Doll Owner’s Corner: Behind the Scenes Round 7

First of the month, time for another Doll Owner’s Corner.  When I, the doll owner, talk about anything at all.

This month’s topic:

Doll Bloopers

That’s right, it’s round seven of the fun doll photos (check here for the previous set).  The theme for this set is “getting the dolls to cooperate”. 

There are times when taking photos of dolls that you have an idea for a particular pose, but the doll doesn’t want to go that way.  This is especially the case with ball jointed dolls despite how incredibly “poseable” they are supposed to be.

Take this photo, it’s one of the outtakes from this post when Hikaru, Usagi, and Sakura were suppose to give us their “super cute” pose.  You can see that Usagi got it right, but the other two are a different story.

Here’s one when Yuki got his body (see Bjd Unboxing: Doll Family H Body and New Shoes?).  He was just suppose to sit there holding Shiro the deer, something he does constantly. 

Somehow this time the sight of the camera made him topple over knocking poor Shiro’s head off.  Luckily no harm came to either of them.

Here’s another with Yuki from this tea party.  All he had to do was hold on to a plastic cup, but down it went, spilling imaginary tea on Shiro.  That is one patient little deer.

Speaking of deer, remember this post of Shiro flying like a reindeer?  Here’s how it was really shot. 

I first took this photo of me holding Shiro by the antlers….

…And then I took this photo holding Shiro a bit lower.

Then I used this free image editing software to add the top half of the second photo to the first photo. 

Then voila!  Instant flying deer shot.  Because sometimes you have to manipulate some photos to get the shots you want.

That’s it for this time.  Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions for more fun bjd photos.  Otherwise look forward to more doll stuff coming soon.
