How To Shoot A Toy

How To Shoot A Toy, a photo by hbmike2000 on Flickr.

1. Pick a toy.

2. Place toy in a spot with a background that works. (I chose the sun shining on plants and leaves in hopes the bokeh would come out looking like sparks and fire)

3. Choose a cool angle to shoot from.

4. Pick up toy Light Saber that fell out of General Palpatine Stitch's hand.

5. Repeat step 4 five times.

5. Chuck offending toy that wont hold Light Saber across yard.

6. Scream in a high pitched voice as you watch in horror as mad squirrel picks up toy and runs away with it and realize you hadn't got the shot yet.

7. Chase mad squirrel.

8. Once the mad squirrel beats you up and chucks the toy back at you, replace toy in previous pose.

9. Place Light Saber in toys hand once again.

10. Aim Camera and watch as Light Saber falls to the ground once again before you can get one shot off.

11. Cry.

12. Beat hands and feet on ground in a tantrum.

13. Have someone else place stupid Light Saber in offending toy's hand.

14. Glare at them when it doesn't fall.

15. Take the picture dumbass

View on black or the Mad Squirrel will come get you

Our Daily Challenge: Rules of Third (I use this rule a lot so I thought I would try something a little different. Although the characters fill up most of the frame, only General Palpatine Stitch is in focus in one third of the frame)
