THE TREASURE ISLAND!!
« on: August 10, 2014, 12:00:20 »
Hello everyone!

Two months ago I found the opportunity to make a diorama which I've wanted to make since a long time ago. With Larisa's -my wife- help (of cource!) I carried a pirate's ship and all the essentials to the beach  to make a pirate's story. I faced 3 problems: the first, I had to set up, dry my hands, take the camera and take a photo, and all that again and again....under the strong sun! The second, there were many people at the beach who looked at us like we were aliens! The third is that I had to wait to take the photos so people wouldn't pass by.

For the record, I didn't swim. The water was too cold.

I hope you like it!

What a beautiful beach that is, and the pictures are stunning! I love the way you arranged the sets with so many palm trees.  Really good job, nicely done. That poor woman, though, taken captive by pirates.

Btw, I bet you did get a lot of strange looks, playing with toys on the beach! :lol:

Those are great photos! The location is wonderful - must have been indeed hard to take the pics, but they are stunning!

(love the black woman - never thought of using that old torso there.. interesting!)

Marvelous photos: one would never guess the problems you had to deal with to take them. I love outdoor stories, and this is beautifully done.  It looks like a lovely piece of coastline too - the rocks (to the klickies - or pebbles to us) are lovely with all their different shapes and colours.

Splendid!!  :clap: :clap: :clap:  That's the best setting you could ever wish for...

You did an entire story, all in one day? That's amazing.

That human skull looks very creepy though. I do hope you put it there?  :)

It looks beautifull, natural enviroments do look the best for stories but certainly are the most challenging!

Personly I never did more than the occasional outdoors picture, so my hats off to you for doing an entire story!
