Julie was depressed when she discovered, upon reaching the end of the rainbow, that the leprechaun was at lunch and had left creepy Earl the copy guy to cover for him.

After about a half hour into the session, Brian's aperture was beginning to expand.

In reply to "The Mother." I did not misunderstand the nature of nude photography. How do you do it?

Bill's Bayou said...

Never pose for a photographer who's stomach sticks out further than his lens and his dinky.

Nude Photography: You're doing it wrong.

In Arkansas, all fathers are happy to take their daughter's senior photos.

In North Carolina, it's called a "Sex Offenders Database." In South Carolina, it's the only way to find a good photographer.

Coincidentally, this is the same photographer who took the photo for last week's caption contest.

In low light, he drops his drawers and becomes a tripod.

Bill's Bayou said...

Just a note about photography: The sun to her back is a good idea in the harsh light of mid day. He has positioned the model so that what he sees will be in shadow. In this light, that would eliminate harsh contrasting light on her front.

So far so good.

Thus, this is a shooting situation which calls for a fill flash or a reflector. Without the flash, if you meter on the model, the background will be overexposed. If you meter on the background, the model will be too dark.

This photographer might be using a camera mounted flash, but he is holding his camera incorrectly by 180°. The on-camera flash will hit the trunk of the tree and create a trunk shadow in a line down some portion of her face and torso. If he spins the orientation of the camera 180°, she will be more evenly lit. The best option would be to use an off-camera cord and hold the flash high and to the photographer's right.

Set the camera to "Time Priority" at 200th of a second and meter on the background. Adjust the ISO to get the aperture as wide as possible. You may need a neutral density filter on the lens. As opposed to my tripod substitution suggestion above, I'd recommend using a real tripod for this shot.
