About this deal

Armed with some knowledge of what these magic hours are – and an idea of exactly what you want to photograph during them – these periods of soft, diffused light can become a period when you can be at your most creative and accomplished.

Really enjoyed the dark tales of this collection, featuring some really graphic scenes that will stay with me and exploration of mental illness/grief in a fantastical way. This was a great entryway into King's short story realm. Like any new skill, learning night photography can be an iterative process. When you get your first shots on your computer at home, don’t be afraid to look at them with a critical eye. Understanding the impact of exposure settings and technical elements can make for a better photo taking experience any time you use your camera. N: A psychiatrist commits suicide and his sister reads the file on his last patient, an OCD man named N.This was my second time reading this book, and I have to say, this book is a far more accomplished body of work than I originally gave it credit for. These stories cover a broad and at times profound range of topics and genres, each written in Stephen King's typically dark, humorous and intelligent style, which I have grown to love. Milky Way camera settings are pretty simple, but they may require a little tinkering depending on your camera and location. With a wide angle lens, a good starting point is to open your aperture as wide as possible, set your ISO to 3200, and set your shutter speed to 20 seconds. From here, you may need to adjust the settings to match your environment, but probably not by too much in any direction. We have all had moments where we promise to get into exercise or alternatively, we get into it and it becomes an obsession. This is Stephen King's brilliant take on those observations. In our schedule, remember that when measuring the angular separation between two celestial objects, your clenched fist held at arm’s length measures roughly 10 degrees. Here, we present a schedule below which provides some of the best planet viewing times as well directing you as to where to look to see them.

That being said, I have a lot of complaints about this book. In the early stories in the collection, SK almost seems like a parody of his thirty-years-earlier self that wrote the dark, more seriously-toned stories of Night Shift, injecting awkward humour and jokes, along with lax, crude prose (e.g. descriptions such as: "man-tits") and short forms of words that almost seem like street slang into the stories. This gave the early stories a comedic and oddly relaxed undertone, which I didn't care for and found to be very un-Stephen-King-like. His stories usually have at least some pervading sense of dread, and that was largely missing here. A Very Tight Place: A man is trapped inside a portable toilet by his neighbour, with whom he is having a legal dispute. Well, so what? Amtrak would hold their luggage in San Francisco; surely they could be trusted to get that much right. He and Willa could find the local bus station. Greyhound must have discovered Wyoming. You can see this concept at play in the image under the aperture heading. Here, the lens is set to f/2.8, but since I’m focused much closer to the camera, the stars and landscape behind the focus point have fallen out of the in-focus region.As I briefly mentioned earlier, there is a Sunset Notes section at the end of the book, where King provides brief notes on each story, outlining how he got the idea and why he wrote the story. Though mildly interesting, it didn't really add much to what was overall a pretty mediocre collection of stories. Rest Stop, about a traveler who stops at a rest stop and is unwillingly involved in a domestic dispute. King has always written with sympathy although not much finesse about women who are victims of abuse. Gingerbread Girl: After leaving her husband, Emily takes up running on the beach. Her life is turning around until she runs afoul of killer! Willa laughed. It was a weary sound. “You remind me of the old guy who used to sell the oatmeal on TV.”
