Enter the Dragon

I rarely take “box ceremony” photos for new arrivals, but I thought this time I would make an exception.

Meet the newest member of the World Ruined crew — a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I’m really, really excited about this whole thing. XD ♥

Edit: Now with actual first photos!

They’re horribly off as far as white balance goes, and I don’t know what half of the functions do yet, but… eeee! These don’t nearly begin to cover my awe at the jump between cameras. Even just the move from four megapixels (Coolpix 4500) to ten megapixels (Rebel XTi) is like whoa. XD

Next up — figure out what the hell it is that I’m doing (and what I should change for future reference). This is gonna be fun. XD

apple of my eye

Quick photos to showcase my newest acquisition. Notice anything different?

Joce’s new eyes came today!

They’re 19mm “apple green” glass eyes by Silver, and they’re simply beautiful in person. I had been casting about for a new green eye for him for a long time; his brown and green eyes have actually been incorrect all this time because I didn’t like the way his older green eye looked. It didn’t have the depth I wanted, and so gave him a rather disconcerting stare at almost every angle. So when these Silver eyes came up, even at 19mm rather than 18mm, I thought I would give them a shot.

war of the roses

Geez, I love these two. I don’t know which is my favorite at the moment – Justyn or Domynic. They’re similar in so many ways (one of the reasons I liked Dom right away is that he reminded me so much of Justyn, especially the mouth), and yet distinctly different, too. I think they’ll get some more photo shoots together in the future. ♥

I had to steal Jer’s body for this, though, so his head is packed up in a box to await the day I either switch off again or finally get a body for Dom. That makes this kind of an experiment because… I want to know how much I miss Jer if he’s not around. If I could part with him or if I need him to stay. So we’ll see how that goes.

open your heart

Lend me your ear
And I’ll tell you about the things I fear, baby
Open your heart
And I’ll tell you why I’m torn apart, maybe
