Behind the Scenes (Show us the set-up)

She is small but needs a lot of space :smile:


My camera is in my back, because I used the 135mm here :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Yeah that’s a cool setup @IKE :+1: I also have a 135mm from way back when I started shooting film. I still love that lens and have used it a few times on my digital body’s

Good eye @Mr_Hope , the toy is actually a prop for our next photo shoot :wink:…the lube as well (but it certainly helped with Kalei’s finger placement in this shoot)

SUCH a great shot with the back hook. Love it!

This is exactly how Ray Harryhausen shot the forced perspective shots in the 3 Worlds of Gulliver- well done!

Nice shots, MFI! How the heck did you get her to hold such a convincing hand of cards? I usually have to resort to Photoshop for such things!

Great category idea, and so many great poses and elaborate set-ups!

These are from about a year ago… when Ana competed in a “Sexy Bunny” challenge… This was still around the start of us having dolls and though I helped Mr. Lime build our ladies, I wasn’t as interested in them… after I saw Mr. Lime competing in photo challenges I got a little more involved since I enjoy creative artistic outlets and I could offer a females touch… SO this was my first big attempt at styling a wig! 40 INCHES of white hair worked perfectly to build these bunny ears for Ana! I wish I had more than the back view (which is a complete mess!!!)… like the form underneath. I traced bunny ears on cardboard, then bent some wire along the edges to help hold the form, and then glued them to a headband… after that it just took lots of bobby pins to hold the hair in placed as I wrapped it around each ear. I don’t think I could do this again if I tried but it’s a style I’ll always look back on and be proud of! :rabbit:

Here’s my setup for shooting off camera Godox flashes with my vintage manual lenses. (Manual focus and Manual aperture ring) On my Full Frame Pentax K1 Mark ii.
They will only fire at shutter speeds of 1/200sec or slower so no HSS. (High Speed Sync)
Still some really nice photos can be shot with this configuration.


Shot this today with an old Manual 135mm f/2.5 Takumar portrait lens
The lighting was daylight for front and two Godox AD200Pro’s for back lighting.

Here is when I was first trying out flash at the Leathermans place.

Some would like to believe a blower was used… :rofl:

But I’ll let you be the judge. :thinking:
