I bet she can cook up storm if she chooses to. :onfire: She's got a serious look to her. :thumbs_up:
Sandy isn’t tall (155 cm) but she has a big personality and towers over her 1/6 scale sisters. None of them will ever admit they are dolls.

Thanks guys :).
Ok so quick update..
In about a week I will be going shopping and picking up some tennis shoes for Brandy.
When I do this she will be able to stand around the house :).
The main reason I am kinda in a hurry to get the shoes is I really want to start doing a review
of her over on the Irontech thread.
I always like to do a few standing poses for the review to show the front and back of the body
and always some kinda silly holding something as well lol..

In the mean time I have been taking some other pictures for the other parts of the review as well.
So I will post a link here when the review starts so you can go over there and read about her.

This is quite the doll and may not be the doll for everyone so doing reviews of each of my girls is
great info for those that might be interested in one of them.
So keep your eyes open for another post from me here in about a week or maybe less with a link
to the start of the review :thumbs_up:

Again thanks for all the great friendships and support ..

Thanks everyone :)..
The kit has 5 lenses you can screw onto this plastic clip that looks kinda like a clothes clip but
with a hole on one flap that you screw the lens on..
You clip it over the cell phone and line it up over the proper sensor on the phone lol..
I think when the kit was made it was made back when cell phones only had like one camera sensor lol.
So I think this was made to work with the standard lens and sensor on cell phones lol..
I tried some of the others and well they did not do much other then distort the image lol.
The newer cell phones have many lenses and sensors already to solve this problem..
But yes Tae they do make these kits for cell phones :).

Ok just a quick update ...
I have been asked by a couple of people when I plan to start doing the review of my new Real Lady
made by Irontech. (Brandy).

So money was a bit tight and ended up putting the last of my cash I could afford to spend into the gas tank
of my car lol.
This has kept the new girl in bed with me for a while as I wait to get her shoes..
I have carpet and can not stand her on the carpet even with the metal post as those will sink into the carpet
and compress her feet..
So in a few days I plan to get her a pair of tennis shoes :)..
In the mean time I have been taking pictures that I will need for the review like all of the unboxing pictures
and head pic and hands , Feet blah blah..
I also put a couple of short videos of the box as well after it was opened showing the inside and packaging..
Also this time has given me some "Get To Know" her time :).
This will be good info to include into the review anyway so this extra time with her before the review has allowed
me to do this :).

Well today I started sorting all of those photos and videos and editing them..
I have the entire unboxing section ready and I hope to start the review in a few days ..

Again sorry for any delay for those that might be waiting and I will post an update and a link here to the review
when I start it ..

Thanks guys for all the support and talk soon :thumbs_up:

Update time..

Ok well the review of Brandy did not seem to go that well..
Not many people seemed very interested ..
Cant please everyone :(..

So next photo shoot should be Natalie with some brand new lingerie that is quite hot :).
I hope it fits her good because she is gonna look really good in it.. :thumbs_up:

Ok so as most of you know me I love to experiment with different methods to do photos..
What might be simpler or better and so on..
Well with the older camera I had I always struggled to get the light I needed so always ended up shooting at shutter speeds
too slow to hand hold the camera..
So I just got used to the methods of using tripods ...
Bitched the entire time how much I hated them but used them anyway in order to get sharp photos..

Well with the newer camera and bigger lenses I am getting more light and figured id try an experiment to see if I could
tweak things to get my shutter speed up to hand holding speeds so I can ditch the tripod ...

Here is a basic test with just a small LED panel for light to see focus ( Yeah I manually focus ) and then just a simple speed
light flash on top of my camera..
Now mind you this is a crappy photo lol.
But it gives you an idea that if I can get that much light from just a simple speed light on my camera AND be able to hand hold
the camera and still get my darker dramatic looking photos I like then imagine what I will probably be able to do with the entire
studio light setup going..
So the next photo shoot with Natalie will probably be a test photo shoot with the newer settings and no tripod ..
We shall see :).
If it works out smooth I should be able to get much closer and more unique angles and stuff to make the photos more interesting :thumbs_up:

But if you zoom in close to Selena's face you can see every flaw in her face its quite amazing how sharp the photo really was
and I was not using my tripod Yay lol..
Of course Selena was being a ham for the camera :).

Indoor shooting can be troublesome. You could try a monopod. Being very light and maneuverable it has none of the cumbersomeness of a full tripod yet it really steadies the camera.
Sandy isn’t tall (155 cm) but she has a big personality and towers over her 1/6 scale sisters. None of them will ever admit they are dolls.
