You were ripped!

Now, you've got me going. Here's my favorite "back shot" of myself

But you forgot to convert it to B&W!

Nat will give you a bad bunny for that. ;-)

I guess I'm sorta breaking the rules but believe me, the nip is just a shadow. Have fun figuring out how I took this shot.

I took this this morning. I used sunlight for my light source. I'm hoping my neighbors didn't see the show .... ;)

[villenadecorte]

Damn woman! What a perfect shape!
If your neighbors caught the show, I am sure they didnt mind ;)
Very interesting shot. It's definitely abstract.

Now that's ART!

Very nice. I'm curious to know how you did it. Outside lighting means a large window or sliding glass door (at least that's my guess). The arm(?) has a funny look to it - was there a mirror involved here? Please enlighten us.

I agree with the otehrs - if the neighbors saw anything, I'm sure they did not mind!

"Won't you be my neighbor?"

Speed, I'm sorry but the secret is too precious to me.

Perhaps, someday if we meet f2f, I might be persuaded to reveal it. But not here.

OK, I'll respect your trade secret.

But if we meet, I do expect an explanation. Your secret will be safe with me. (I have a Top Secret clearance)

O.k. it's been edited

[villenadecorte]

And here are the results of that....

Since its supposed to be an abstract, I cropped and edited down, also desaturated.

Here's a blast from the past! June 1991. This is me and my buddy Chuck after our first triathlon. I'm on the left. This is my favorite portrait of me.

Now remember ladies, I'm a happily married man. Sorry. Now go take a cold shower. ;-)

[natatbeach]

and after speed's post I had to go take a cold shower....And here are the results of that....

and again LOL

This is cool...I like the strands of wet hair coming fromt the top...so where was the camera?

la toilet or on a tripod...youdid a good job framing it all...Thnaks for playing
;)

[villenadecorte]

on a tripod angled from my husbands walk in closet next to the bathtub.... (yes, my hubby gets the walk in closet! brat!)

The original is bigger, includes my face, and more leg. Woowoo.
I have another one, with just a shawl on, against the window, so its silhoutted.

THANKS NAT

a hello...beautiful...

I was showing my husband this thread and we came upon this shot...you have a knack for this portraiture stuff... very nice...

My husband said and I qoute "that last one of adina...I can see her shot hanging on the wall somewhere" and and he said he loved it quite a bit and it was well done...the softness was just right

[walterick]

It seems to me like everyone likes the girls' pictures better.



Wait, I kinda like it that way...

[villenadecorte]

well if you hunks would get more of your bods in the pics.....

It is quite funny the comment that a guys nips aren't sexual but a womans are. In actual fact, both are sexual, just not seen that way in a guy. Is it because woman are looking at the pecs and men are looking at the mammary glands, a bit like the downstairs department isn't it.

Nothing is sexual unless the observer wants to make it that way.

Most sexually arousing images are those where the implied sexuality is there but not displayed, as apposed to sexually explicit pornography images which are just way over the top most times, although I did see one on photosig recently that was extremely tasteful high key shot that I think most comments thought the same.

Interesting thread and discussion so far.

we also talked about that...and THAT is what I want to learn to convey if I ever had the chance to do more...

[walterick]

She wants more of our bodies!!

[walterick]

the problem I'm having here is not being able to "zoom in" as well as I want with my little p&s digi. Plus I'm finding it hard to set up interesting lighting in here!

There, there's my excuses
