      So, figure skating and Giselle's Wilis. The first snow fell on the 4th, and it was quite a lot. couldn't miss a moment like that lol

    2. Your photos are always such a treat. Really excellent work. The dolls convey to me more of what I already feel: tortured with madness from the darkness of winter... I am so glad the longest night of the year is soon and from there more daylight comes. :goldstar

    5. @AlisonVonderland But on the other hand, I think that's the charm of the night. The long darkness, the unbroken silence, things that seemed ordinary during the day suddenly become frightening and suspicious, and landscapes familiar enough to pass by easily in the light are adorned with new beauty. Even when taking photos, it seems there's a face of loneliness that's especially suited to being captured at this hour. That's why I love night photography... But! It's too sad that by the time I finish work, the sun has already set. So, yes, I now wait once more for the sun's overtime period ᴗ͈̥̥̥̆‸ᴗ͈̥̥̥̆ On another note, I got the idea that taking sunrise photos on the winter solstice would be pretty cool.

      @lutke I wish I could say "The cold never bothered me anyway" with such flair, but we're not urethane dolls haha, May this winter be as warm and comfortable as your heart UoU~

      @saraquill Thank you! Since both times I went out late at night after work, I only had minimal prep time, but I'm glad the desired atmosphere came through well X3

    9. @Teddy Sometimes enduring the cold feels rewarding, haha, thank you.

      @Serraphym "Wow, this is stunning!" That's what I thought when I saw the dolls set up against that backdrop ( ͈ര ̫ര ͈)

      @Valdemagra Haha, this is the unique charm of a snowy night. It's dazzling like the midnight sun, yet eerie as pitch blackness X3
       
    10. These are awesome! I love the darker look to the photo's and the red leaves on the snow in that one picture just sits everything off beautifully!

    12. @RabbidBunnies Ah, those withering leaves are quite beautiful, aren't they! Thank you for noticing. Actually, their most important role was to support the hair, haha. I wanted to give the feeling of them fluttering in the wind.

      @P0laris The blue light at night is truly beautiful. It's so stunning that you might even fool yourself into thinking it's enough just to capture it lol. Giselle was one of the things I'd wanted to photograph for a while, and the figure skating pose was just something I impulsively tried after people around me saw my new outfit and said, 'That looks like figure skating attire.' Luckily, the pose came out better in the shot than I expected XD!

    13. I love these photos! I think the 8th is my favourite. The veil adds a such a cool hazy texture to the photos, especially the ones with the super deep background

    14. @coin Ah, this difference in perspective is interesting. I also like that photo, because her face truly has that 'winter look' X3 also, I always think veils are accessories that add an appealing texture and sense of mystery, but I often just pack them away without using them. So it was a pleasure to finally enjoy using one again UvU
