So Gerri (my better half) tells me she's glad I'm addicted to Pentax.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Tough call Don I suppose the ideal scenario would be shooting your Pentax for Penthouse

You have a beautiful wife Don, but I think you used a rather unforgiving lens.
And maybe you should have waited a bit, to give those bra marks a chance to fade away. And the chopped off fingers.........:

But hey.....I should not give C & C anyhow, I have no experience at all, in photographing beautiful woman, let alone in a glamorous pose like your example.

Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.


Curious about my photography?? Just Follow the Light.

True and true...
thanx for the c&c. even with that lens...a little talc, and no touch ups...that is a 45 yr old woman....
that is an unfinished image. I also am playing with an umbrella I modified with some foil to creat a hotspot in the center with softer edges.....
straight from the camera to aperture, with only a vinette added.
now later, when i get some time, I'll touch up the skin, clone out the strap mark, and add a acid edged border that will crop it a little tighter.....and I'll updat it, but for now I got video projects rendering and tying up my computers, except for this older one, that doesn't have access to the aperture libray, or photoshop...
check it again later and see if it improves...

I answered 'Penthouse' to the poll.

I don't see why it's such an unpopular option - I already have a Pentax, but a Penthouse as well would be very nice, preferably overlooking the river.

Sadly, I don't think they allow dogs.

Exactly, although I suppose 'sadly' is slightly counterintuitive in that sense.

I am a little shocked that John would be making risque comments though. It's not what I associate with my mental image of him.

But maybe I'm completely wrong

It was the word "sadly" that had me confused
