FREE eBook: Every Tweet Reveals a Heap

kingpui85 — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 21:47:22 +0000

I’m happy to announce the launch of our first ebook, Every Tweet Reveals a Heap, a children’s story authored by yours truly and illustrated by my talented wife Megan Leong. It seems like a really long time ago when I wrote this story. However at Christmas time Megan surprised me by illustrating the characters of ETRAH, arranging and photographing them in really neat ways. I can’t be more pleased with the results. We’re offering everyone a PDF download of our ebook! It’s FREE with a twist; we’re asking you to “pay with a tweet.” That’s right, we intend to use Twitter to publicize a story about Twitter.

To get your FREE download, click the cover image or the beautiful button below. Boom. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the story! Still not sure? Here’s an excerpt.

And for all you lovely people who want to encourage more creative endeavors, you can make a small donation through PayPal. A donation is not required to download.

Portraits with a Single Light Source

For this set, I switched off all the lights in the apartment and hung a 100-watt fluorescent ‘daylight’ bulb from inside a closet. Then I controlled the light using the closet door—my DIY version of ‘barn doors.’ I taped up sheets of wax paper as a diffuser. I tried first to light the side of the face while using a reflector to fill in the shadows (not successful as the bulb, being diffused, did not produce enough light). Most of the better photos materialized when I shot from inside the closet. Another lesson: In low-light situations, shoot sitting down to reduce shakiness. Many photos came out soft/blurry and were not as sharp as they could have been. A big ‘thank you’ to my model, my wife Meg. Lens: 50mm 1.8. VIEW PHOTOS
