Re: Right Angle Lens Is Available.
[QUOTE=G Malav]Hey CJ, this is soemthing you might want to look into. It is a right angle lens attachment. This way you look like you are photographing something in front of you. In actuality you can shoot something to your immediate left or right. I'll go one further and say if you have a PayPay account maybe everyone that views your handiwork on a regualr basis could through a few bucks your way to help with the purchase of the right angle lens. Heck we might as well get SE one as well based on his picts. Click on this to see

I once tried using a 200mm telephoto from a parking spot a half block away and still felt very uncomfortable. It is funny how a camera draws attention.
The recon pictures of the hot little thing prancing around in the park were taken at dusk and people noticed the flash right away. A few nosey people walked oven in my direction. One HS couple inquired and I told them I needed some stock shots for a project.

Darlene – A Beauty with Class
Like I said; I don’t usually do recon pictures, especially now that Davey is not around to confirm the identities of the girls pictured.
[QUOTE=CookyJar]Darlene may be a girl with a problem, doing things that most women would call disgusting, but, she does what she has to do, while keeping her head up (no pun intended), a smile and sense of humor – that takes class.

[u][b][post=1043078] Darlene [/post][/b][/u] is very sexy. That’s obvious. If you can get comfortable with her line of work, you’ll find that; she is very classy, appealing and beautiful.
JMHO

Re: Darlene - Still Classy
[QUOTE=CookyJar]It takes an extra set of balls to take recon photos. First you’ve got to locate a SW. Then you’ve got to be careful that she doesn’t see you taking her picture – without her permission…

There were a lot of people in the park that evening. It was a nice day for a stroll. Darlene was very willing and just a bit nervous as she frolicked in the park. The camera attracts people like a magnet. If you look in the background of Darlene & Friends 71 you’ll see the Hispanic couple who came over and interrupted us while we were shooting near the rock. (I’ve enhanced the photos just to make the point. Taking outdoor nudes in an adventure.) He knew what was going on, she didn’t have a clue.
I love taking out of door photos.

Re: Darlene - Still Classy
Hey CookieJar, Darlene is a cutie. I like the setting for these pictures, and the twilight lighting. It makes a nice background. I'm trying to actually learn something about photography, and this low-light situation that you shot is really nice.
Are you using any kind of diffuser on your flash, or is it a direct flash? Does your flash angle up and down? If you flash can angle up, you might want to angle it a few degrees up when shooting pics like these because the best lighting should be more toward the face than the belly (at least when clothed). A diffuser would also help to even out the light.
Are these two pics you posted of the same girl? It's the same place, and it seems to be the same girl but in the rear view the skirt is sparkly, but from the front it isn't. Is that just an effect of the flash? If so, a diffuser might have helped with that too.
I'm looking at a Nikon D3000 package with two lenses and a flash, but I'm still a month or so from getting it. Do you have any specific suggestions for photo equipment? I have a little $100 POS digital camera that I keep in my travel bag, but I'd like to get somthing that will be a real step up.

Inside I use a diffuser and bounce lighting techniques. For some special lighting situation I setup a tripod. However, in most cases it’s the shutter speed and aperture setting that makes the difference. Inside I’ll use my mobile flash with an umbrella diffuser. Flash lighting works for must situation. If you want to be creative, try to reproduce natural lighting effects from artificial sources.
Outside is a different story altogether. Now you have to contend with nature. In most cases natural lighting will suffice for a snapshot. Creativity comes when you combine nature and technology. It’s extremely hard to bounce light off of a cloud. You can improve on your lighting situations by subject placement, using nature as a backlight. (In my case the light reflection from the river was a great help.) I was able to stabilize my depth of field and enhance the background. You’ll note that where there was not backlighting, the background was flat. Fortunately the sun was down and I didn’t have to contend with coarse shadows.
Remember, there were a whole lot of other technical disadvantages I had to contend with. The biggest problem throughout the entire shoot was avoiding being arrested for indecent exposures (pun intended ;)).
Same girl, same dress, it’s odd how the flash caused that shimmer. I seldom use my lens diffuser in low lighting situations. I do have a diffuser specially designed for outdoor photography. It is most useful in bright sunlight. The problem is, it’s adjustable and takes a little time (that I didn’t have) and darkens the through the lens view finder at a time when speed (not shutter speed ;) another pun) is of the essence.
I have used Nikon SLR products for years. I use to recommend Canons SLRs because of their ease of operations. Digital cameras are new to me and I have not been able to compare the two brands. It would be interesting to know how they compare today. The biggest consideration, IMHO, is the cost and quality of compatible lens and accessories.
Hope this helps (;) anothe pun, I hope the informations helps - the pictures speak for themselves).

Alexus – A rediscovered beauty
I found her. Alexus was reported missing in action. She didn’t go far. Our last date,[post=1037204]”Playing Nice”[/post] was a real flop. But this one turned out pretty nice. She really showed off. I have had 5 or 6 dates with Alexus and most of them where great, especially [post=969327] Aundrea & Lux – revisited [/post]. All of the dates I had with Alexus that included another girl were superb – maybe that’s the key.
On stage, with a dance pole, she was in her element. The girl has real talent. This was my second visit and the owner gave me permission to use the stage. They were not open so there was a little clutter in the background. Alexus could have cared less; once she was on that pole, she did her thing. I was pleasantly surprised and so was everyone else.
