time for some tasty bonus detective content from my agatha christie easter egg/mystery post, explaining how i figured out what books they were
checking my work is extremely welcome so have at it brainrot gang!
(WELL i was gonna put something here about finally having decent screenshots, but now i look at them i think the highly cursed picture of my tv screen that i used originally is actually the clearer one? so fuck it, i guess Feralmode is the one true path)
anyways, onward to madness!
the book on top (on the right for rotated pics) was the slightly more complicated one to figure out so we'll start there, I've blocked out the gold lines dividing the titles to make it somewhat clearer-
Tumblr media
as you can see the middle title is just one line, so when we take a look at the whole set we can immediately rule out all but five of them-
Tumblr media
(this is the best pic i could find of all 24, still kinda blurry but the lighting on the gold is similar enough for a good comparison imo)
then taking into account that the top and bottom titles both have two lines of text, we're down to three possibilities-
Tumblr media
here it starts getting unhinged SO I've stuck some scribbles on our source pic to help give you some idea of the formatting; circles on the clearest spaces, and lines for the rough length of the lines of text-
Tumblr media
now if we'll focus on the top title first we see a smaller line on top that seems to be just one word and a longer line underneath that has one visible space, and only one of our three choices has a single space on that second line... BUT its entirely possible that there's multiple spaces that just aren't very clear so lets check out that bottom title to be sure shall we?
both lines are roughly the same length so we can ditch the book with "After The Funeral" right away, the space that we can see on the top line is fairly central so i don't think the "A" from "A Murder Is Announced" would give us such a long blob of gold (and i think the middle title on that one is too short to be a good match either) which finally leaves us with this bad boy right here-
Tumblr media
looks like we have a winner to me, but lemme know what you reckon!
and finally
the other book looks like it should be harder but you can narrow it down pretty quickly just by the arrangement of lines in each title-
Tumblr media
so first off we can cross out any that don't have two lines in all three titles-
Tumblr media
then, checking the middle titles we remove any that have either a top line shorter than the bottom line, or lines of similar length-
Tumblr media
next up, the top and bottom titles should both have a slightly shorter line on the top-
Tumblr media
and boom, the last book standing! but just to be extra sure, here's the side by side to check if it all matches up-
Tumblr media
and there we fuckin have it folks, the complete and utter shenanigans that i will apparently put myself through to find a single crumb of detail in this beautiful show
let me know if you spot anything I've missed or gotten wrong here and azi bless you if you've actually made it to the end of this mess 💚

Real 10 Dance Roundtable event report
For the past several years, each time a volume of 10 Dance has been released in Japan (and sometimes in between), there have been events held under the name "Real 10 Dance", which typically feature performances primarily of men dancing together. Volume 6's edition in 2021 was exclusively online, while 2022 brought the return of the live version of the event (though it also was streamed online a couple of months later). When this year's event was announced for February 5th, 2023 in conjunction with Volume 7's release a couple of weeks earlier, it was billed as more of a roundtable discussion rather than centering around dancing, with the biggest reveal being that Inouesatoh herself would be there to discuss the series and answer questions. This seemed like an extremely rare opportunity to get inside information about the series, so I decided to make a trip to Japan to see it. Click below to read my report on the event! (Note: definitely tread carefully if you're not caught up on all of volume 7, as there are big spoilers in here, as well as talk about what is planned for the near future!)
The event was divided into two separate two-hour sessions, which each featured entirely different content (save for the opening and closing numbers, which were the same for each). Only certain segments allowed for picture taking, so the images shared here will be limited (as should probably be expected, none were allowed during Inouesatoh's segments, though she was wearing a face mask and sunglasses, so it was difficult to see exactly what she looked like anyway. At first I thought the sunglasses were for anonymity, but after the event she made some tweets about health issues she has such fibromyalgia and light sensitivity). The dancers featured in both sessions were ones who have participated in previous Real 10 Dance events, and included the three series consultants Ai Shimoda, Kouichi Nishio, and Yukiko Kamiwaki, plus Jun Motoike, Takashi Takagi, Choma Sekine, Kiyomi Takashima, Miri Murano, and Yuuya Miyakawa.
Upon entry, audience members were given a program and a postcard featuring the image of the Shinyas from Volume 7's special edition booklet cover.
Tumblr media
The hall was set up with things like advertisements for the series, reproductions of pages (which included scenes requested by attendees during the ticket buying process), and dance equipment and costumes to look at before the event started.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The volume 7 booklet included the image seen on the left here with correction notes for the coloring of the cover image, but I was amused by the right image which includes anatomy notes such as how a dancer's butt differs from a normal man's.
Tumblr media
I attended in a custom shirt I made with an iron-on transfer.
First up in the program was an opening number by the Latin specialists, dancing a cha-cha to Dirty Work by Austin Mahone. They started out in male-female pairs, then broke apart so the men could have their chance to dance together and thrill the largely fujoshi audience.
Motoike then hosted a segment where he provided a rundown of the different types of Standard and Latin dances. The other pros were lined up to be selected to demonstrate different ones, but the catch was that none of them knew what they were dancing until Motoike paired them up. The selections varied between opposite-sex and same-sex pairings, as well as different combinations of Standard and Latin pros being mixed together (sorry for the blurry picture, it was difficult to get good shots while they were moving, but here both the female duo and male duo include one Standard and one Latin pro).
Tumblr media
Motoike also requested for some of the Latin pros to switch between cha-cha and rumba while dancing to the same music piece. Once the segment wrapped up, Takagi asked if Motoike was going to dance at all, and asked him to perform a solo waltz to cha-cha music.
Tumblr media
There was a short audience participation segment to try out some aspects of ballroom dance movement. This included performing the rise and fall of a waltz to the count, and the basic steps of a cha-cha (done on a very small scale, as they had us doing them from the narrow rows where our seats were rather than the central floor).
Then came the main draw of the A session: the in-depth manga discussion! This segment featured Kodansha editor T-naka, Inoue's longtime friend and series collaborator simply known by the nickname of Teacher, and of course Inouesatoh herself. The segment was moderated by dance consultant for the series (and total fujoshi) Ai Shimoda. I will try my best to summarize the most interesting bits from this discussion, though it was definitely a lot to take in, and sometimes freely flowed between topics rather than being a strict singular answer to each question (also sorry if I misattribute who said which exact quotes, as sometimes different combinations of the guests spoke on the same subjects back and forth. Inouesatoh wrote in a tweet after the event that Teacher acted as her "Japanese translator", since she was typically able to voice her thoughts better than she could herself.)
Upon her introduction, we found out that Teacher has known Inouesatoh since they were both students in the same manga appreciation group. In the early part of the series, she sometimes helped with background art, though currently is mainly involved in helping with the story. During the talk segment, Inoue credited her with helping to achieve balance between the different story elements.
The birthdays listed in the calendar were thought up by Teacher. At first she thought about having the two Shinyas be Scorpios, but then didn't feel that fit well for Suzuki. But she did feel like Sagittarius fit well for him, and since the two signs are adjacent she instead made their birthdays one day apart but with those two different signs. T-naka was surprised to see their birthdays, as Suzuki's is the same as his and Sugiki's is on his anniversary. Shimoda joked that we were learning an awful lot of personal information about T-naka. 
Teacher also shared the back-and-forth exchange that occurred when Inouesatoh revealed a certain controversial plot point that she wanted to include:
Inouesatoh: So I'm thinking of having Suzuki and Norman have sex.
Teacher: What? Really?
Inoue: Really.
Teacher: Really??
Inoue: Really.
(I've personally wondered if she's had it planned for a long time, but from this exchange, even if she may have personally known it was coming, those closest to her were not aware of it until Norman returned to the story.)
It was mentioned in the chapter notes that the sex scene was originally a bit longer, and during this talk it was revealed that T-naka was the one who requested for it to be cut down. He was thinking that the fans might have a hard time dealing with it (citing he was thinking of the poor "maidens' hearts"), and someone (either Shimoda or Teacher?) chimed in and agreed that it was difficult to accept seeing a sex scene between these two when the main couple hasn't even had sex yet (umm, yeah, it definitely was! Thank you T-naka for saving us from enduring a longer scene lol).
There was an interesting discussion about how when the series began, the Shinyas were intended to be a switch couple. Though this plan had been approved, apparently she later got feedback that BL fans do not really like for couples to switch, so being in a BL magazine she felt like she should change her plans. (I personally love to see switching, and maybe that's why I got hooked on the series so early since I probably sensed that intention!). She did not specify if moving out of a BL magazine meant she went back to her original plan, or if she decided to stick with whatever choice she made for who should be top and bottom, but it feels like the switching element was talked about more in the past tense, so maybe she's not doing it anymore. There was some related talk about Suzuki's development, and how he especially was created as a character who could take either role; in fact, the line he said to Saichi in chapter 38 when he was talking about how he could've gone along with what Sugiki wanted did carry the implication that he would've even bottomed for him if he had thought their relationship would succeed.
Near the end of the talk, T-naka was going over some details about the volume covers, such as how each features one of the ten different ballroom dances, and how the step patterns on the cover flaps are real ones you can try out yourself. Shimoda took this opportunity to ask something I've wondered: since there are ten different dances to go through, does that mean the series is planned to end at ten volumes? T-naka said this was not necessarily the case, and the exact number of total volumes is not yet decided.
The talk segment finished with the chance for audience members to give their thoughts and ask questions. One was concerned that with the series moving online to Yanmaga if there will be restrictions as far as romantic and sexual content goes. T-naka assured that because it's a website rather than an app that there aren't limits on erotic content. Another commented on how much he loves the costumes in the series, especially the sexy ones Suzuki and Aki have been wearing lately, and that he hopes to see more designs in the future. This led to some talk about costumes, including one of the standard men commenting that it's no longer strictly required for them to wear only the black tux and tails combo, and that he's even competed in suits or pure white tuxes. One audience member wondered about Sugiki and Max, and with the two seeming to become close would they end up having sex like Suzuki and Norman. Inouesatoh clearly and immediately said no to this possibility (to the relief of everyone lol). One woman started off with a shaky voice and saying how nervous she was, nearly on the verge of tears as she spoke, which caused Inoue to get up from the table and walk over to stand in front of the section she was sitting in (I'm sure she meant to be a comfort, but also having her come closer seems even more intimidating!). She said that she doesn't care if they're a switch couple or whatever, just please let the Shinyas get together. Then Inoue joked a little dialogue of, "Hey Sugiki," "Hey Suzuki," "Let's do it," and the audience clapped and cheered (We will approve of literally any justification after this many years lol).
This was followed by a short performance segment, with Takagi and Sekine doing a rumba to Half of Me by Ken Hirai, and Motoike and Nishio performing various standard styles to selections from La La Land (these performances were revivals of ones done at previous years' events, though the only one I had seen before was the rumba that was part of 2021's remote version).
There was a short outro for the dancers to the song It's Always a Good Time by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen. The session ended with the dancers taking pose requests from the audience. I didn't get the best or clearest shots, but if you check the hashtag #リアル10DANCE座談会 on Twitter, you can find a lot of other attendees' pictures.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Heading out of the venue between sessions, I saw that Inouesatoh and Teacher were standing by with fans lining up to talk to them. I knew that the next session was scheduled to start with a chance to chat with them, and feeling like if I didn't get a bit of food I might pass out (I had been extra nervous in the morning, so it was difficult to eat much of anything), I decided to wait until the B session (honestly also didn't feel mentally prepared yet seeing them standing right there!). I headed to a convenience store, scarfed down an onigiri, then spent a bit of time chatting with a couple of other fans I knew from Twitter.
At the start of session B, despite trying to ready myself before, I still hesitated a bit once they said that the guests would be standing by and available to talk briefly one-on-one with attendees. I wanted to go up and say something, but was also feeling extremely anxious at the idea of actually talking to her. But knowing what a rare opportunity this was, I convinced myself that I shouldn't let it slip by, so I joined others who were waiting to speak to her. As I waited in line, I was trying to rehearse what I would say in my head, but also was feeling more and more of a nervous wreck as I got closer to the front. I had also been near the end of the line and they were running low on time, so the allowed time went from about 20 seconds down to 10 seconds. In fact, they nearly cut the time off entirely when there were about two people left in front of me, but Inoue insisted that everyone who was waiting should get their chance to talk to her. So I finally got my turn, and Inoue and Teacher immediately commented on the T-shirt, with Inoue asking "aren't you cold?" (no, actually, I was sweating profusely from anxiety lol). I said I was fine, then froze a bit as I was thrown off from having to deviate from my planned spiel. I started mumbling quietly and she told me to come closer. I said I'd wanted to see this event so badly that I'd come all the way from America (she seemed amazed and touched my hand!), then blurted out something about how the Shinyas' relationship is complicated and heartbreaking but also so deep and I love it, and that I was rooting for their future happiness, then quickly scampered back to my seat.
Before the start of the B session's talk portion, when Inouesatoh was called to the stage, there was a slight delay as she was said to be sitting on one of the dancer's laps backstage. I wondered which one it was, suspecting it might be Takagi as I also would've chosen him. The mystery was answered a week later, when she tweeted a picture showing it was, indeed, Takagi! Though she insisted it wasn't on purpose; he patted his knee and her butt was just drawn to him, as anyone's would be! Once she emerged, she was joined by Teacher and the other two guests for this session: BL manga author Hatoko Machiya, and otaku researcher Taimatsu Yoshimoto. 
It has been previously noted that 10 Dance was a work that Inouesatoh had been planning for a very long time, with its first drafts being made even before she started publishing many of her other works (she made some tweets before about how things changed over time, such as how Sugiki was originally going to be a single dad, but then that idea was scrapped and instead used in Kozure Ookami). She kept publishing other short series while having 10 Dance on the backburner, waiting for her draft to be accepted, until finally after finishing Smoker she declared that if she couldn't do 10 Dance next, she was going to quit BL.
Yoshimoto said that he became a fan of Inouesatoh's work from reading Endorphin Machine, and he likes the realistic bodies and muscles that she draws. She made a comment about how BL magazines don't always allow that sort of style, wanting the characters to be thin and hairless and even nippleless sometimes. That sort of style looks strange to her, since she likes to draw bodies that look real. She talked a bit about the work she did in her twenties before becoming a manga author, some of which included designing monster costumes for TV shows (she added in a tweet afterward that she also did work for commercials and promotional videos, so it's possible that people have seen her work without knowing it). This gave her a great sense for how bodies move, and also allowed her to create very masculine and exaggerated designs. At another point she talked about growing up in the 1970s in some sort of shared housing unit where a lot of men lived, which meant that the manga options she had available to read were mostly shounen and porn (to me, her style makes a lot of sense with all of these facts combined together; she's definitely not emulating the flowery shoujo styles that a lot of BL authors grew up on!).
There was some talk between Machiya and Inouesatoh about drawing sex scenes. Inoue said that she likes drawing them, but also doesn't want to feel like it's only happening because it's expected. She doesn't feel it's right for a relationship to progress from one to two then straight to ten simply because publishing in a BL magazine carries the assumption that sex will happen quickly. She went on to note that readers who don't like sex scenes may want to stop reading 10 Dance soon. Shimoda eagerly asked if this means this is something we can expect to see in volume 8, and Inoue said yes!
There was then a 10 Dance trivia game. It was run through a site called ahaslides, and included multiple choice options that participants used their phones to select. There were ten questions total, most worth one point, with the first being a practice question worth zero, and the last two questions worth two points each (possible maximum score of 11). One question was the one that had been mentioned on Twitter beforehand of what is the name of Teacher's cat. Some of the questions had the pros perform specific dance moves, and then the questions were to identify which dance was a cha-cha, and which move was an oversway. There were also manga detail specific questions, like in the volume 7 cover flap comic, what incorrect thing did Suzuki write down when Fusako asked him to write a word. Another was what was the name of Suzuki's friend who got obliterated by Sugiki's eye beams in vol 4's cover flap comic. There was another about the number of kisses that have happened in the series so far, and specified that it meant scenes not panels, and also no fantasies or bonus chapters included.
After eight questions, I had four points total, but then there was some issue with the game and I had to sign back in. This meant that I didn't have an opportunity to answer the ninth question (which I knew and was worth two points), and did answer the tenth question that was also worth two, but apparently having to get back into the game meant my point total was reset, so in the end I only had two, but would've had eight if I'd had my previous four points and the two from the question I wasn't able to answer. The top person had ten points, and second place had nine, so eight would've tied me for third with a few other people. Which didn't get the top prize of an autograph from Inouesatoh, but would've gotten me one of the page reproductions that were displayed in the venue. Definitely disappointing that the game glitch prevented me from getting a prize, since I pride myself on being good at trivia lol.
Lastly was an Emperor's Hold audience participation segment. This time we were all invited to come down to the main floor so we could spread out, and were instructed on how to get into a regular ballroom hold, then make the alterations to turn it into Sugiki's signature hold.
Overall, I'm so glad I went to see this event! It felt overwhelming, but in a good way! It was amazing to hear the author and her team give insight into the series and its creation. One thing I've wondered about is why Inouesatoh stopped publishing in Reijin, and though that specific question was not asked, the answer seemed pretty clear as she talked about the different restrictions and expectations of being in a BL magazine that it just wasn't a good fit for her. She needed the freedom to tell the story she wanted to tell, rather than trying to adhere to certain formulas or standards. And even if I might find some of her ideas shocking (the Norman plot was one she also said probably wouldn't fly in a BL magazine), I am on board for whatever direction she plans to go from here (I mean, that hint about sex scenes coming soon is definitely encouraging! Hopefully it's actually between the Shinyas this time lmao). She tweeted after the event some comments about not wanting to be too heavy on explanations in her stories, so some of the information is more in the background and may require multiple readings to understand (I've definitely found that true with 10 Dance, there are so many background hints scattered around that I've only found when re-reading). I just came away from this event being even more in awe of the series than ever before, and hoping that Inouesatoh and everyone else involved in its creation felt that love and encouragement from the eager attendees. Even if I was a nervous wreck as the (as far as I could tell) sole non-Japanese fan there, I hope I did my job of representing for the overseas fans and letting her know that the admiration for her series spreads all across the globe!
...This already lengthy report isn't over yet! A bonus addition is that after the event I took the chance to go to Ginza and see some of the real life inspirations for locations used in the series! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mitsukoshi clock tower near the Ginza metro station entrance, seen in shots such as chapter 13's cover.
Tumblr media
Model building for Sugiki Dance School.
Tumblr media
Sukiyabashi park (quite small in real life, but was the inspiration for the park where the Shinyas go to dance.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tokyo Station Hotel, seen in the background of chapter 33 as the Shinyas finish their farewell dance marathon.
Finally, on the way back to my hotel I rode the Marunouchi subway line, and spent the time between the Ginza and Kasumigaseki stations (2 minutes) imagining the epic makeout session that occurred on that train (good thing I was wearing a mask, I'm sure I was blushing hard lol).

5 Basic Rules for Photography
You will notice that nowadays anybody with a camera in hand will claim that they are the best photographer that you can come across. It often makes people wonder what is the difference between professional photography services in Dubai or any other location and a layman who just has an affinity in the field. Today we are going to talk about the top 5 basic rules that you have to keep in mind when it comes to photography. Always understand that the work of a professional is much more well-suited because they are trained in the field. You can follow these guidelines to click much more aesthetically pleasing pictures. Top 5 Basic Rules to Follow in Photography Be it for commercial photography in Dubai or any other location that you choose, we can always claim that these five rules will enhance your skills much more. Some of these are: 1. Rule of thirds The first thing that you need to do is divide your frame into thirds both horizontally and vertically. After you have done that, you need to place your subject along these lines or at the intersections. This creates a more interesting composition and draws the viewer's eye to the subject. The rule of thirds is one of the most basic principles and most of the photography services in Dubai as well as other areas follow this rule. 2. Focus You always have to make sure that your subject is in focus. The eyes of your subject are usually the most important thing to focus on. One of the major reasons behind this is that these are often the first thing viewers look at. If you do not pay attention to focus then it can produce blurry images and ruin the entire set-up. 3. Lighting A golden rule for photography is that if you want great pictures, there is nothing more important than lighting for sure. Always try to ensure you shoot in natural light as much as possible. Not only that, try to avoid any harsh shadows or blown-out highlights. Always put the direction and intensity of light into consideration and it can help you to create the mood you want. 4. Simplify Refrain from cluttering the frame too much with a lot of elements. Try to simplify the composition by removing any distractions that do not add to the image and are just extra. 5. Experiment You need to be creative when it comes to photography. Hence, don't be afraid to try new things and experiment with different angles, perspectives, and settings. Photography is an art, and like any art, it requires practice and experimentation to develop your own style and creative voice. However, if you need aid with other domains and want professional photographers, then it is best to hire one. You will see that nowadays you can also choose to hire professional photographers specific to any event. For example, the concept of commercial photography in Dubai as well as in nearby locations has become extremely common.

Don’t ask me why I made this, just know that I’m right and this is not just a Headcanon post but real. It’s not me having brain worms haha that would be insane. Honestly I just started thinking about how the hell arc introducing Seireitei approved social media would be such a mistake but god would it be fun to watch.
The Current Captains On Social Media
Shunsui Kyoraku - Failed erotic novel author turned romance/erotic novel reviewer. The fan base for his work is very small compared to his actual following. There is some divide in his followers—those who follow for his life updates and those who want to hear him talk at length about his latest read. Funnily enough, his quick, messy posts usually paired with scenery or a selfie are his most popular writing, often hailed as snippets of his poetic soul. Lots of people want to give him a hug.
Soi Fon - Adamant privacy and safety poster. Took to code and anti-virus technology well, much to Mayuri’s annoyance. Posts tips and tricks that read more like demands. Is known for her bitchy responses when followers @ her with their progress that are eaten up gratefully. Her advice is punctuated by posts admiring athletic women and these women make up the bulk of who she follows. She seems to admire runners and lifters the most. Her threatening posts when people hit on her too hard/with too many notes to back them up are turned into copypastas.
Rose Otoribashi - Has one of the larger followings thanks to his nostalgic visuals as well as his dedication to frequently posting new music. He has a personality that’s easily digestible when viewed through snippets. The fact that his passion is music and his job is news/editing also do him a lot of favors. He loves doing live streams and encourages his followers to perform for & with him.
Isane Kotetsu - Her growth being captured on social media not just as a captain but as a person has given her a fan base that feels extremely protective of her. She’s less known for what content she brings and more for her personality. Any creative content she posts is likely to start trending. Especially her ‘peaceful morning’ videos and reflective writing. She’s one of the more interactive posters, beloved for her encouraging responses.
Shinji Hirako - As a more private person, he doesn’t have much of a following and his most popular posts are candid moments posted by others. Lisa is a large reason people consider him endearing in anyway. Definitely the kind of person who is either considered cringe or cool with little in between. The kind of guy who asks what he should do with his hair and then goes with an option that wasn’t listed.
Byakuya Kuchiki - Has an extremely scheduled and curated presence on any site he’s on, but is nonetheless adored. He used to ask Renji and Akon for advice on how to handle some of the more online behavior (like being @ed by women who photoshop them as their date to events or being asked how many notes a date would cost) but stopped quickly. Turns out saying something is flattering leads to more of that behavior. Any selfie he posts is edited and reposted into oblivion until it’s thousands of people’s pfp.
Tetsuzaemon Iba - Despite him being one of the most well rounded captains personality wise, he gets put onto block lists the most for his dedication to concepts of manliness, which are easy concepts to feed to the social media outrage machine. Women’s Association vs Men’s Association is a popular meme where the former is something sensible and the latter is something ineffective/archaic. That being said, he’s also known as a ‘problematic fav’ and people will often post memes about abandoning their feminism for a few minutes to like his selfies and training videos.
Lisa Yadomaru - Another captain with a large love and hate following. Often picked apart for interacting with porn/hentai accounts, thirsting after women openly, and posting pictures alluding to her sexual escapades. Despite her account being regular food for the outrage machine, she doesn’t seem to care or pay attention to it and is forever horny on Main. She posts a lot of candid photos/videos of her friends. Recommends the best fucked up fiction.
Kensei Muguruma - Of course he does cooking videos, but what really does well are his cooking challenges. He forces his lieutenant, friends, and colleagues to compete with him on making a better dish on a time limit and often with other handicaps. Usually wins. His bloopers get a ton of mileage when he posts them. His merch is constantly sold out. People often dress up as him for Halloween/conventions, usually with foam or blow up arms/abs.
Toshiro Hitsugaya - Another captain with a huge following due to him approaching social media with his tireless work ethic. His ice sculptures are very popular and his pop-up galleries sell out in hours. Is actually a huge fan of ‘cozy’ games and is known for having beautiful towns/farms/ect that showcase his attention to detail. He does events in Minecraft sometimes, where he guides people through building large scale projects (and also feels like he’s making friends but that’s left entirely unsaid). A bit harsh, but beloved.
Kenpachi Zaraki - People question if it’s really his account because it’s so random at times, but he posts videos of him mowing down his subordinates during training so it has to be. The odd content includes engaging with easy recipes & activities for toddlers and increasingly complicated punk hairstyles that he really does try out. He also posts weekly, asking for people to volunteer and fight him. The human world especially loves this and he gets a lot of responses. He tries to set up times to fight them but Nanao threatens to delete his accounts and put him on suspension if he attempts to follow through. He posts a lot of post-battle pictures and humans gobble it up. “Just fought *insert ridiculous thing here*” is a huge meme.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi - He is constantly making new accounts and circumventing bans for posting links to his old lab work, that often involves heinous amounts of gore. Actually does have a following, often from those within his own division, those hoping to be in his division, or humans who see him as edgy and a little bit off his rocker, which they think is cool. He posts pictures of himself whenever he switches up his look. And posts Nemuri a lot with unhinged captains about how she’s going to outpace even the head captain and no one could make someone as special & smart as her. Just comes off as a really passionate dad. Plenty of people are convinced he’s a creepy pasta project ran by a dude with a daughter.
Rukia Kuchiki - Like Isane, she’s really loved for who she is rather than creative content. Even her attempts at being stern and ‘captain-like’ are fawned over. She has a line of children’s books, stickers, and notebooks with her cute drawings. Her most popular set was when her daughter contributed. The human world is convinced Renji is her house husband and her life is generally seen as all around ‘goals’. Her posts are riddled with mistakes and very sporadic; she’s posted accidental live streams while she did paperwork and they went viral. She posts tons of candids of her subordinates and family but they are usually blurry or actually videos.

How do I shoot like a professional Photographer
Tumblr media
It appears you are willing to shoot like a professional photographer. But it is not as easy as it sounds. One needs to put a decent effort to do this. There is no hidden secrets that will make you an expert at photography overnight. But in this post I am going to reveal some hidden trick that can improve your photography skills in real quick time. 
Let’s make a dive forward.
1. Capture in Golden Hour 
Some people consider the perfect time for photo-shoot when the sun is shining fully. But that’s not the real case at all. The greatest photos are taken in Golden Hour. Do you know when the golden time is? It’s one hour after sunset and one hour before sunset. If you capture photos at this time there will be no unwanted shadow. You will be able to get warm color. Everything gets a magical touch at this moment. This is a great time for capturing portrait.

02. Learn the exposure trio
Most of the beginner Photographer made a mistake by taking photo in Auto Mode. But this is not the right things to follow at all. To capture the photo professionally you have learn three facts related with exposure, Aperture Shutter speed and ISO. 
By mastering these three you will be able to make the exposure right. Capture the photos by changing the value of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO in different types of light. 
Inspect how the camera response in low light and high light. Once you can make the exposure right, you can claim yourself as a pro. 
03. Pick the Right Lenses
Lenses are one of the primary factors to be a professional photo shooter. Don’t use a specific lens for every sort of photo-shoot. For example, when you are willing to take close shot you can use Zoom lens. For landscape photography you can use wide angle lens. 
I am trying to say don’t make the mistake of using a specific lens for every type of photo-shoot. 
04. Use Creative Perspective
People always love to see something new. So, try to capture from an exceptional perspective. In this way, you will be able to bring an interesting look from an ordinary object too. If you inspect professional Photography of portrait and landscape, often they are taken from a creative perspective. 
Perspective is such a thing that can make an ordinary photo appealing, it can make an interesting object boring. So, capture from such an angle that shows things from a different object makes a photo much more interesting. 
05. Use Shadow and Reflection 
Shadow and Reflection are two important elements of a photo that many beginner photographers overlook. By proper using Shadow and Reflection you can make an object extremely interesting.
You can use external light source from different angles to create shadow.  Or you can add shadow by applying Shadow Creation.

06. Apply Rule of Third 
To shoot like a professional photographer, you must have to know the Rule of thirds.  Consider the frame in three lines from both horizontal and vertical and central divided in three different parts. 
That means you have nine different parts in your photo. Place your objects according to those sections. Your focus should be placing the imagery from a specific perspective. 
It doesn’t mean that you should always place it in the center. You can also present your image from the left or from the right. But maintain the intersection.

07. Don’t Shake the Camera 
Perhaps this is the most important rule in this list. Cause, if you make a mistake at this point rest of your efforts will be ruined. Shaking will provide you a blurry photo. You cannot capture great photos if you don’t control the art of avoid shaking. Holding the camera in a proper way is important. Keep your hand close to the body to gain stability.
08. Image Editing 
This is another key thing you should include in you photography. It doesn’t matter how hard you try but the reality is there will be some lacking in the picture. With the help of Image Editing You will be able to fill those lacking and gap that camera failed to capture. All professional photo editors in the world edit their photos. You should also take the advantage. I know that as a photographer, it's really tough to manage time for photo editing. In this scenario, photo editing service from Clipping USA can be the best solution. 
That’s it for today. Hope it was massively helpful for you. By applying these 8 key feature described above you will be able to shoot like a professional photographer.

Digital Empowerment Photography Lessons With Focus And Exposure
By Joseph Fisher
As film cameras slowly become obsolete, a digital camera is becoming the new kid on the block; this is the correct article! We sill go on to more basic functions and concepts of your digital camera, as well as some controls to help you learn about empowerment photography. Understanding the frame is basic to understanding composition in general. It is important to keep your subject aligned with the imaginary lines of the "Rule of Thirds." What this means is divide your subject into thirds by drawing two imaginary horizontal and vertical lines. The lines should be evenly spaced. This makes up a grid pattern. Place the subject where the lines intersect to create a more interesting composition. On the other hand, autofocus is also a function that would make your life easier. It works when you hold your shutter halfway, where you could see the focus occurring. The time it saves for you is not that significant, but if you are rushing, it could help a lot. Second Digital Photography Lessons: Have a steady hand and use your frame well- Shaky hands would not help if you are engaged in photography; The results would make you fringe, especially if you capture good subjects while your hands shake - pictures would look blurry and will produce this "ghosting" effect, where the picture would appear double. Try as best as possible to have your hands steadied and used the grid on your frame to help you with the alignment. Reflection - Last week I was thinking on past experiences... Oh, I am sure that you wouldn't like to hear me rant on about that, but why don't you think about this: One of the extremely useful digital photography lessons is to use a reflective surface to add dimension. You could take a photo utilizing a reflection in the water, a mirror, a window or anything metallic and shiny. The most photographed object is called "The Bean" in Chicago. Shutter speed is nothing more than the amount of time the aperture is open... Letting in light to the film or digital sensor. Of course there are bunches of combinations of shutter speed and aperture - but the basics are pretty simple wouldn't you agree? Fourth Digital Photographing Lessons: Post process most of your photos and try to use the raw format- The very essence of digital photographing is the post-processing method. This method enables you to tweak your photos and set your desired color. You could even adjust the grid, contrast, brightness, clarity, darkness, and almost every perspective of your image. The amount of light needed can be easily calculated by the cameras internal computer. What can't be automatically computed and where we find the true artistry in photographing, is in the creative decisions that go into each photo. No camera could ever automatically make these sorts of creative decisions. If you want to take your photography to a whole new level and start getting photos that will rival the best professionals. You can go online and find digital photography lessons that will quickly take you out of the fully automatic, grab shot phase and bring in the "WOW" into YOUR pictures.
