Nice pictures Broven

Anna Marie really comes alive. I particular like this one

That is such a wonderful picture. Has it been post edited or is it only the Bokeh of the lens we're seeing?

Thanks, Sofos.

That was done in post. Unfortunately I don't have a great camera. An old Canon Elph is all (though that shot was actually done with my phone). I enjoy going in to photoshop and messing around a bit. Many of the shots I take kinda need a little post editing love anyway. I probably do it too much, but you know... it's my new toy, so I play with it a lot. lol. I figure that if in 6 months or so I am still enjoying the photography as much as I am now I might start investing in some better equipment. But for now I'm content to make do.

Really like those pictures of her helping build your model boat. I build and race model boats and hope my Suzu will be interested in helping me During the long winter. So far, she's more interested in finding a wardrobe that suits her, and I enjoy spoiling her with anything she wants, within reason.

Haha, yeah I'm sure Anna Marie would rather shop for clothes than work on the boats too.

I've never tried doing any RC boats, but it does look fun as hell.

Well, I had to take about 30 shots (not being able to look through the viewfinder) before I got one that was even remotely centered and that wasn't just of my own ugly mug.

She looks so damned cute when she's sleeping. Am I right? lol

I just love the hell out of her...

Really nice cuddle picture.
I make sure my phone is always reachable from the bed.
Some moments feel so good that you just have to capture them.
Using the timer works great because it allows you to position the shot without needing to struggle to press the shutter.
I haven't gone so far as to keep a selfie stick handy..... but hey, that would be a great idea!

Thanks,

Thanks.

A selfie stick didn't even occur to me. That probably would be handy.

My earliest pics of Luna included a lot of selfie cuddle shots (and kiss shots and, um, other stuff). But I stopped taking them because they never fully captured the moment as I saw it. Broven somehow manages to do so in his photos. I'm envious!

Thanks Auto.

Don't sell yourself short though. I love your pics of Luna. She's always cute as hell.

Being able to close Anna's eyes now makes a huge difference. I could just lay there watching her sleeps for hours. And it really makes the cuddle shots more realistic. I don't usually share any of those, as my face can pretty much ruin any photo though. lol

Oh, man, don't get me started. I'm so horrified at seeing myself in pictures these days ... I don't feel that old!

"Wanna go to bed early tonight..?"

Some questions are easier to answer than others.

We're still slowly making our way through the new clothes we bought. Anna said this teddy is WAY too short, but it feels so silky... I say it's a good kind of "too short" and yep - it's silky smooth.

I'll have more pics with more new clothes eventually, but I think I'm going to leave her in this outfit for a little while first...

Thanks for looking

Broven

Oh. My. God. Anna is so sexy in these pictures. Good thing Luna isn't here to get jealous!

I'm sure you two will have fun tonight. I'll be thinking of you (or at least your doll

).

Hey Broven, lovely photos!

She looks so alive and deep in thought in this one...

Broven · Post by **Broven** » Fri Nov 24, 2017 8:14 pm

Thank you MF

I was pleasantly surprised by that one too.

I'm still exploring the possibilities with her new eyes. Whether it comes across in the photos or not, they have made a huge difference in person. They really are awesome and add a whole new level of realism to her. Thank you for making them!

Broven you are very welcome.
Hearing that is what keeps me going with this!

BTW, looks like you got the depth adjustment sorted out - she looks great!
