365: 18. Kokeshi, originally uploaded by Ohmzar.
This is a doll Annabel got given for her birthday I decided to make it the subject of todays 365. It’s a pain in the arse to phograph something so shiny… I don’t have any specialist lighting gear so the best I could do was move about the room and switch on and off the ambient lighting to try and avoid the glare.
Initially I tried to photo her/it in front of the plain red wall as recently painted in another of my 365 photos. That didn’t seem to work the photo kept one coming out too dark. Instead I moved it to the other side of the room and decided to use a fan as a backdrop.
I think I need a polarising filter to stop the glare from spoiling my photos… Other than that I really like this picture.
