Behind the Scene

We've gone out several times the past few weeks, to enjoy the fall colours, and maybe find a place to take some doll photos.  The photos in the previous postings with Rex and Bianca...

...were taken the same afternoon as the ones with Benny's family.
​Although not in the same place.

When I was done, and Jan was supposed to be helping me clean up,
​he decided to pose the dolls in the back of the car....

So I took a photo.  Then he came up with the idea of having Efreet gathering the pumpkins, with the barn in the background.  But we were too close to the barn to shoot down on the ground.  So Jan suggested posing him on the hood of the car.  Not exactly the flattest place, but okay, I'd give it a try.  But it was so incredibly windy, that the leaves kept on blowing away......

Plus the leaves were hugely out of scale.  But I took some photos anyways....

...and from a different angle with the sun on him....

And while I'm on the topic of 'behind the scenes', there's a few photos from much earlier in the month that I've not shared yet.  It was the afternoon I set up the Fairy gathering on the patio steps.  I asked Jan to make some small posing adjustments, and took a photo....

Then I needed to get a new battery from inside the house, so he sat and kept guard in case any curious birds or squirrels decided to mess with my dolls....

I had been sitting on that bench taking my photos.  The dolls were slightly elevated, so if I sat far enough back, I wouldn't have to get down on the ground....
