I had a bit of time today and wanted to shoot a few more photos over by the rock wall I used in my previous shoot.  I hope you all enjoy the images.

Actually, I think this is my favorite photo of the set.

That Rattlesnake had better slither off before Kamiko gets annoyed and decides it to make a rattlesnake stew of it.

Where the heck did she find a cold beer in this place?

"Mmmmm!  This Bud's for me!" Kamiko seems to be saying.

great outdoor shoots! There's not a lot of place in my area that i can do that, without inviting stares, with kids possibly asking their parents : mom, can i play with that doll??

Thanks.  That's always a threat here as there is a big kids sandbox just the other side of the rocks. These were shot in a public park.

Thank-you. I was in fact, very pleased with the results myself, and very encouraged. There are a lot of challenges to shooting outdoors, but if you can overcome them, the results can be very pleasing aesthetically.

I agree, these are great. The sneaking around the rock photos were very realistic. But is this bud a coke can? Smile

I'm glad you like them. I'm beginning to get the hang of shooting outdoors. The beer can is a Budweiser from this ebay bought set. Probably special promotional or commemorative graphics on the can.

Such a killer photo set! Love these a lot. That second shot is my absolute favorite, and the way her hip is cocked and she's leaning looks so natural and realistic.

I feel like evaporative cooling refrigeration, or pot-in-pot refrigeration would be great in post apocalyptic situations, and would definitely work to keep her beer cold.

Oh, I think they have solar panels for electrical power and a small refrigerator. I think maybe there's a small ice cooler in the back of her jeep or something.

That totally makes sense too. Civilization can crumble as long as I can still have cold beer.

Normally, Kamiko would prefer a vodka martini, but out in the field, cold beer is acceptable.

Thank-you Peaches. Photography of the figures is the main reason I collect them, and in case I haven't mentioned it, I was trained in a major commercial photography school.  However like everything else, there is a bit of a learning curve to master when shooting down at this scale; you have to develop an eye for backgrounds that won't look too out of scale and you have to frame your photos in a way that keeps out elements that might give away the illusion. Finally, shallow depth of field is your friend; blurring out backgrounds is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also helps maintain the illusion.

Yes, great work in creating the illusion of the right scale. One large stone or leaf can destroy a lot.

I also like your attention to wristjoint covering. Maybe you can get her a Seiko watch. And kneepads, maybe.

I did get some knee pads for Kamiko and the others, but didn't think the set I got was all that well thought out, so I'm going to try another brand.
