All that kept coming to my mind for this first photo challenge, “Quick as a Wink” (submitted by Jody), was a hummingbird. The correlation is obvious but sadly it’s not hummingbird season… Hmmmm… How do I photograph a hummingbird in wintertime?
Well, I make my own hummingbird of course!
I have seen paper theatre photo illustrations done before and I have always wanted to give it a go. So I created each individual illustration with a hummingbird as my main character and then photographed my mini-theatre scene. I actually think that this kind of photo illustration could be fun for a children’s book one day. However, it’s not as easy as it looks and I have a LOT more to learn about this craft before I’m able to illustrate an entire book!
Anyway, here’s hoping y’all enjoy my first attempt. π
Thanks again to Jody for taking the time to submit the phrase “Quick as a Wink” – it was fun inspiration!
For those folks out there who are curious about how I did these photographs, please check out the pics of my mini-theatre below >>>
Pssst… I’ll draw next week’s challenge tomorrow morning and let ya know what it is. π
Wow! So fun. Your creativity and skill has no end. π
Awe Heather thanks a bunch! This was my first attempt so obviously I feel pretty critical of it – hopefully when I try this again one day I’ll do much better. π
Looks great!!
Thanks Jody! π
This is really cool. What a great idea!
AWE thanks Ryan!
