Wow, great shot! Those suckers are hard to capture. What camera are you using, P&S or DSLR, and what kind?

Here are some of mine. The only adjustments are white balance for the flash and then cropping and/or resizing.

I cropped this one from about 3450 pixels wide down to about 2100 wide and then resized it.


These three came when I figured out a better place to shoot from and aren't cropped, they have only been resized to fit the web nicely.

not quite in focus, but close enough for govt work.

much better focus

I don't know why my images were taken off, nothing was showing. The one image that you thought you might be seeing something was so air brushed that it was more art than photo.

Oh well, guess it must of been the subject matter it's self. Girls are just naughty I guess.

Sample; at risk of being banned by the religious right.

kach22i:
The reasons are simple:

1. By the 10th "Edited by Z-man," I didn't feel like dissecting the posts, and just deleted whatever was there. Did I throw out the baby with the bathwater? Probably. Too bad.

2. If people push the limits too far one way, I'll push it back the other way. You must admit that the Paris Hilton shots were clearly inappropriate per the forum rules. Had that not been posted, and then RE-POSTED 5-6 times via quoting the original post, I probably would have let some of the other pics slide. That is the cost of pushing the limits.

Oh, and here's my random pic, taken on the way home:


-Z-man.

PS: Just to set the record straight: I don't have anything against women, and I appreciate the beauty of a woman's body. But it is not appropriate to post such pics here: they are against forum rules, they can jeopardize Pelican Parts, and they are NSFW (Not safe for work), and it is sexist to post stuff that turns women into objects. Wanna oogle woman? There are plenty of other sites for that.

Actually, as someone who browses at work, and has several female employees, I appreciate that aspect.

Re: Re: Humming

Thanks for the compliment.

Picked up a mint Canon S2 IS whilst waiting/saving for my D200.

Cool. I work with a guy that upgraded from a D100 to a D80. He was considering the D200, but decided that the extra strength of the chassis and the extra buffer, what he said are the two biggest differences between the 80 and 200 wasn't worth the extra money for him.

The hand grip of the Nikons is very comfy and the ergonomics are pretty good, but I've always been a Canon guy.

I'm betting that dressed differently she could look very hot and conservative.

I quite like her.
