No, this present was an exception, I didn't buy it for myself. :)

Kinda lazy photography. Once you've sett the studio for it. Then it's lazy.

just shooting any small thing and they still look awesome, if people say they are not then you just say they don't know art :)

That's true.

A stand solves things. If the object isn't moving, longer shutter speed should solve things.

I've forgotten all about Mana. It's just standing there in the cupboard and only an elf as it's friend. Should do something about that too.
