Grave Stone Accent 2
January 18th, 2008
Welcome to Thomas Brock Photography




Mini has several dozens of these Littlest Pet Shop toys (and, hey, they’re better than Barbie or Bratz dolls, so I’ll not complain). They turn up underfoot (amazingly mobile these plastic zoo-escapees are), they’re pretty darned cute and quite indifferent to being photographed (much more indifferent than Mini).
The little adventure also gave me the opportunity to play around with my Gary Fong Lightsphere II. I haven’t given it a run through the ringer, but it seems to do a great job of softening the light and spreading it around. More on the Lightsphere later.
One might laugh at photography of little plastic reptiles and simians…But I say the only way to learn is to photograph. If the only willing subjects I have are toys, so be it. Besides, they’re fun.
