The Old Gate

I took photos of my three FIDs in several settings around the Ruins Gardens yesterday.
The second series was taken on a walkway in front of a big stone Gate...

I had to get down flat on the ground to take all these photos, so when I got up I took another shot to show what the dolls actually looked like to any casual passersby....

Making a doll look like they actually fit into the scene is all about the camera angle, taking the photo at the doll's eye level....which often means getting down very low.

Thanks! I love the Ruins Garden. It's the perfect setting for certain types of dolls.

Gorgeous photos and dolls, not to mention their outfits. That getting down low thing is a challenge for me. I had a knee replacement and it makes some simple things way harder than they should be!

I know all about it. I have fibromyalgia, and severe arthritis everywhere, so it's very hard to get down - even harder to get up. But I do it because I want the pictures.
