Thanks for the snide remark. Your wish is fulfilled. I won't say you are jumping to conclusions because you have made a point to preceed your comments with a question thereby making it clear that your following comments are based on an assumptiion.Bobman said:This is nothing about technical aspect. One thing bothers me is (I hope AM would not say I jumped into conclusion again ):
Is this the dress suppose to be (splitted to side ways?) or is she lifting up the skirt? ...
I am learning how to comment, so I make any mistake, shoot me. I will take it as learning. If you ask me to post my photos, sure if CS allow me to post Nude.

As for posting photos, many have posted links to nude photos in their site and you have shown us you know how to in your posts in the "Workshop/Studio shoots" section.
On the other hand, you have been participating in others' organised shoots. Surely, you would have some keepers from those shoots which you could post if you wanted to. Take for instance, equipped with a "white lens" and more than 4 hours with 7 models at the Charby's recent shoot here:
Iirc, it was not a nude shoot.
I am sure we all would be keen to learn from the pics of a pro studio-owner. But then the choice is yours whether to share with others your expertise or not.;

AncientMariner said:There is no malice intended.
Since he made reference to me, I was just replying to Bobman and really anxious to learn.
Sure, I suck at photography but I do have results, lousy as they are to show my progress or lack thereof. More importantly, I don't hide behind false statements. Don't you know award winning pics are not confined to nudes and many are portraits of people with weather-beaten faces, unkempt hair and crumpled clothes?Bobman said:Now cannot liao, Photobucket kenna ban for nudes and so are m0n0beautee
Aiyo, y old liao cannot wait. Want to take my pix now wanna see my pix.
That's insulting to call me a pro, just pro!!! I expect something better than that :angry:
Next time if you want to take my photo tell me liao, I will pose siew siew for you. Sucks model like me only sucks photographer will take....oops! Not you hor.

Btw, I didn't asked for your pics. You are the one who invited people to ask you to show your pics in this thread.
As for your other comments in post 28, Well, teacher, I remember Dale Carnegie once said something to the effect that any fool can still teach me a thing or two.
A camera is just a tool and photography skills are just an means to an end. Besides your "specialty" nude pics, and artistic pics, there are a lot more practical uses. They are great recording instruments. That pic of yours was posted merely to debunk the impression you are trying to give that you only do nude and cannot post because of clubsnap regulations. Now that there's no denying you do use your camera other than to snap nude pics, can I assume you are avoiding replying to my "testimony" because you are not prepared to share your pics with us? Of course, I did say that that is your prerogative and will not insist since it's your credibility being questioned.
Deadpoet said:Good play on bokeh, I like it. That, unfortunately is about all I like with both pictures. Whoever came up with this outfit ought to have his/her brain (the creative and asethetic center) re-examine. For a photographer to accept this out fit, well, see the previous sentence. Forget about the short not matching the top etc etc, just ONE simple thing, the outfit made the model looked like a BIG pear. Not flattering at all.
By the way, who did the make up? It absolutely did not work with the outfit. What are those sliver shinny thing underneath the model's eye???? For a black or dark color party dress, maybe, for this table cloth, please, spare my agony.
Exposure is a bit under, a bit of fill flash would have saved the day. Photographer must be in control of the shoot. We can not let stylist and make up artist run wild.
