To achieve a shallow depth of field in your photographs and create that beautiful background blur (bokeh) effect, follow these steps: 1. Use a Wide Aperture. 2. Use a Large Sensor Camera. 3. Get Closer to Your Subject. 4. Use a Telephoto Lens. 5. Increase the Focal Length. 6. Focus on the Subject. 7. Lower ISO and Use a Tripod. 8. Use ND Filters. 9. Shoot in Aperture Priority or Manual Mode. 10. Experiment and Practice. Remember that the exact settings and techniques may vary depending on your camera and lens, so it's essential to familiarise yourself with your specific gear. Additionally, the distance between your subject and the background, as well as the quality of the background (e.g., distant lights or foliage), can also impact the quality of the bokeh effect. I'm looking to have more guests on the podcast to provide you with more value. With that in mind, if you work within the creative space and would like to have a conversation about what you do and the benefits it offers others, get in touch and let's have a conversation.

Niece: The GGK Girls take more interest in Jakeby musicankane - listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.After Alexis left, Jake lay in bed for a while staring up at the ceiling and thought about his sudden womanly success. It was so sudden and out of nowhere that he couldn't believe that it had really happened. Though the wet spot between his legs proved that it was. However Jake couldn't help feel like something was off.This kind of thing didn't happen to him, he was a nerd, a geek, a Dungeons and Dragons dungeon master, girls didn't just approach him the way Alexis did. And he certainly didn't have the courage to approach them. While he was thankful to finally have gotten rid of his V-card, the whole thing smelt fishy.Finally he sat up in the bed and shifted over to the restroom to clean himself with a towel and wash his face. Alexis had mentioned GGK, one of the craziest sororities on campus. GGK was the place every girl wanted to be a part of, and every guy wanted to party at. But it was exclusive, in a sense. GGK had a reputation for only accepting the hottest of the hot when it came to their sisterhood. Alexis would certainly fit that bill in Jake's opinion, but with GGK's standards who knew.Then something occurred to him. Alexis had wanted a picture of his....package, she had played it off as a sexy little fun thing, but she also was very deliberate about the picture she took. Most frats liked to haze their new pledges; it was officially banned on campus but that didn't stop anyone. It was one of those rule that the college had to have written on paper to look good, but nobody ever actually enforced it as far as Jake had ever heard. If a girl like Alexis was trying to get into GGK, then what kind of hazing would a frat of incredibly hot girls make a new pledge do?Maybe get a dick pic from a dork. Something to hold over the new girl as leverage. Something to use later to embarrass her should she step out of line down the road?Jake felt a pit in his stomach, he had been used. He had to have been. But if that had been the case, then why would Alexis come back to pop his cherry? Unless the picture she took wasn't good enough and they demanded more form her. But she hadn't taken any pictures, at least any that he was aware of, while they were doing the dirty. So that part didn't add up.Rather than debate on it in his head, Jake decided to try and get answered from GGK itself. Jake quickly got dressed and made his way over to the GGK house which was quite a walk from his dorm. Alexis had invited him to a party tomorrow, but even from down the block Jake could hear music thumping from the direction of the frat house. GGK was a party every day of the week if they could get away with it.Well at least he wouldn't be waking anyone up. He wondered if Alexis was already there, or if she wasn't allowed entry until she was officially a member.Jake stood out front for a minute, just looking at the house, the music loud enough now to nearly deafen him from his own thoughts. Inside he could see the shapes of people dancing, or mingling together. What was he doing here? Really? Who would he even ask about Alexis, and would they even give him any kind of answer? Hell there was a strong possibility that whomever answered the door would simply laugh in his face and shut the door on him."Are you hazing Alexis? Did you make her fuck me to become a pledge?" Jake rattled the questions through his head. "Why? Why me?" Though the answer to that was that he was an obvious target, and putting a new pledge on him would be very embarrassing. Especially if Alexis already had a boyfriend. Embarrass her, her boyfriend, and make her a cheater on top of all of it. It would be enough dirt to hold over anyone's head. It also sounded really fucked up.Jake thought about walking away and forgetting it. What did it matter to him anyway? He would never have a chance with someone as stunningly hot as Alexis normally, and if they had picked him to be her target then, well good for him he figured.He turned away from the door, but in the same motion spun right back around and returned to facing the house. No it wasn't right. Right?He didn't realize he had walked up to the door, until he was already reaching for the bell. His finger hesitated right over the button for a moment, before he sighed and pressed it. Whether or not the bell worked he couldn't tell. The music was so loud that anyone hearing the ring would be a miracle, let alone figuring out it was the doorbell.Yet despite that, it didn't take more than thirty seconds before someone opened the door.Jake blinked at the woman who trust open the door. She was tall, at least an inch or two taller than him even, with long flowing raven black hair and icy blue eyes. Her figure was basically insanity, slim, fit, tight, long legs, flat flawless stomach, and full firm honeydew sized breasts. She was stunning, as per GGK law, and even could put Alexis to shame."Who the fuck?" She started, holding a red solo cup. At first her face was nothing but annoyance, how dare someone uninvited disturb her party. But her face quickly changed as she got a good look at him. Her gaze ran over Jake up and down which made him turn a little red, the way her face shifted into a smirk and her eyes seemed fill with mischief told him that Alexis had taken the picture to the sorority. He had never felt so embarrassed, or ashamed.The woman's tone changed as well, "Oh well look at what we have here. Mr. Baseball Bat." She said in a teasing tone. Her stance shifted as she moved her weight to lean against the open door frame. "What brings you here, Tripod?" She asked still with a hint of teasing mischief.Jake opened his mouth and closed it, trying to think of the right thing to say. "I...uh....is Alexis here?" He asked, wincing in his head for not being able to come out and ask what he really wanted to ask. Though this was a good first step. Who was Mr. Baseball Bat?The woman glanced back to the party going on loudly behind her. Then back to him, "Sorry no. She's not official yet and only full members and invitees allowed tonight. We are having an opening night party tomorrow and she'll be here then though."Jake nodded, "Yeah I heard about that." He muttered. "Okay um...so she isn't an official member then, but she's trying to be?"The woman smirked again and gave him a look. "I think you and I both know that answer don't we? Why don't you man up and tell me why you're here Jake."That surprised him, she knew his name though he was fairly certain....actually he was one-hundred percent positive he had never spoken to this girl before. Though perhaps she knew him from a class and he never noticed, though looking at her now he didn't think she could be anywhere near him and not have him notice her. But there was a chance if she passes him while in the middle of school work or preparing a D&D game."What do you mean?" He asked her.She rolled her eyes and stepped out of the door towards him. "You're here to see if Alexis was just fucking with you right? To see if she was using you like a little....err maybe not so little guinea pig." She place a finger on his chest. "The answer to that is, yes, we've all seen you." She pushed herself close to him, so close that her scent invaded into his nose and clouded his mind. She smelt of vanilla and a little bit of Jack Daniels, and the combination gave him a heady rush.Then she stepped back to the door and crossed her arms as she leaned back against the frame. "The question is, what do you plan to do about it?" She asked."NIECE!" Came another girl's voice from inside. A bubbly brunette bobbed into view from around the tall woman. "Hey what are you.....?" She started asked, but stopped short when she saw Jake standing there looking like a confused little lamb. "Oh....is this?"Niece nodded, "That's him. Who would have ever guessed huh?"The other girl smiled at Jake up and down, licking her lips as she did so. Then she tapped frantically on Niece's arm. "Oh let's invite him in! I want to play with him."Niece raised an eyebrow, not to the other girl but to Jake. "You hear that? You've become quite popular, and there are so many willing to play." Her smile almost became evil. "We can teach you a much better game than that Dragons and Douchebags you like."The other girl darted forward and grabbed Jake's arm. "Oh come on big boy, let's have fun!" She insisted.Jake only stared at Niece, "What world did I walk into?"Niece shrugged and stepped aside of the door. "Only one way to find out isn't there?" She gestured invitingly towards the door to him.A pit of dread seemed to build within him, like the devil was invited him into a house of sin. Not that he thought that sex or anything like that was sinful, the way this was playing out had a forbidden flavor that he couldn't shake. And as the other girl tugged at his arm, pulling him towards the door, it was also something he couldn't resist.As he passed the threshold to the GGK house. The smell of a million hot girl perfumes, and truckloads of booze filled his nose. It smelt like what he imagined a strip club would smell like. They had dim lighting all over the house, with colored strobes of purple, pink, red, and blue flashing over the walls. The music beat at him like a drum, pounding into his head until he was damn near senseless.The brunette holding his arm let him go and slapped his chest, "I'm gonna get you a drink." She announced loudly and bounced away before Jake could tell her he didn't drink."What do you think?" Niece asked.Jake glanced at her, "It's....a lot." He admitted. "Not something I'm exactly used to." He turned to her and asked, "Look I just came to ask if you guys are the reason behind Alexis' sudden.....interest in a geek like me."Niece polished off whatever she had in her solo cup and set it on a random table nearby. "Look, Jake it's the way of things here. We put all new recruits through initiation to prove they want to be here. Sometimes that means making them do something with a random selected person." She told him simply. "But the ‘something', is a task which usually is a delight for the guy, and you looked pretty happy to be in that picture if your rigid dick is anything to go by." She grinned.Jake blinked in disbelief, "You made Alexis have sex with me just to join the sorority?" He asked.Niece frowned. "Sex?" She shook her head, "No, just a dick pic." She paused with a grin, "Wait did she sleep with you?" She asked excitedly.Jake blinked at her with a confused look. The silent pause took too long.That was all Niece needed, "Oh!" She laughed in delight. "Well, how was it, big boy? Could she walk away afterward?"Before Jake could blushingly reply, the other girl rushed up with a cup filled with some sort of bubbling brown beer. "Here you go big man." She said happily."Galina, you're not going to believe it." Niece said, "Alexis actually fucked him."Galina brightened noticeably, which was a feat considering her already bubbly happy demeanor. "No way, really!?" She exclaimed turning back to Jake. "How was it? Did you have fun? What's she like in bed?" How sore was she, afterward? She asked in rapid succession.Jake looked between the two, Jake is an intelligent man, but social wits around beautiful women still lacked in his skill-set; "I uh, I don't really know."Niece gave him an incredulous look, "You don't know if it was good?"Jake shook his head, "No....err...I mean yeah it was awesome but, I only ever did it the one time so I...""Wait!" Niece roared, stepping closer to him, "You were a virgin? She ‘deflowered' you?"Jake scoffed, glancing around wildly, what had he gotten himself into? He needed to escape and quickly, this was going exceptionally poorly and nothing at all like he had planned. And he feared that if he said anymore not only would he embarrass himself further but he might also screw Alexis out of her position in Gamma Gamma Kappa....or worse yet make her hate him. He didn't want that, despite the truth now being out that she only spoke with him in the first place because of GGK, he had also learned that she hadn't been pressured into the sex. Which meant Alexis did like him. At least somewhat....it was strange."Holy shit he was!" Niece said teasingly, elbowing Galina. "I can't believe that, with a package like what he's hiding I don't understand how that's possible." She paused, "Oh wait never mind, I know why."Galina moved up against Jake's side and leaning into him, "If I had known you were such a big boy, I would have taken care of you Freshman year." She told him with a promise.Jake frowned and wiggled out of her grip. "Yeah that's great to know. Look I just came here to find out the truth and I did, I guess, so thank you for that and I'm going to head back now." He pushed the solo cup Galina has given him back into her hands and backed away.Niece moved over to the door and blocked it from him. "Now, now wait a minute." She told him. "Alexis didn't tell you about her final trial did she?"Jake took a breath, "What final trial? I didn't even know about the first one.""Well Alexis is supposed to bring you to a party tomorrow, did she tell you about that?"He nodded, "Well she invited me yeah.""Did she tell you that she has to bring you here and have a little contest with me?" She asked and shook her head, "Of course she didn't. You see she and I are going to have a little race tomorrow night, which one of us can get you upstairs to fuck like wild animals first. Isn't that awesome?"Jake was dumbfounded, "Why would that be awesome? Wait you guys are going to pass me around like a....""Sex toy, yes." Niece finished.Jake frowned."Oh what's the problem?" She asked, moving her hands to her hips, "You haven't gotten lucky with girls like us before right? Now's your chance big man." She raised her hands, lifting her crop top up enough to reveal her toned stomach. "You don't wanna fuck me?" She asked teasingly. Letting her shirt go, she leaned forward towards him, squeezing her arms together causing her breasts to heave and show him as much cleavage as she possible could. "I'll take you up to my room right now, and you can do whatever you want to me."Jake was at a loss, unsure if this was real or if he had fallen asleep back in his room and he was just dreaming this. "I don't even know you." He stammered."Oh I'm Niece, I'm the sorority head (giving) chairman, and this here is Galina who you can have too if you want." Niece straightened up and gestured back towards the other girl, who licked her lips heavily when Jake glanced back. The look sent shivers down his spine.He turned back to Niece, "Look I don't know about any of this, I'm not the kind of guy who does this. I wasn't the kind of guy that didn't anything even close to this up until tonight." He explained. It was like he had gone from a nobody to Hugh Heffner in a matter of twenty four hours. Two days ago he was a nerdy virgin with no female prospects, to tonight in which he had his pick of several. Not just average or even nerdy girls either, but top shelf model caliber women. It was a sexual overload. He had thought his luck with Alexis had been enough, but her little GGK assignment had cracked open an entire realm to him.There woman all seemed to have nicknames for him to, "Big Man", "Mr. Baseball Bat". Now that he thought about it, and put it together with the picture and....wait a second. They only were after him because of his dick!The realization hit him like a shovel to the face. "Oh!" He gasped. Looking back and forth between the girls. "You just want to see my dick don't you?"Niece laughed and Galina giggled, "See it? I don't want to just see it. I want to FUCK it." She insisted."I'd settle for seeing it though." Galina said, "I'd rather do more, but I'll take what I can get."Jake shook his head. "I can't believe this is happening." He was clearly overwhelmed."And I can't believe you've got a firehose in your pants. The world is a crazy place Jake." Niece explained. "Look buddy let me spell this out for you since we've clearly broken your fucking mind. You were honestly just going to be a joke we could use to hold over Alexis' head whenever we felt like hazing the new bitch. Turn out fate is fucking with us and the random dude we picked for her, ended up having a dick that would make most porn stars jealous. So now, the GGK sluts are very interested in fucking with you."She stopped for a moment and stepped towards him, putting a hand on his cheek. "You want my advice? Just roll with it and enjoy, because this only happens to one in a million guys. You hit the lottery bucko, roll with it." She told him.Well this girl clearly knew what she was doing and she made very smart points. Things like this only happened to guys like him in pornos, or fantasies. Jake was conflicted though. What if Alexis really liked him for whatever reason? Niece had said herself that they had never told her to sleep with him. So Alexis had done that of her own volition.Then again maybe she was of the same mindset of these girls here. Niece and the bubbly brunette Galina didn't know shit about him and they didn't seem to care. All they knew was that he apparently had a rather substantially impressive "baseball bat". That alone had them wanting to give him a try. And if they wanted to just give him a try, then why wouldn't Alexis have been of the same mindset? She just had been in a position to take advantage of him in the moment. She had made him believe she wanted him.Jake's head hurt, and he looked around. Niece was stunning, Galina was just as stunning. Galina herself was shorter, but her body was just as incredible. Jake had gone from no possible female attention, to being overwhelmed with potential. Not just womanly attention, but attention from practical goddesses. These GGK girls were like a coalition of the hottest girls from around the country.Galina shifted around to stand next to Niece. "I think you broke him."Niece gave a concerned look, "Poor guy has never had options before, he doesn't know what to do with himself."Jake grimaced, she wasn't wrong. As tempted as he might be he couldn't, he didn't want his first possible relationship with someone to end because he couldn't go ten hours without sticking his dick into the next thing that offered. He sighed and hung his head apologetically. "Yeah I can't do this. I don't know what the deal is with Alexis and maybe it's nothing, but if it isn't I don't wanna be that guy who fucks it up in the first damn day."Niece looked him over thoughtfully and clicked her tongue. "Noble." She said, "Alright if you change your mind, you know where to find me.""Us." Galina corrected with a smirk.Niece opened the front door again and motioned Jake was free to go. As he walked by her she reached out and grabbed his arm to stop him for a moment. "I did mean it when I said you could do whatever you wanted to me. Even creampie me if you wanted." She told him with a heated, lusty voice. "Just think about that."Jake felt trembles of lust rush through him. He didn't trust himself to say anything so he merely nodded and walked away.By the time he got back to his room he was exhausted. That conversation had not gone the way he had expected, and it took a lot out of him mentally. He staggered into his room and kicked the door shut before collapsing upon his bed.The next morning Alexis woke up in her temporary room with a pleasant soreness between her legs. That night with Jake had indeed been wonderful and unlike anything she had ever experienced before. She rolled out of her bed and staggered to the bathroom, surprised at how weak her legs felt. Jake was indeed huge and he pushed her body to the limit without knowing it. It had given her a heady rush that she wanted more of, and this was the first time after sleeping with any guy that she had a hard time walking the next morning.She began to giggle to herself as she checked herself out in the bathroom. Her loins ached and yet she burned for more. As she brushed her teeth she remembered her new pills that where in her toiletry bag, quickly she took one and took the pill box out of the temp bag and moved it to her school bag so that she would always have it nearby. She wanted more of Jake in a way she hadn't wanted more of any guy before him, maybe it was just lust, but there was something to him that she liked though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.Didn't matter, tonight was a shoe it. Everything was going to work out in her favor. She was suddenly thankful that GGK had led her to Jake, in an initiation that would have normally been gross and disgusting, things turned out to be actually really great. Now she had Jake and all she had to do was fuck him again at the party tonight and she would not only have the guy with the literal biggest dick on campus, but she would also be a shoe-in for GGK membership. It couldn't be more perfect.Alexis finished up in the bathroom, doing her hair, putting make-up on, then glanced at her phone. FUCK! She realized she was going to be late for class if she didn't get her act in gear. She darted out into the dorm room, and face planted into the floor as her legs refuse to behave. She laughed, and steeled herself, dressed quickly before jerking her door open to head to class.She stopped short as a tall figure stood in her doorway, blocking her exit. A stunningly well-made Niece stood there smiling at her. Considering the late night Niece herself had, it was a miracle that she was not only up this early but also already dolled up and out the door.Alexis skidded to a halt with a gasp, "Niece! Why. What are you doing here?"Niece ran her finger gingerly down the wood of the doorframe. "I came to talk to you about your new boy toy." She explained. "You know the contest tonight really isn't fair is it?"Alexis blinked, "What do you mean?""Well you know this whole thing of trying to seduce Jake at the party, and getting laid at the GGK house. I mean that's kind of ridiculous isn't, especially since you have such a huge advantage already." Niece explained."Advantage?"Niece gave her a look, "I know you already fucked him. Alexis that's cheating."Alexis froze, feeling her chances of getting into GGK slipping away. "Niece I...""Jake came to the house last night, asking about you. He wanted to know what about you. So I told him that he was nothing more than your initiation. But he let it slip that you did much more than just your assignment didn't you?" She glared at Alexis. "You wanted to ensure that Jake would be bias towards you tonight, so you fucked him early to get a head start."Alexis backed up, "Now wait a second. I....didn't mean it like that.""And you know what!?" Niece roared, stepping towards the smaller girl. "It worked! It fucking worked, you dumb bitch. Ugh!" Niece huffed. "Galina and I both tried to get him to bed last night. And that fucking nerd said no."Alexis brightened a little. Jake had a chance to be with another GGK and he turned her down. She couldn't believe he would do such a thing, few guys would, but Jake had....And he probably did it because of her. "He did?"Niece spun away and slapped the wall, "Bah, leave it to a nerd to be the only loyal guy on campus! Ask any other dude here and they'll always be DTF even if they've got a girl already. But captain huge dick has to be a legit good guy, seriously?" Niece sounded genuinely surprised and annoyed at the same time.She spun back towards Alexis, "I even offered to let him cum in me. Still walked away. Can you believe it?"Alexis shook her head, "Wow Niece, I don't know what to say. But I....I mean, what now? Am I just screwed out of GGK or is there something else or...?" Alexis was a bit surprised that Jake went looking in on her, even more surprised to hear what Niece tried and failed to do. Though if she was honest she had expect Jake to catch wise to at least some of her manipulation by the sorority, she'd come onto him really strong all things considered. So she didn't begrudge him that. But now she feared that the whole purpose behind it would be lost.Niece stared at her in silence for a long time before finally speaking up. "No. No I have another idea now. Jake's rejection bothered me, nobody rejects me!" She huffed and flared out her huge chest as if to prove the point. "So instead of the contest tonight, you have a new task. You are going to get him inside me." She told her."Inside you? You mean you want me to get him to have sex with you?"Niece grinned, "Exactly. See he thinks that little sex you had last night means you two are an item, and something tells me he'd be too tough of a nut to crack if he continues to believe that. So you are going to encourage him to spread his wings, sow his wild oats, and I'll be the one to catch the first spray." Niece explained. "You do that, and we pledge you."Alexis felt more pained by that than she had expected. Maybe she really did like Jake more than even she realized. And she certainly didn't like the idea of him fucking any of the other GGK girls. What if he ended up liking one of them better than her? What if they turned him into a cocky asshole? What if she wanted him to herself?The question was......did she want GGK membership more than she wanted Jake. If you had asked her yesterday she would have said yes......but now....she wasn't so sure. GGK had been her plan all summer, it would define the rest of her college schooling.Niece had now put her between a rock and a hard-on. She had no idea how Jake would take this suggestion and there was a chance it would ruin any chance of the two of them being together. But GGK had been make-or-break for her, for the last year. Call it shallow, call it slutty, call it whatever, Alexis didn't want to be a nobody. She's worked too hard in high school to just throw it all away now.Besides she's only known Jake for a couple days, it's not like there was an expectation of anything from that. People had one-night stands all the time. Maybe it would be for the best to not string Jake along and let him get all smitten over her. Who knew what else this campus had to offer after all.Alexis sighed, "Fine. I'll do my best."Niece smiled and gave Alexis a little slap on the cheek. "Great, glad to see the commitment to GGK, I think you'll be a great pledge. Don't fail me now." She winked and spun around to disappear down the hall.Alexis stood there in shock for a moment, she had the feeling of selling her soul to the devil. She was still late for class though, even more so now. "Shit." She muttered and raced out the door.To be continued.by musicankane for Literotica

Niece: The GGK Girls take more interest in Jakeby musicankane - listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories.After Alexis left, Jake lay in bed for a while staring up at the ceiling and thought about his sudden womanly success. It was so sudden and out of nowhere that he couldn’t believe that it had really happened. Though the wet spot between his legs proved that it was. However Jake couldn’t help feel like something was off.This kind of thing didn’t happen to him, he was a nerd, a geek, a Dungeons and Dragons dungeon master, girls didn’t just approach him the way Alexis did. And he certainly didn’t have the courage to approach them. While he was thankful to finally have gotten rid of his V-card, the whole thing smelt fishy.Finally he sat up in the bed and shifted over to the restroom to clean himself with a towel and wash his face. Alexis had mentioned GGK, one of the craziest sororities on campus. GGK was the place every girl wanted to be a part of, and every guy wanted to party at. But it was exclusive, in a sense. GGK had a reputation for only accepting the hottest of the hot when it came to their sisterhood. Alexis would certainly fit that bill in Jake’s opinion, but with GGK’s standards who knew.Then something occurred to him. Alexis had wanted a picture of his….package, she had played it off as a sexy little fun thing, but she also was very deliberate about the picture she took. Most frats liked to haze their new pledges; it was officially banned on campus but that didn’t stop anyone. It was one of those rule that the college had to have written on paper to look good, but nobody ever actually enforced it as far as Jake had ever heard. If a girl like Alexis was trying to get into GGK, then what kind of hazing would a frat of incredibly hot girls make a new pledge do?Maybe get a dick pic from a dork. Something to hold over the new girl as leverage. Something to use later to embarrass her should she step out of line down the road?Jake felt a pit in his stomach, he had been used. He had to have been. But if that had been the case, then why would Alexis come back to pop his cherry? Unless the picture she took wasn’t good enough and they demanded more form her. But she hadn’t taken any pictures, at least any that he was aware of, while they were doing the dirty. So that part didn’t add up.Rather than debate on it in his head, Jake decided to try and get answered from GGK itself. Jake quickly got dressed and made his way over to the GGK house which was quite a walk from his dorm. Alexis had invited him to a party tomorrow, but even from down the block Jake could hear music thumping from the direction of the frat house. GGK was a party every day of the week if they could get away with it.Well at least he wouldn’t be waking anyone up. He wondered if Alexis was already there, or if she wasn’t allowed entry until she was officially a member.Jake stood out front for a minute, just looking at the house, the music loud enough now to nearly deafen him from his own thoughts. Inside he could see the shapes of people dancing, or mingling together. What was he doing here? Really? Who would he even ask about Alexis, and would they even give him any kind of answer? Hell there was a strong possibility that whomever answered the door would simply laugh in his face and shut the door on him.“Are you hazing Alexis? Did you make her fuck me to become a pledge?” Jake rattled the questions through his head. “Why? Why me?” Though the answer to that was that he was an obvious target, and putting a new pledge on him would be very embarrassing. Especially if Alexis already had a boyfriend. Embarrass her, her boyfriend, and make her a cheater on top of all of it. It would be enough dirt to hold over anyone’s head. It also sounded really fucked up.Jake thought about walking away and forgetting it. What did it matter to him anyway? He would never have a chance with someone as stunningly hot as Alexis normally, and if they had picked him to be her target then, well good for him he figured.He turned away from the door, but in the same motion spun right back around and returned to facing the house. No it wasn’t right. Right?He didn’t realize he had walked up to the door, until he was already reaching for the bell. His finger hesitated right over the button for a moment, before he sighed and pressed it. Whether or not the bell worked he couldn’t tell. The music was so loud that anyone hearing the ring would be a miracle, let alone figuring out it was the doorbell.Yet despite that, it didn’t take more than thirty seconds before someone opened the door.Jake blinked at the woman who trust open the door. She was tall, at least an inch or two taller than him even, with long flowing raven black hair and icy blue eyes. Her figure was basically insanity, slim, fit, tight, long legs, flat flawless stomach, and full firm honeydew sized breasts. She was stunning, as per GGK law, and even could put Alexis to shame.“Who the fuck?” She started, holding a red solo cup. At first her face was nothing but annoyance, how dare someone uninvited disturb her party. But her face quickly changed as she got a good look at him. Her gaze ran over Jake up and down which made him turn a little red, the way her face shifted into a smirk and her eyes seemed fill with mischief told him that Alexis had taken the picture to the sorority. He had never felt so embarrassed, or ashamed.The woman’s tone changed as well, “Oh well look at what we have here. Mr. Baseball Bat.” She said in a teasing tone. Her stance shifted as she moved her weight to lean against the open door frame. “What brings you here, Tripod?” She asked still with a hint of teasing mischief.Jake opened his mouth and closed it, trying to think of the right thing to say. “I…uh….is Alexis here?” He asked, wincing in his head for not being able to come out and ask what he really wanted to ask. Though this was a good first step. Who was Mr. Baseball Bat?The woman glanced back to the party going on loudly behind her. Then back to him, “Sorry no. She’s not official yet and only full members and invitees allowed tonight. We are having an opening night party tomorrow and she’ll be here then though.”Jake nodded, “Yeah I heard about that.” He muttered. “Okay um…so she isn’t an official member then, but she’s trying to be?”The woman smirked again and gave him a look. “I think you and I both know that answer don’t we? Why don’t you man up and tell me why you’re here Jake.”That surprised him, she knew his name though he was fairly certain….actually he was one-hundred percent positive he had never spoken to this girl before. Though perhaps she knew him from a class and he never noticed, though looking at her now he didn’t think she could be anywhere near him and not have him notice her. But there was a chance if she passes him while in the middle of school work or preparing a D&D game.“What do you mean?” He asked her.She rolled her eyes and stepped out of the door towards him. “You’re here to see if Alexis was just fucking with you right? To see if she was using you like a little….err maybe not so little guinea pig.” She place a finger on his chest. “The answer to that is, yes, we’ve all seen you.” She pushed herself close to him, so close that her scent invaded into his nose and clouded his mind. She smelt of vanilla and a little bit of Jack Daniels, and the combination gave him a heady rush.Then she stepped back to the door and crossed her arms as she leaned back against the frame. “The question is, what do you plan to do about it?” She asked.“NIECE!” Came another girl’s voice from inside. A bubbly brunette bobbed into view from around the tall woman. “Hey what are you…..?” She started asked, but stopped short when she saw Jake standing there looking like a confused little lamb. “Oh….is this?”Niece nodded, “That’s him. Who would have ever guessed huh?”The other girl smiled at Jake up and down, licking her lips as she did so. Then she tapped frantically on Niece’s arm. “Oh let’s invite him in! I want to play with him.”Niece raised an eyebrow, not to the other girl but to Jake. “You hear that? You’ve become quite popular, and there are so many willing to play.” Her smile almost became evil. “We can teach you a much better game than that Dragons and Douchebags you like.”The other girl darted forward and grabbed Jake’s arm. “Oh come on big boy, let’s have fun!” She insisted.Jake only stared at Niece, “What world did I walk into?”Niece shrugged and stepped aside of the door. “Only one way to find out isn’t there?” She gestured invitingly towards the door to him.A pit of dread seemed to build within him, like the devil was invited him into a house of sin. Not that he thought that sex or anything like that was sinful, the way this was playing out had a forbidden flavor that he couldn’t shake. And as the other girl tugged at his arm, pulling him towards the door, it was also something he couldn’t resist.As he passed the threshold to the GGK house. The smell of a million hot girl perfumes, and truckloads of booze filled his nose. It smelt like what he imagined a strip club would smell like. They had dim lighting all over the house, with colored strobes of purple, pink, red, and blue flashing over the walls. The music beat at him like a drum, pounding into his head until he was damn near senseless.The brunette holding his arm let him go and slapped his chest, “I’m gonna get you a drink.” She announced loudly and bounced away before Jake could tell her he didn’t drink.“What do you think?” Niece asked.Jake glanced at her, “It’s….a lot.” He admitted. “Not something I’m exactly used to.” He turned to her and asked, “Look I just came to ask if you guys are the reason behind Alexis’ sudden…..interest in a geek like me.”Niece polished off whatever she had in her solo cup and set it on a random table nearby. “Look, Jake it’s the way of things here. We put all new recruits through initiation to prove they want to be here. Sometimes that means making them do something with a random selected person.” She told him simply. “But the ‘something', is a task which usually is a delight for the guy, and you looked pretty happy to be in that picture if your rigid dick is anything to go by.” She grinned.Jake blinked in disbelief, “You made Alexis have sex with me just to join the sorority?” He asked.Niece frowned. “Sex?” She shook her head, “No, just a dick pic.” She paused with a grin, “Wait did she sleep with you?” She asked excitedly.Jake blinked at her with a confused look. The silent pause took too long.That was all Niece needed, “Oh!” She laughed in delight. “Well, how was it, big boy? Could she walk away afterward?”Before Jake could blushingly reply, the other girl rushed up with a cup filled with some sort of bubbling brown beer. “Here you go big man.” She said happily.“Galina, you’re not going to believe it.” Niece said, “Alexis actually fucked him.”Galina brightened noticeably, which was a feat considering her already bubbly happy demeanor. “No way, really!?” She exclaimed turning back to Jake. “How was it? Did you have fun? What’s she like in bed?” How sore was she, afterward? She asked in rapid succession.Jake looked between the two, Jake is an intelligent man, but social wits around beautiful women still lacked in his skill-set; “I uh, I don’t really know.”Niece gave him an incredulous look, “You don’t know if it was good?”Jake shook his head, “No….err…I mean yeah it was awesome but, I only ever did it the one time so I…”“Wait!” Niece roared, stepping closer to him, “You were a virgin? She ‘deflowered' you?”Jake scoffed, glancing around wildly, what had he gotten himself into? He needed to escape and quickly, this was going exceptionally poorly and nothing at all like he had planned. And he feared that if he said anymore not only would he embarrass himself further but he might also screw Alexis out of her position in Gamma Gamma Kappa….or worse yet make her hate him. He didn’t want that, despite the truth now being out that she only spoke with him in the first place because of GGK, he had also learned that she hadn’t been pressured into the sex. Which meant Alexis did like him. At least somewhat….it was strange.“Holy shit he was!” Niece said teasingly, elbowing Galina. “I can’t believe that, with a package like what he’s hiding I don’t understand how that’s possible.” She paused, “Oh wait never mind, I know why.”Galina moved up against Jake’s side and leaning into him, “If I had known you were such a big boy, I would have taken care of you Freshman year.” She told him with a promise.Jake frowned and wiggled out of her grip. “Yeah that’s great to know. Look I just came here to find out the truth and I did, I guess, so thank you for that and I’m going to head back now.” He pushed the solo cup Galina has given him back into her hands and backed away.Niece moved over to the door and blocked it from him. “Now, now wait a minute.” She told him. “Alexis didn’t tell you about her final trial did she?”Jake took a breath, “What final trial? I didn’t even know about the first one.”“Well Alexis is supposed to bring you to a party tomorrow, did she tell you about that?”He nodded, “Well she invited me yeah.”“Did she tell you that she has to bring you here and have a little contest with me?” She asked and shook her head, “Of course she didn’t. You see she and I are going to have a little race tomorrow night, which one of us can get you upstairs to fuck like wild animals first. Isn’t that awesome?”Jake was dumbfounded, “Why would that be awesome? Wait you guys are going to pass me around like a….”“Sex toy, yes.” Niece finished.Jake frowned.“Oh what’s the problem?” She asked, moving her hands to her hips, “You haven’t gotten lucky with girls like us before right? Now’s your chance big man.” She raised her hands, lifting her crop top up enough to reveal her toned stomach. “You don’t wanna fuck me?” She asked teasingly. Letting her shirt go, she leaned forward towards him, squeezing her arms together causing her breasts to heave and show him as much cleavage as she possible could. “I’ll take you up to my room right now, and you can do whatever you want to me.”Jake was at a loss, unsure if this was real or if he had fallen asleep back in his room and he was just dreaming this. “I don’t even know you.” He stammered.“Oh I’m Niece, I’m the sorority head (giving) chairman, and this here is Galina who you can have too if you want.” Niece straightened up and gestured back towards the other girl, who licked her lips heavily when Jake glanced back. The look sent shivers down his spine.He turned back to Niece, “Look I don’t know about any of this, I’m not the kind of guy who does this. I wasn’t the kind of guy that didn’t anything even close to this up until tonight.” He explained. It was like he had gone from a nobody to Hugh Heffner in a matter of twenty four hours. Two days ago he was a nerdy virgin with no female prospects, to tonight in which he had his pick of several. Not just average or even nerdy girls either, but top shelf model caliber women. It was a sexual overload. He had thought his luck with Alexis had been enough, but her little GGK assignment had cracked open an entire realm to him.There woman all seemed to have nicknames for him to, “Big Man”, “Mr. Baseball Bat”. Now that he thought about it, and put it together with the picture and….wait a second. They only were after him because of his dick!The realization hit him like a shovel to the face. “Oh!” He gasped. Looking back and forth between the girls. “You just want to see my dick don’t you?”Niece laughed and Galina giggled, “See it? I don’t want to just see it. I want to FUCK it.” She insisted.“I’d settle for seeing it though.” Galina said, “I’d rather do more, but I’ll take what I can get.”Jake shook his head. “I can’t believe this is happening.” He was clearly overwhelmed.“And I can’t believe you’ve got a firehose in your pants. The world is a crazy place Jake.” Niece explained. “Look buddy let me spell this out for you since we’ve clearly broken your fucking mind. You were honestly just going to be a joke we could use to hold over Alexis’ head whenever we felt like hazing the new bitch. Turn out fate is fucking with us and the random dude we picked for her, ended up having a dick that would make most porn stars jealous. So now, the GGK sluts are very interested in fucking with you.”She stopped for a moment and stepped towards him, putting a hand on his cheek. “You want my advice? Just roll with it and enjoy, because this only happens to one in a million guys. You hit the lottery bucko, roll with it.” She told him.Well this girl clearly knew what she was doing and she made very smart points. Things like this only happened to guys like him in pornos, or fantasies. Jake was conflicted though. What if Alexis really liked him for whatever reason? Niece had said herself that they had never told her to sleep with him. So Alexis had done that of her own volition.Then again maybe she was of the same mindset of these girls here. Niece and the bubbly brunette Galina didn’t know shit about him and they didn’t seem to care. All they knew was that he apparently had a rather substantially impressive “baseball bat”. That alone had them wanting to give him a try. And if they wanted to just give him a try, then why wouldn’t Alexis have been of the same mindset? She just had been in a position to take advantage of him in the moment. She had made him believe she wanted him.Jake’s head hurt, and he looked around. Niece was stunning, Galina was just as stunning. Galina herself was shorter, but her body was just as incredible. Jake had gone from no possible female attention, to being overwhelmed with potential. Not just womanly attention, but attention from practical goddesses. These GGK girls were like a coalition of the hottest girls from around the country.Galina shifted around to stand next to Niece. “I th

In episode 581, Leslie Osborne teaches us how to create high-quality recipe videos using a phone, including what settings to use while recording and how to use artificial lighting correctly. Leslie started her food blog Bessie Bakes in 2015 after going to artisan bread and pastry school in Chicago, IL in 2012. She wanted to have a food-based business but after having her son, she realized that she needed to work from home but still share her recipes and passion for baking. After really struggling with food photography because she couldn't find affordable yet high-quality backdrops, Leslie started learning how to make her own. In 2019 she launched Bessie Bakes Backdrops and began selling her own line of lightweight, cleanable photography backdrops on her own website and Amazon. Along the way, Leslie has personally done all the photography and videography for her products and social media accounts and shares lots of tutorials and behind-the-scenes content on IG and Youtube! In this episode, you'll learn about video filming apps for your phone, using diffusers and bounce cards, making food look delicious and many other tips. Key points discussed: - Film in 4K 60fps: Filming recipe videos in 4K resolution at 60 frames per second can improve the quality and clarity of the footage. - Use a video filming app: Using a dedicated video filming app, rather than the default camera, allows for better control over camera settings like white balance and exposure. - Get close-up shots: Zooming in and positioning the camera close to the food can help make the recipe the star of the video. - Use food styling techniques: Make your food look extra delicious and textured by adding extra sauce, oil, seasoning, dressing etc. - Pay attention to lighting: Proper lighting, whether natural or artificial, is crucial for achieving vibrant colors and textures in recipe videos. - Use diffusers and bounce cards: Using diffusers and bounce cards can help soften and balance the lighting for a more natural look. - Tripods make filming easier: Different types of tripods, from tabletop to C-stands, offer varying levels of stability and flexibility for phone-based recipe videos. - Embrace failure and practice: Mastering videography skills takes time and a willingness to experiment and learn from mistakes.

EP 641: Drew Miles | Tricer USA This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with fellow entrepreneur Drew Miles, who is the visionary behind Tricer USA, a company making waves in the outdoor gear space. In this episode, Drew shares his journey from running his family's sheet metal business for 24 years to pursuing […]
As a trained engineer and experienced outdoorsman, Rydell Reinbold often modified the gear he used for hunting. Then he started designing and producing his own gear, for his own needs. And, eventually, he founded Aziak Equipment to share his work with other hunters. Today, Rydell is the owner, designer, and sole operator at Aziak. We speak with Rydell about the Aziak backstory, his current products, and the future of Aziak. We discuss his current ultralight tripod and head, the limitations of ultralight tripods, the balance of weight vs features, and much more.
