Monthly Featured Photographer - August 2014

The shooting theme:
Instead of taking shootings inside the apartment walls we want to go for this year from time to time to perform some exciting pictures outside.
It was just the time Mia went back from Doll Story and her beauty farm trip with plenty new ideas in mind so I drove her to my father’s home to (re)start our work in his back garden.
Due to the rainy weather condition sunbathing was not the ideal theme so a new one should be created and the first part was started the 6th July and published at TDF: Mia - 4woods/Doll Story - 2014 / In the Lodge (part1) –
Not very satisfied with the image presets from part1 a new shooting was done a week later and here’s our selection from 138 pictures we’ve accomplished. In a rush of time we passed a funny and nice midday in this homely cabin and Mia remembered some songs that she sang and gently accompanied with guitar chords.
Just as we started some shots in the lawn grass a shower stopped our outside work and we went back to the cabin.
The race sled is a reminiscence from my mushing area with my Siberian Husky Team and served as special equipment and leaves a nice adventure touch to my lady. Shortly after we finished this setup Mia was tired and smartly fallen asleep in her comfy position…..

Some information on the used equipment:
My camera:
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V bridge camera.
A tripod was used, but most pictures were done free-hand.

Additional lighting source:
Adjustable 2-way ceiling spotlight with 25W incandescent bulbs.
At this Sunday mid-July the weather was unstable and some sunrays break through the cloudy sky and enhanced some poses. Together with the adjustable spotlights the scene was illuminated in a more vivid tone.

Hope you like our first published CoverDoll theme as we’ve done during this greyish Sunday, we don’t stop here.

Wholeheartedly,
from Guy (siliconefun) & Mia
