The light fades quickly these days so my dress-up shoots only last 2 - 3 hours after a morning's prep dithers into early afternoon. So there's even less chance to take a time-out (and go bid on eBay) half way through. Anyway the amazing shoes I'd seen last night would go for a whole lot, so there was no real point. So post shoot and the light is gone and dresses and skirts and tops are scattered everywhere and I set the camera to download and had a peek on eBay. They went for a ultra cheap £2.20. Oh. Obviously (?) there are far more significant disheartening events in the world but ouch! E-ow.
