Little Peeps in the Garden

[ukaskew]

Finally got some cracking weather today, so whilst waiting for the BBQ to get going I had a little blast with these little guys, had them for ages but not had a nice enough day to go out laying in the grass etc...

For most of these, an overall view with the 50mm 1.8, then a close up with the 50mm 1.8 and +4 Close-Up Filter attached...

Oiling the Bench...

Weed Clearing...

Tea Break from Leaf Sweeping...

Grass Cutting...

and finally, a climber stuck up a tree...

Great fun, highly recommended! Unfortunately not a cheap project, these little chaps are pretty expensive. Good if you choose ones you can get plenty of use from, still got a few I haven't come up with any solid ideas for yet. Going to hang on to them for a while as I'm hoping to get a proper 1:1 Macro lens in the future.

On the dropdown list, stick to those in 'HO' (1:87) scale as that's the biggest range/most common size...

WARNING: You will spend hours looking at these, really is mind-boggling what they've come up with, almost everything you can think of is there. Want a 1:87 scale Funeral Procession (Catholic), you've got it!

Nice photos Chris, looks like there's some fun to be had with these little dudes. Is it the filter that's causing the background effect on the lawnmower shot?
