[QUOTE=Admin2;2478827]Why is this so?[/QUOTE]Becuause like many generalizations, there are so many exceptions as to make it useless. I can post lots of photos with ladies legs pointing into the camera that should get your attention. Any good photogrspher should be able to.
[QUOTE=RoaminRoman;2478533]As a general rule of photography, the subject should not have either leg pointed toward the camera lens. Bad results generally follow. Not always, but usually it's the case.
Roman.[QUOTE=Admin2;2478827]Why is this so?[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]Basically, when an arm or leg is pointed toward the camera, a foreshortening of that limb occurs. The more the limb is in line with the axis of the lens, the "shorter" the limb will appear in the photograph. The visual result will usually be unappealing, because that limb is not in proportion with the rest of the body. An additional problem, as [B]Cephlapod[/B] and [B]CookieJar[/B] have been discussing, is the challenges posed in cropping such a photo. It's a rule of thumb in photography (but not hard-and-fast, as Elmer Batters so amply demonstrated in his body of work).
Cephlapod's point about the use of lines is another guidepost of photography, using them to lead the viewer's eyes toward the subject. You've probably seen any of the iconic photos of Monument Valley, for example, in which the photographer uses the road (which extends into the distance) to lead the viewer "into" the Valley. The use of a model's thighs, as he notes, to guide the viewer's attention to the focus of the picture is another example.

I learned the Rule of Thirds in my very first college art class, way back in the seventies. It was that and color wheels.
[QUOTE=Glockman;2479185]An interesting discussion on cropping. I try not to crop, but sometimes I have to because there is some object that I didn't notice when taking the picture and I cannot retouch it out. When I do crop, I try to follow the rule of thirds. In fact, I try to follow the rule of thirds when composing a photo...[/QUOTE]Creative Cropping is the art of changing the original composition in order to show specific points or make a detail more prominent or dynamic.
Cropping can be done in the camera; Glockman's preferred method or during editing. I agree with Glockman, his is the better method, IMHO. The more that is done, the better the original and the less that will be needed to be corrected in the lab. (We don't need labs anymore, do we?) Most instructors, today, teach their students that a good photographer does not need Photoshop.
However, because of the situation that 99.999% of my pictures are taken, I need all the help I can get. Time is limited, squalid backgrounds and most of my models would rather be somewhere else and I am in the middle trying to capture whatever I can. I once had a session interrupted by a brawl and a brick being thrown through a window. In the neighborhoods I travel, the less equipment I have the better. Even the TV camera crews have bodyguards or police protection before going into certain sections of Camden NJ.

[blue]Thanks[/blue][/QUOTE]And here is another generalization I missed: "If it bends, bend it. " I should have bent that leg. But, that is not the bad part as I see it. I missed an opportunity to capture a very pretty girl in an otherwise very nice position. Checkout her facial expression, her finger. I wanted to capture her with that nonchalant expression in a pose that wasn’t just about her party parts. For me, this is another one that got away.

[QUOTE=CookyJar;2478220]For the record 99.999% of my pictures are cropped as part the resizing necessary to post on USASG. I also crop for effect (and to remove distractions).

I'm a leg man; I enjoy a shapely set of long legs. I also enjoy a nice ass. It doesn't have to be big, a nice apple bottom will do. And, perky tits anything that doesn't sag, suits me. Of cause a pretty face is always nice.
That's why I always try to show a variety. Perspective is what it's all about.

CookyJar.[/QUOTE][B]CJ[/B], if you want to see some excellent examples of "leg" photography, check out the works of Elmer Batters, whom I mentioned in a previous post. Some of his work is available online, but if you can obtain a copy of [U][I]Legs That Dance to Elmer's Tune[/I][/U] (Taschen publishing), you'll have an excellent source of material from which to draw any inspiration you might want. It never hurts to look at the techniques that other photographers are using.

CookyJar.[/QUOTE]That's a great point, CJ, and it ties in with Cephlapod's comment about lines. Angular lines, like a leg bent at the knee, adds a dynamic element to photos and can sometimes be used to guide a viewer's eyes to multiple highlight points.

I can post lots of photos with ladies legs pointing into the camera that should get your attention. Any good photogrspher should be able to.[/QUOTE]That is true. The main 'problem' with legs pointing toward the camera is that of foreshortening of the limb. But, as you imply, photography is an art, not a science. While rules apply to the general case (e. G. , Rule of Thirds; Arms / Legs not pointed toward camera; Sun at right angles to subject; Horizon not across middle of picture; etc.), an artist who understands his medium and his desired result can often violate those rules and obtain a standout photo.

I saw her shapely legs long before I saw her eyes. I watched as she rounded the corner of Lou's Tavern. I continued watching, hoping to see some sign indicating her availability. Suddenly, she turned around, walked back to me and smiled. I saw those eyes and I was hooked, taken in by Betty Davis's eyes.
I got a little worried after the photo session. Katt assured me that I would be completely satisfied. Boy! Was she right? Yes she was. Kat give a magnificent, over the top, out of this world BBBJ. No Joke! She's up there in the all-time top ten. There was a lot of sucking and tongue licking, as she moved around the shaft and head. No doubt about it, Katt's on my ATF list.

It might be by order of modified date. Modified date is after. It somewhat supports the forum doing some sort of re-arranging.
Microsoft one drive does it by the time of the pic, I think. EXIF data.
See if the EXIF or modified date is consistant on your end.
It could very well be the order in which the pics were taken (EXIF data).
Or the order uploaded (probably not).
It's definitely not name.
Could be forum software doing backup by date and not preserving dates.
Just some ideas.
Very nice, CJ, cute, seductive, great little body, still wish I was in the game.
Not a traditional sting. I was at the red light going north. On the south lane directly parallel to me a monger pulled over to a wg dirty blond. She proceeded to the window. Within seconds an SUV pulled behind them and out emerge a male and female undercover LE running to both sides of the window. She walked and they ran him and he was let go in minutes. No ripping out of the car, no drama, etc. I pulled over to watch. MY point. In the day it seems LE has nothing to do. Be super duper careful!

If memory serves, Linda was very cooperative with a nice personality. I asked for and got a little sample BBBJ. It took a lot of self-control on my part to Stop. I had come to the Avenue in search of a friend in trouble and the search would be difficult after a lengthy date, so I ended things before they got out of my control.
CookyJar.
Not a lot to say about Linda. I was really interested in finding Maylea, so I didn't get to do a full date with Linda – just a quick sample BBBJ.

Earlier last month I visited Kensington Ave searching for an old friend, Maylea. While searching for Maylea, I came across Linda, near Huntingdon station.

I just wanted to sample because I was simply curious how her pussy felt.[/QUOTE]I had seen/dated Maylea earlier that week. The experience left me feeling kind of bad; a little shallow. After a little soul searching, I came up with a plan. I am not sure what this plan is supposed to accomplish. But! Here it is.
Whenever I can, if I am in the area, close by or whenever it is possible; I search for Maylea. If I find her I make her an offer, the same offer ever time. There is to be no date, no pictures and just one proviso. I will give her $20, if and only if, she eats one full meal, at my expense. A hoagie, McDonald's burger and fries, something substantial and after we sit together while she eats and she's eaten ever bite, I'll give her the $20. If she is not hunger or refuses the meal, it's no deal and I drive away.
We have actually done this a few times.
Does this justify what I do? No! Does it ease my conscience? It's not a matter of conscience. In all honesty, I don't know why I am doing this. In the long run, in the overall theme of things, nothing is likely to change. I am who and what I say I am; that is enough for me.
CookyJar.
P.S.: Here is the other reason I chose not to let Linda finish. The last time I had lunch with Maylea, there was this cute little HSW friend of Maylea in the same area. After introductions, I promised to come back for her. Unfortunately, after our meal, when we returned the sweet little thing was gone. So goes life. But! You know me! I keep on trying.

There is no shame to my game. Although I am not quite as old as some on this board have implied, I do have a little age on me. Couple that with a few medical issues and sure; a little assist from chemical science is welcomed. However, I don't think it's as easy as that. Just pop a pill and fuck all day and all night. It's all about the libido.
(I do remember one recent occasion, during a threesome that turned into a foursome and then a fivesome, when I was able to pull off what I think was a small miracle. On that occasion, after exchanging partners a few times I was able to cum three times. But! That took some time, a lot of fore play and one hell of a talented girl. If you want to read about this episode click on this link: [POST=1690067][b] Stephanie An Adventure in Three Parts part I. [/b][/POST] I know the review states that I only came twice. Now that the blood has returned to my head, I am sure it was three; two wet and one dry.)
For some fellows like me, even the taking of the blue pill needs to be done with some advance planning. Them puppies ain't cheap, you know. One time I took the pill as I was leaving my house, on my way to the avenue, figuring that by the time I arrived it would be firmly lodged in my system. Huge mistake! LE was on the prowl, there wasn't a prospect in sight for miles and miles. A lesson learned, right? So then I started holding off until after the pickup. Problem solved, right? Wrong! What happens if you or she suddenly decides, for whatever reason, to back out? It happens. Usually it's on the drive to the room or location after you've noticed a smell, or that she is too high or a flake and that's when you realize that you don't want to waste you precious blue pill on her.
For some reason I wasn't feeling real comfortable with Linda, so I held off on the pill. She looked a little chubby in her street clothes and a little butch. None of which would have matter to me if I didn't have the image of the cute little HSW creeping around in the back of my head. After she took off her bra and panties, after the sample; then I realized my mistake and wished to hell that I had taken the pill.
