~A Model Animal Photoshoot~
...2019...
"You don't take a photograph, you make it." ~Ansel Adams

We come to 2019 in this series where I rank my best model animal pictures. The animals I used belonged to me and/or my sisters, Louise & Yokoshi. I roughly sorted the pictures from best to least. All the animals in this photoshoot are from Schleich (I included their model numbers).
The pictures from April-May were taken in Germany (that's where we could buy the retired models more easily). The ones from June were taken in the mountains. The rest were at my home or at a friend's house.
Camera: Lumix Panasonic DMC-GX85

That's it for this round! Please forgive me for not being able to fix some of the captions in bold. I did not do that on purpose! I hope that at some point the glitch will sort itself out... 😅
Towards the end of that year, I started working on a rather large project (one I have yet to finish): Making a character profile with backstories for each of my model horses.
For that, I started taking pictures of each individual, but I will only include my favourite ones in upcoming posts because it's a lot.
Unfortunately, learning not to over-complicate things wasn't something I started for several more years to come...
Which ones are your favourite? I'd love to know! 💚
These are all so good! <3 I think my favorites are "The Great Prince of the Forest" and the one of the lop-eared rabbit.
