Some behind the scenes shots of the set-up for the Fairy Picnic photos posted recently.... My favourite place to take photos outside is on the patio table. The plants in my garden are mostly all way too big out of scale, so setting up on the table, raises the dolls, making it easier for me to work with and photograph them, plus it makes the plants in the background look better to scale... The hanging baskets of flowers get set in the background and around the sides raised on pots on benches. The dolls and props get brought out on trays to help minimize how many times I have to go in and out. Then I sit down and take the photos..... Moving a bit to one side can change the lighting, and the whole feel of the picture. I also got down a little lower at the doll's eye level for this next one....

I have to smile as you 'analyze' the set-up, since I don't even think of those things when I'm doing it.

I love seeing how these photos come together. Your backyard is so magical! I would take lots of outdoor photos if my yard looked like that.
