Thank you! I think it is a matter of eksperience. I've taken more Pinky photos than all other doll scales combined, so it seems easier. I think I'm also more accustomed to working with Pinky Street figures specifically. Other "action figure" sized dolls and figures present a greater challenge.
I'm also quite comfortable with this particular little point-n-shoot camera, and have learned how to maximize the features while minimizing the limitations.
I'm sure you have certain types of figures that you find easier to work with. In 1:6 scale, I'm getting accustomed to working with Bratz, but Pullips still give me fits! And I simply cannot take "glamorous" photos of my (now) two Integrity dolls, although other photographers on Flickr and Instagram make Integrity pics look, as you say, effortless.
And then there are the Smart Dolls. I am still finding them incredibly frustrating to photograph. I'm having daily "mood swings" over those dolls; one minute I want to buy them more clothes and accessories, and the next I want to list them all on eBay and take whatever I can get for them. That's definitely a "love-hate" relationship at the moment, currently edging away from the "love" side of the equation.
Also, I'm trying to be somewhat less lazy with my Doll A Day photos this year.
They're not dolls, they're action figures!
