Ankles Away - Imitation the highest form of flattery
[QUOTE=Glockman;2905398]...I've seen your Ankles Away and they are fine. You are right though. It looks simple but it is not easy to get a good result. I think that I am good at it because I am pretty much non threatening...[/QUOTE]No it is not easy, and it takes more than just being non-threatening. It takes talent. But! Once again, Glockman was right; I do have a few good ones. Although they are not nearly as good as the Glockman, they do show a good attempt to take on the challenge of a new pose.
And these are mine. I was so busy looking at the Glockman's, that I hadn't taken the time to notice my my own.

Ankles Away – Variations on a Theme
While searching though my pictures, I came across these variations on Glockman original pose. They may not be exactly what Glockman had in mind. They are the results of the evolution of his vision as it is seen by me.
He is the inventor, he owns the patent.

Ankles Away – My failed attempts
[QUOTE=Glockman;2905398]...It looks simple but it is not easy to get a good result...[/QUOTE]Then I went to my own archives and worked backwards. I quickly came across a bunch of what I thought to be failures. They certainly fail when compared to Glockman's.
After looking at my fails, I realized that the fault lay mostly with me, the photographer. Sometimes I took a picture when there was no picture to be taken. What I mean is that, I forced a shot simply because it was in my view finder. There were other times when the girl just wasn't capable of the pose.
Usually, I would instruct the girls on the pose, then have them position themselves and then once I was satisfied, I told them to put down their legs and relax. I told them to relax while I focused and readied the camera. Once I was ready, I would count to three and then they were to strike the pose and I would take the picture. I did it this way so that the girl would not be straining to hold the pose while I set-up. This worked for some girls. They would easily open their legs, smile with little effort. Others would open their legs; forget to hold their legs straight and wide, forget to lift their head and to smile, resulting in something less than I had hoped for.
Whenever anyone, not just photographers, take a picture, they want it to be perfect. They want their pictures to resemble exactly what they imagined they saw in the view finder.
For me, these maybe nice pictures, but they are not what I was looking for.

Glockman's Signature Shot – The Ankles Away
I started by doing a little research, trying to determine why Glockman's always looked better than mine. So I went back and found what I thought were good examples of his work. Then I tried to determine just what makes a picture an "Ankles Away," shot.[INDENT]
1. The legs have to be spread wide, out and not just up in a V-shape.
2. There should be no bend (or little) at the knees.
3. The pose should look natural, relaxed and not forced.
4. There should be a sense of uniqueness and sparkle. (Every time I look at a Glockmans Ankles Away shot, its like I am seeing the pose for the first time.)
5. If the girls face is in the picture, she should not be grimacing and appear comfortable.[/INDENT].
Glockman's Ankles Away shot, in there simplicity, always seem to include a multiplicity of elements. They imply sensuality as well as fun.
I've included a small sample of Glockman's Ankles Away shots, that I selected for contrast. I could have picked from any of the many that he has posted, they all have the same qualities.
Aries, looks almost angelic.
Bea, looks almost impossible.
Chrissy, is playfully rousing.
Honey & Bea, look like so much fun.
Mimi, looks hot

Glockman's Signature Shot – The Ankles Away
[QUOTE=Glockman;2905398]You flatter me too much. I've seen your Ankles Away and they are fine. You are right though. It looks simple but it is not easy to get a good result. I think that I am good at it because I am pretty much non threatening. Otherwise you get a shot where the lady looks like she would rather be anywhere else. I also do it towards the end of the photo shoot where the lady is relaxed and feels good about things. Almost all the ladies think that it is fun to do at that point. Here is another good example.[/QUOTE]I am not patronizing. It is true. You have perfected the, "Ankles Away," shot.
I hope you don't mind if I have a little fun with, your signature shot.

How About the "Shrimp" pose?
[QUOTE=CookyJar;2944236]
And what about the rest of the forum? Maybe they don't want us wasting internet server space.
CookyJar.[/QUOTE]Well, y'all asked.
I'm still partial to "the shrimp pose"! Nothing more erotic than the coochie peaking out between two beautiful legs and the curve of the hips!
BUT! Such a shot requires more skill as to capture depth of field, alignment, etc to capture her smiling fave as well, especially with such a "strong" foreground! LOL!
Just my 2-cents worth, fwiw.
I'll watch youse all battle it out!
