So for the past weekend, I welcomed one of the many Dollfie Dream DD娃娃 comrades 同志 I have made online through Dannychoo.com and figure.fm, tsunamidelta who traveled with his Dollfie Dream DD娃娃 daughters from Ohio to Chicago meet one of his long time friend Shintocowboy, Anonymous_Object and I. Originally, we were going to have a massive Dollfie Dream DD娃娃 shoot out at a local garden but due to some extreme weather conditions and severe thunderstorm raging through the Midwest late Friday afternoon left many suburban regions of Chicago underwater forced us to abandon the plan for the group gathering (all the while left a few of Tsunamidelta’s daughters stranded, quite literally). Fortunately, the weather made a 180 degrees turn around Saturday afternoon and Tsunamidelta and I were able to take our daughters to Chicago Museum Park for a good photos session. Since I have taken my most spoiled, most pampered and most treasured daughter DD娃娃 紅瀬桐葉 Kiriha to LA to attend AnimeExpo 2010, I think it’s about time to give my other lovely daughters some loving, so I have decided to take my 9th daughter Airi アイリ and 11th daughter Rina 緒方理奈 with me on this outdoor photo session at the Chicago Museum Park and lakefront .
在上一個週末, 我和一位在Dannychoo.com 認識的娃友見面, 他從俄亥俄州帶着他幾個囡兒來芝加哥娃聚。 但係由星期五晚開始, 天氯開始特變, 傾盆大雨, 令芝加哥大部份市郊地方水浸, 大現模嘅交通阻塞。在沒有辦法嘅況底下, 為有取消娃聚嘅計劃。但係到咗星期六中午, 天氣轉好, 所以我便帶住到步不久的理奈和愛莉到附近嘅芝加哥博物館公園與湖畔去拍外景, 希望大家會喜歡。
Here is a shot with Rina and Airi with the Chicago Skyline as the background, you can almost make out Chicago’s tallest building Sears Tower.
這一張相係用芝加哥市中心做背景, 在理奈和愛莉後面差不多可以見到芝加哥最高嘅西爾斯大樓.

Nice photos! Love how they are very neutral and balanced in terms of lighting and colors, excellent for such portrait type shots. You used your 50mm prime I presume? (Is it just me or do Nikon’s seem more color neutral by default? My Canon 450D always seems to discolor things a bit.)
A shame you were plagued by bad weather, luckily it did get better. Was it due to the bad weather earlier that day that most of those places and parks seem so abandoned?
Often noticed that some of the spots DD owners from the US photograph at seem to be deserted. Over here you’d be hard pressed to find a near empty park to do some tranquil DD photoshoots.
I generally prefer my shots to be somewhat neutral in color, some of the shots taken with shady conditions had their color temperature too high and I had to tone them back down a bit. I also used the lightroom setting to apply the nikon model correction and what not. About half of the shots were taken with the 50mm, the rest were taken with the 35 as I am beginning to feel that the 35 might be a better suit for outdoor session, especially with my DX frame.
Nice shots! Airi looks incredibly, as does Rina. They make a great couple.
It sucks about the weather, but at least you were still able to get some good shots.
Thanks
Rina is really lovely! Just wondering how did you style her hair?
Rina’s wig is curly like that by default~
Lots of very lovely photos ^^
Agree with Smithy on the very natural feel, both through their poses and the shots themselves.
A great location too, with the boats in the background, lots of greenery but also interesting bits and bobs (like the metal and stone sculptures) that make for unique photos!
Thank you ^^;
I’m surprised, I hadn’t gotten a good look at Rina’s face until this post. That smile, it’s so appealing for me. I’m used to Nanoha’s more innocent smile, Rina on the other hand seems almost mischievous. Just like her now that I think about it.
That aside, lovely pics.
Rina is looking cute as always. ^ ^
Nice photos as usual.
