Even though I took quite a few photos in the scillas this spring, it seems I only took a behind the scenes shot one time. And that was of one of the very last scenes, which I set up in the narrow strip of upper garden beside the patio. It's so much easier taking photos in our elevated garden, but I usually avoid taking photos right there because of the ugly fence, but it is also the only spot that has a decent number of scillas. So, a large branch was put up against the fence in an attempt to hide it, and then the dolls were posed in the edge of the garden Early spring is the only time I can take photos in the upper garden, as the plants quickly get way too tall and out of scale. The only other time I can take photos there is in late fall after everything has been cut down for the winter.

I love the photos. It is always fun to see the photos from your perspective as you take them and then from our perspective as we see them when you post.

I wasn't sure I should even bother posting them since it's always the same old thing. Which is probably why I forget to take behind the scenes photos most of the time these days.

Another lesson in how to take good pictures 😊. You see the potential in everything! Being able to "see" a small scene out of a large, busy (or ugly) background is a gift.

Thanks. My garden is one of the most difficult places to take doll photos in - other than in late fall and through the winter when there's no plants. The plants get big way too fast, and the smaller the dolls, the bigger the challenge. The only dolls that can go with them are the fairies since then size doesn't matter. Which is why I mostly take photos out on the picnic table with the garden in the background. Comments are closed.
