Is a DSLR Necessary for Book Photography?

November 28, 2015

Photo of Siege and Storm with tea and cupcakes on white background to demonstrate clear book photography with a DSLROnce in a while I see people lament that they don’t have a good camera to take photos. They wish they had a snazzy DSLR with which they could take nicer photos for bookstagram. The thing is, as beautiful as photos taken with DSLRs can be, it’s not just about the camera. Yes, clarity and sharpness do matter, so a good camera does make a difference. However, in many cases our smartphone cameras are good enough to produce quality photos.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2015, Vol. 3: The Friends

November 26, 2015

Frankfurt Book Fair 2015: FriendsAmidst all the books and programmes at the Frankfurt Book Fair (FBM), I did also meet people. Friends are more than half the fun at events like these and I gotta say, I’m exceedingly thankful for the company I had. There aren’t all that many photos since the lot of us is pretty camera-shy, but I did get a few snapshots.

November 23, 2015

YA books hot off the pressI’m pretty stoked that Queen by Aimée Carter is finally releasing. I read Pawn when it first came out but didn’t continue with the sequel. I decided I’d rather wait for the trilogy to complete. This means I’ll be re-reading Pawn soon, so I can get on with Captive and then Queen. Which releases are you looking forward to this week?

Retrospect #99: November 22

November 22, 2015

Book Haul of Six of Crows, Forget Tomorrow and The Virgin SuicidesEarlier this week I sent my phone for servicing. The top left corner of the screen was discoloured. Now I’m waiting for Apple to decide if they can fix it or will replace it. Apparently that should take 5–7 days, including repairs. The worst part about being phoneless I realized isn’t that I’m semi-uncontactable. It’s that I don’t have a handy camera with me wherever I go. I also didn’t realize how much I rely on my travel apps, especially one that indicates the waiting times for the next buses.

Frankfurt Book Fair 2015: Discovering books and noting them downAfter posting a general overview of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2015 (FBM) last week, here’s a closer look at the events and programmes that took place on the exhibition grounds. The beauty about books and publishing is that they cover anything and everything under the sun. Books are a medium that contains knowledge in every imaginable sphere. This breadth was also represented at the book for.
