resembles them too much. Originally, I thought my idea for this blog was fresh, but it turned out I haven't done my research. Now, mine's a shadow of the many out there and this dissatisfies me to a point where I no longer wish to continue writing it. Because of that I've decided to stop doing it for some time until I decide in what way it'd go. I have to come up with a new idea, a new schedule and find my passion for blogging again.

I do realize I have promised MojoSteph and chanyeevon they'd be featured and this will happen. Most likely, the feature dates will be the 13th and the 27th, but ultimately it depends on them, so no promises on this one.

If and when there's news to share about the life of the blog I will post. When it's finally sorted out, you'll know. For the time being, thanks to all of you who supported me and Handmade Discoveries. Keep an eye on us for the features of the awesome two artists this month!

Hope the days between your visits leave you calm and happy,

Bilyana

Sharing: Photo updates! Yay!

Hey, guys!

Today's post will show you some of the new product photos I took last Friday! I'm quite happy with the outcome even though the original photos sucked really hard. All of that was thanks to my old camera that's not even near to the awesomeness of the one my partner's lending me. Super-duper macro mode? Check. Preview photos on the camera screen? Awesome. Actual picture? Way blurred. Exposure? Deadly underexposed. Focus? What's focus, m'lady? Anyway, two programs, three hours and a lot of nerves and "Which one? This one? Or the other?" thoughts later the outcome is:

Do you like them? You can check out the rest of them here and here. Well, that being done, there's only the polar collection to be rephotographed! I think I've kept the integrity, but still improved the theme feeling and the quality.

On Wednesday I'll be searching for the perfect photos! Join me in the treasure hunt for the best photographed products and finds some inspiration and a new level to aim at! Until then

Keep improving even if your motivation only lasts two days,

Bilyana!

P.S.: I'm having second thoughts. Which ones are better? Yeah, right, I've got the "dramatic" shallowness of field and all, but are they clear enough? Can they be clear when the varnish reflects light? Am I crazy?!
