100 cm Clothing Sizes from second photo shoot

[AmysDaddy]

Just to say that Mandos' photos must have made a huge difference to the sales of the 100cm doll!

I've ordered mine basically on the strength of those photos and can't wait to start dressing her, and the information on this thread will be invaluable in sourcing clothes to fit.

Thanks to all!

Jimjam == do you want darker photos or what do you mean low light? one trick is to get the light right up there and then adjust the aperture so as to give the effect of low light. By closing down the aperture you also get a longer FL, that is to say you can get deeper focus. This will also help if you are more than 2 stops difference between light and shadow. By adjusting aperture and/or shutter speed, you get more control rather than trying to get it just within the limit of the camera. Most digital cameras allow you to go to manual and you can make your settings from there, it really isn't too difficult. Trial and error will be your guide. You want to control the light as much as possible so you have more options. Lower number=larger aperture (ie. f/1.4) and a higher number= smaller (ie. f/16). larger aperture has a more shallow focus, and smaller aperture is a deeper focus. If you want shallow focus then open the aperture and increase speed to balance it back out.

Using light/aperture/shutter speed means you don't have to worry about too low a light and almost any camera will work that has a manual mode in the menu.

Hope this helps.

Ahh, thanks NingyouLover, i haven't looked at this thread for a while and haven't chosen a camera yet (other commitments ect, boo) so this quick tutorial will be of great use - thanks!
