Description Running outta words

Again not good quality, blurry. I don't know why cameras can't seem to see me.

I've seen pictures of you in sunlight, so you're not a vampire

I agree with scotchy1ca. Your eyes are incredible.

Well the sunlight part of the vampire myth wasn't in the original folklore, it was added later when F.W. Murnau did Nosferatu that he completely ripped off from Bram Stoker. It was one of the few things he changed/added to avoid copyright infringement.

So I guess you never know

Hmmmm, so do you have a reflection? Who originated that part of the folklore?

I think, but I'm sure because I haven't looked it up, it probably comes from when people thought that your reflection showed your soul. Since vampires are vile, despicable (not to mention undead which is most unholy) creatures, they were probably thought to not have souls.
No soul, no reflection.

But that's just my theory

I think your explanation has merit. I'll buy that anyway

Either way, I am a creature of the night.

Beautiful picture. Your eyes are absolutely breathtaking. I would try moving the camera back a bit, autofocus doesn't always work well at close distances. Then you can crop it later if you like. If you have multiple autofocus points set on your camera, switch it to center focus that way the camera will make more of an effort to focus on what is in the center of the frame. I like the softness of that picture but those eyes are too beautiful to be blurry.

Thank you. I was losing light so I had to stay pretty close to the window but then it would focus on the background so I tried moving back to where it was focusing and then it would focus on where I was before. I don't know what the life expectancy for a camera typically is but I realized I've had mine for 6 years now and I'm noticing, despite the different settings I try, I'm not getting the same quality that I used to.
It also fell once, I got it fixed but ever since then the auto focus really hasn't been working well.
