The Land of Wizards & Witches

The Land of Wizards & Witches

'Images of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter'

<a href="http://blur.by/1dxbiVd" rel="nofollow">The Land of Wizards & Witches:  Images of 'The Wizarding World of Harry Potter'</a> on Blurb!!!!

Finally finished my 1st Blurb book!!!  Yeah, it seems like a Disney book would've been the obvious choice for me.  But I kinda wanted to focus on something that was a little "underrepresented".  Plus, with trying to figure out how this whole book process would work out, it was nice to not have to weed through thousands of pics of say "EPCOT" or something.  And since I don't have a Universal pass anymore, I didn't have the stress of "I need to head over to get this shot for the book".  I had what I had (which was enough... I guess).

I made the book with Lightroom 4.  And although I read that the Book module isn't as great as Blurb's own software; I felt it did the job decent enough.  I mainly only had issue with photo size/placement; but it's nothing I'm kicking myself over.

But I'm very happy with the actual quality of the book.  I'll definitely be using Blurb again.  And because the books are pricier than I would've liked, I'll also be looking into eBook versions of this and other projects.

Check it out if you get a chance!!!!

Hogsmeade's Hog's Head;

Hog's Head Pub... get your beer (Butter or otherwise) here!!!!  Wanna get a soda instead???  Well, you better head out of Hogsmeade.  The wizarding communitiy does not partake in the downing of those beverages.  Seriously, they don't.

On another note; I wish there were replicas of this sign for sale.  I'm sure it would grace the wall of many a Potter geek.  This one included... if my wife permits.  ;)
