Maybe the fandom for these books will grow substantially enough for there to be fanfiction which surpasses the quality of the canon (like Harry Potter, for instance). This is not a complaint on my part.Īt this point I'm just wanting to finish what's been written so far, in anticipation of upcoming Eric/Sookie scenes. The books could definitely use more insight.Īn irrelevant aside: did anybody else notice that Harris has a thing for guys coming in their pants? Quinn did once, and Eric has twice now. I wish she'd delve deeper into her characters instead of focusing on mundane Mary Sue-ish things like shopping and outfits. I'd hoped the Queen and Andre would continue to be sympathetic characters, but that didn't happen. Of course, my favourite thing was the blood bond, but increasingly I'm bored with anything not involving Sookie, Eric, Pam, or Amelia. This one has a much better premise, in my opinion, but there weren't any new characters which were that interesting (Barry could've been so awesome, for instance). This is probably partially because I'm reading them all in such a short time, but I just feel like Harris's 'verse has so much potential and sometimes the plot ends up more boring than I'd anticipated. I think I'm starting to lose patience with these books. The author provides concrete examples and case studies that illustrate the concepts and best practices he covers.

When out shooting, experiment shooting through objects – a hole in the fence, tree leaves, a crowd – or even hold something up to obstruct part of your lens’ view. This effect allowed him to frame his subjects in creative ways, creating mystery and evoking a story. Leiter dispelled this impulse, often shooting through other objects. It’s in our nature as photographers to neatly frame a subject and have it free from obstruction.
