The sun was shining so nice today that one thing jumped into my mind: Time for your first Outdoor Shoot!.Ive packed my things and went on the quest for the holy grai…errr…a great shooting spot.You wonder how it turned out? Find out after the Jump! (Picture Flood Warning!)
The spot where I took the pictures turned out to be a nearby hill and the idea behind the whole shoot is basically the same as DQs Review minus the epic scenery.I didnt wanna copy her concept but to be honest I totally forgot her review ^^;;. Check out her review for the better execution of the same concept ^^.

This is the Artwork Satoshi Toda probably has taken the inspiration for this figure from.Its Saber standing on a hill looking calmly over the battlefield.I thought it would be a great idea to recreate this scenery but too bad DQ had the same idea ^_^
This was my first Outdoorshoot and its hard to find a proper place for taking the pictures.I live in an area where there isnt too much nature and the few places that are avaiable are usually pretty crowded.I decided to use our local Sandberg as the location.People usually take their dogs out for a walk there but i was lucky and Saber didnt turn into a chewing toy for a doggie.Working with sunlight was on the one hand a joy and on the other one a big pain.Colours looks so much more natural and accentuate a figure nicer than any lamp could.A lamp is more flexible in the lighting angles and wont hide behind the clouds.Crawling in the dirt isnt that much fun either.I guess ill have to keep my eyes peeled for a gorillapod or something similar to avoid awkward poses in public.In the end i just guessed what the cameras seeker is pointing at and shot the pictures.Im really,really happy how they turned out even tough i was using a pretty random method.
A place i would have loved to use but it was a bit too frequented for my taste 
Pretty much everything about this figure has already been discussed but im gonna throw in my opinion aswell.I absolutely love Sabers very strong pose emitting a certain superiority over whoever stand infront of her.The pose itself is very static and undynamic but Toda managed to counter this with the gush of wind that blows through her skirt and hair.Its a great combination and I love it.This would be an absolute Ace Maiden release from Gift if there wouldnt be one little problem: her head.I dont feel like discussing the whole head thing and Im just gonna say that im “okay” with her Anime Style head.There are alot Sabers out there whose face isnt spot on and nobody really complains so why with this one? Yeah it spoils the perfect score for this release but wouldnt it be crazy if Gifts first figure would already be perfect? To be completley honest nobody ordered this figure for the face anyways….
Ive gotta say that Gift needs to work on their faces though after I saw pictures of their Lily Saber

Now that was a picture flood eh?You are nearly done! Meronpan hinted that Kanaru might look a bit better with different lighting so I took her with me aswell and took some shots.She still looks sunburned and pretty pale in sunlight >.<
Ill finish your connection off with one last picture of Saber in a different location.This one was taken close to a lake.After all a certain someone got from a certain someone else living in a lake a certain item.Hah this way noone will be spoilered
Those pictures didnt turn out well in the end and I went with the hill idea
Thanks for your time and bandwidth!
