Digital Dicken's

Digital Dicken's, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (Hunting Tanzanite in Decm).

LR-17524-PS-BD - There where a couple of alternative titles for this one, but thought I would keep them to myself.
Another from the trip to the historic dockyard at Portsmouth and the Dicken's characters for Dickensian Christmas event, many of those taking part in England and across the globe to celebrate the 200th birthday of Charles Dicken's writer of Great Expectations, David Copperfield, The Mystery of Edwin Drood and many more including A Christmas Carol. Check out the dickens birthday site for events.
Last weekend was a whole bunch of experiments in lighting and people after being commission as birthday party photographer followed the next day by the opportunity to get a few costume shots, in what was billed to be a period setting. Now if any of you have attempted or read how difficult it is to avoid planes, cars, mobile phones in films etc you'll understand the humor in this shot. Hopefully some of the others are a bit closer to the mark, but I am sure your eagle eye's might find the corner of a wheelie bin or some other modern day item :)

Would be interested on any feedback on this new area for me light, shadows etc
