As much as I hate to show the original photo, I love seeing other people do the same, so I'm posting this in kind (thanks Teevio :).
Left: the original photo.
Middle: cropped a bit, removed the lamp, book shelf and stack of papers, cleaned up the background in general.
Right: added a gradient to the background (at 80%), increased the saturation of the background, added noise (at 20%), added a shadow on the left, selected and duplicated myself on a separate layer, then blurred that layer and set it to 10% with the layer mode set to Overlay, then decreased the saturation overall.
This charger didn't have enough tension to hold the batteries properly so by bending the tangs a bit it fixes the problem.
Homemade lens cap on the right.

Sew up your straps and pin them on. Yeah, even attempt to pin them onto the back yourself. Make it criss cross if you'd like.
With my yellow jumper, they were directly sewn on both the front and back. This isn't that hard to get on, except, because they criss cross it gets confusing.
With this one, I sewed them directly onto the front, and put buttons and buttonholes on the back.
Squeeze and lengthen the strip until you can cut it into slices, with a single sided blade, thin enough to produce individual leaves. You can cut slightly thicker pieces for the centre.
Grap piece A and WRONG side up fold the RIGHT side over about ¼“, then fold again, about ¾”. This will be the "casing" where your buttons will go.
Finish the top edge, or measure where it will be so you have a better idea on where to put your buttons.
The trick is to click on the title of the article in the reading pane, THEN click on the bookmark-looking "read it later" button.
Pull out a needle and sew those buttons on!
You are going to sew your buttons inside the "casing." Now, when the bodice is inside out, you can't see the stitches, instead you see the clean right side of the fabric.
I glue each of the 0.188" styrene angle pieces to a corner with Crazy Glue. The glue sets quickly so I had to be sure to drop it in the corner carefully.
I used a pencil to hold it in place while it set. I only need to wait about 30 to 60 seconds.
I just started using black flux for stainless. It rocks. When it's up to temp, it turns clear and it lasts a long time.
The vice grips aren't clamped on there very hard - just enough to make sure the stainless isn't going anywhere while I tack it.
A total of 11 small baskets, 6 medium baskets, and 3 large baskets. Only $40 to organize my entire bathroom stock. :)

I start at the front and work my way back.
You have to be extremely careful to not take anything out of the tubes. It's hard to tell, but if you look at this pic in a larger format, you'll see a very thin line of brass. I'll work it with a fine file when I get close, and then uncover that line with some 80-grit.
This takes a long time.
Soaking in a hot tub is one of the best ways to relax and let go of the tensions of your daily life. But when it’s time to move the hot tub, it can be one of biggest reasons to stress you out. Moving a hot tub is no child’s play because of the size, weight, and the irregular dimensions of the hot...

When you’re fishing a bend in a river, make sure that you fish the water close to you before you cast to the real “lunker water” against the far bank. Start from the tailout and work upstream, beginning at the tailout (A). Next, look for trout near any rocks or structure on the inside of the main current (B). Oftentimes, there will be fish lying right out in the open on the inside of the bend (C); these fish are usually quite wary, so you need to be stealthy and make delicate presentations. Finally, look for fish at the head of the pool (D) where there are rocks that break the current. Caption 2: Just because the guidebooks say that the trophy trout hold in the deep channel or beneath the undercut bank along the outside of a river bend, it’s not unheard of to see big fish finning in the shallows on the inside of the main current.
