Joliezac's Animal Figure Photography: *April 11th*

These IC models look really very realistic on your great pictures. I don't remember the last time I visited a lighthouse, I must remember to visit one next time.

I had lots of fun at the lighthouse yesterday so I went back today with many more figures for a proper photo shoot

Although silly me got there and I realized I forgot my case of figures So I had to drive back to my house and get them

I took lots so I will post the rest tomorrow.

My new Safari IC marbled ray. I almost lost it under the rocks because the waves were sloshing back and forth and it almost got sucked underneath but I was able to grab it in time

Safari IC sea otter & Monterey Bay Aquarium sea otters: These photos were tricky because the water was sloshing back and forth and they kept falling through the kelp

I'll post more tomorrow!

Those are unbelievable photos Especially the sea lion panoramic is almost indistinguishable from a photo of the real alive animals! The stingray photos and the third sea otter photo are also mesmerizing, and all the remaining ones are very good! I wish I had your skills for outdoor photography with matching habitats!

Thank you so much! I really love to find great spots for photographs and decide what animals would fit in that area

Beautiful pics and a wonderul journey you are giving us, each time you put a smile on my face, thank you Jolie. 

Those Big IC Safari ltd are really nice, alas most of them are too large for my shelves, it's a pity... At least I can watch them on beautiful pics here 

This is absolutely impressive!!! I think it can't be done better. I really adore many of the pictures, especially the Barnegat? one.

Thank you so much Roger & Kikimalou!!

Here are the rest of the photos I took

Then some photos of my new Papo spotted seal. I'm just obsessed with its goofy expression and pose

I think these 2 are my favorite of the day but I'm happy with all my others too. It had been years since I was at the lighthouse. I'm glad I went back! Its also under construction at the moment so its covered in scaffolding. That's why it looks odd in the photos.

That's all really beautiful! Very well positioned models, perfect landscape and high photographic skills. Also an impressive collection, not many people owns the brown pelican from Schleich and Safari together. I only have the Safari model myself. It seems you're missing the Bullyland puffin.

GORGEOUS !!!

They all look so real !
And the fact that you use several brands so they are different gives life and makes it very interesting.
Your photographic skills and feeling for dimensins do that there seems to be no difference in size !
Top class work

And the I haven't even mentioned the beautyful location and the way you use it

Great pics, great use of depht of field  and of course BIG poetry 

Another beautiful batch of pictures, much like everyone else has said they're an excellent combination of right-species-right-place and careful photographic skills

Thank you so much Roger, Susanne, Kikimalou, and George!!

After almost an entire month of rain, I finally had some sunshine earlier this week to go out and get some photos

I had a handful of newer models that didn't have any photos yet, so I took them out to get some shots

I went to my usual spot at the quarry and creek. Here are the photos I took at the quarry:

I'll post the photos of the creek tomorrow!  

The way you photograph these figures turn them even more beautiful.
I really love your pictures and all the love and dedication you give to them.

Great shots again! I love all those red roo bucks. 

Wonderful, those Kangaroos certainly are lifelike!!

Thank you so much everyone! I appreciate the kind comments

I got busy and forgot to show the rest of my photos from that day

So here they are!

All these pictures are really phenomenal. Look at the formidable eagle in pure action!
Those Play Visions chameleons look much more attractive presented like that.
There are so many pictures to enjoy but I want also to congratulate you for finding so many fantastic figures.

Another wonderful varied batch of pictures, I like everything on show here but especially impressed by the chameleons looking very at home in the tree, the splash for the eagle's action shot, and the lovely bongo family wading in the water.

It is very beautiful the integration of the animal in the landscape.

Last night was a beautiful full moon so we went to the lighthouse at dusk to watch the moonrise. I brought a few figures with me to get some sunset photos while we waited

I wanted to get some photos of the moon but unfortunately it was cloudy so we only saw the moon once it was high in the sky.

so here they are!

Some shots with my puffin colony:

Another attempt at a breaching humpback. I forgot my canned air though so I couldn't do a splash effect! Maybe next time I will get the perfect photo

Those are awesome photos, especially the humpback !!

Fantastic pictures, how powerful is that whale with the beautiful sky behind?
I love also the vulnerability of these hatchlings.

Very nice photos, congratulations.

These are just so stunning! I could stare at these for hours, you have such a talent for this sort of photography!
