Anyway, this isn't particularly related to the story in the photos above, but initially I did this to get the bokeh from the lights outside the window (that's the black thing in the background) but my room is too bright and I can't get all the nice bokeh without having overexposed dolls :( So I ended up using some LED lights (which are in a row, haha, as you can tell from the blue bokeh) to make bokeh. Which is kind of a pity cos the bokeh in the background is really really nice. Here's what it looks like:



And yes, that's me. I usually cheat and use textures/filters for bokeh, but this photo is only adjusted for colours and contrast, all the bokeh is real :D Haha. (I've no idea why I'm so excited about bokeh really). I took my reflection against the windows where building lights where on and ta-dah~ But for bokeh in dolly photos, I would probably need to buy those Christmas lights or something...

I was trying for high key lighting which I found impossible to do in my hostel room, so I went with backlighting instead, and it turned out quite well after a lot of adjusting and me taking photos from an awkward position for really long :( I'm just kind of sad that school is so busy, and that I couldn't have done this earlier (like last week) so that I could submit something to The Doll Carnival (Singapore's new doll event in Nov this year) photography competition. Oh well. Maybe next time :/
