the Castle Window

For years I'd been avoiding taking doll photos in the sun, thinking the contrast would be too great. But I really liked the last few Curiosity Shoppe photos I took with the sun shining in through the window, so I thought I'd try it again with other dolls, and liked the results so much, that I thought I'd post the results here.....

Golden in the Sun

First, Bianca in her gold Medieval gown, after she had the veil attached....

I didn't bother putting her own castle interior back up, and just shot in Kassia's castle, so it isn't exactly period appropriate, but I didn't care. It was just an exercise in taking more photos in the sun, and I love the results.
​They remind me of Waterhouse paintings....

Lawrence & Monica

One more set of 'window photos', this time with Monica and Lawrence, and this time I did change the background to a more appropriate, older castle interior. This first set of photos was taken earlier in the day before the sun came through the window....

Sunny Royalty

And now for the same two dolls, in the same setting, photographed with the sun coming in the window.
Picture
One thing I did have to pay attention to, was to shade the lens of the camera when it was in the sun. This next photo I forgot, so ended up with all kinds of flares from the dust on the lens.....
Picture
I love these two together, so tried several more photos....
