Title is a reference to the amount of fiddling that got me to this point. Many lessons learned, main one being to use dark background and wear light clothes/be in the light (first attempts were the opposite) and that it's necessary to stay in each discrete position for some period of time. Oh, and make sure that the dog food is not in the frame. I can see that a longer shirt might have produced a more elegant result and that the edge of the dark background cuts the top version of me in half. But... no more fiddling with this because I've got to leave for work shortly.
