Before moving on to something new, I want to share the behind-the-scenes photos taken on our trip to Newfoundland, just a few at a time starting at the beginning....
Burntcoat Head, Nova Scotia
The tide was out at the Bay of Fundy, and I posed the dragons and Avery twins on the rock shelf part way down the stairs to the ocean floor....
Then I took closer ups photos of them with the offshore island behind them....
I wasn't going to risk taking cloth dragons out on the wet ocean floor, so just took two of the RRFF dolls. There was nothing high enough to stand them on, and I was definitely not going to get down in the mud, so Jan hand-held the dolls so I could take photos.
Lunenburg
In Lunenburg, we parked along the harbour where there were some picnic tables. I like posing the dolls on picnic tables since then they are nice and high off the ground, so I don't have to get down to take the photos.
For forced perspective to work, it's important to take the photos straight on at the doll's eye level.
On the Ferry
Since we were one of the first vehicles to board the ferry, we had time to take some dolls up on deck, and return them to the RV before the ferry started sailing, since we wouldn't be allowed down on the vehicle decks after leaving port. So I brought two sets of dolls; Alex and Sara....
....and Bonnie and Jamie. Jan got down and held them up against the railings.
I get nervous taking doll photos in public, but somethings, if I really want to take the photos, then there's no choice. And sometimes people come over to talk to us. We just say we're taking photos for a children's book, and they think that's so fascinating.
