nudes and sunsets

[FrankS]

Both have been phtographed to death and to the point of cliche, but I'm attracted to the former and indifferent to the latter. I don't know why.

Post 'em if you've got them.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

I forget which is which: former is the first and latter is the second? 😉

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

I'll be the first to test the waters...


Just processed this one today:

Leica M6 + Ilford HP5+ / 50mm Summarit f/1.5

Interestingly enough, the sun was about to set.

That's not really a mystery is it? 😉

Gabriel: Is this a sunset or a nude ? Frank ... help me out distinguish between the two!

Very nice indeed ... in all aspects, Gabriel. You used an M6 and I am now going to buy an M6 to be able to take such photos of sunsets.

Gorgeous shot. The fact you focused on her head shows a lot of self-discipline too.

 

[boilerdoc2]

🙂 Wow! That is gorgeous - as is the model.
Please post more sunset pictures!

I like this picture. The neck the hair and the naturality of the woman. Something like a picture from an art movie.
Have you ever tried to make motion pictures?

 

[Crasis]

I'll be blunt, and I don't expect forgiveness but I feel that for such a statement as Frank made, it had to be said.

Why you like nudes more than sunsets: Cause your penis says 'I want to **** that', but your brain says 'Pretend not to know so I won't look like a sex crazed man'.

You're good Gabriel, you're really good.

I'm sorry....what's the topic?

Ha.....I'll try to be first to throw a wet blanket on this thread.

Let it be known I prefer nudes to sunsets too, but it's easier to find willing models in the latter category.

Going to be interesting to see you improve on what you're shooting now, Raid. Let us know when you get a couple weeks' use on it.

 

[Creagerj]

nah I like nudes more too, but its a lot less uncomfortable to admit that you like sunsets more than nudes in front of certian people, unless it's your dude friends at monday night football in which case I recomend refrianing from bringing up the subject.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

Thanks, guys 🙂 I only had one session with her before she left the continent. I have two more rolls to process. I don't post "the other sunset" type of pictures because it does make me slightly uncomfortable still.

I just had to share that one. I am really happy about how it turned out. 😀

Sooo -- I'm the only one that has a nude shot in his arsenal? My...

I think you have just given me a project FrankS - Nudes at Sunset! This could be a challenge at Northern latitudes in October....😀

No Nudes, Just A Sunset

No Nudes, Just A Sunset

Even the sun isn't nude in the shot...it's got some cloud cover.

 

[Ash]

Porec, Croatia... more of a cloudscape but there we go.

I have nothing against the people personally, but I steered clear of the naked germans/croatians on that trip. So no nudes I'm afraid.

I agree... it's p*ssed on my fire as far as wanting to get some good nude shots when they'll look like any others people have taken. (hmmm apart from a few crazy ideas in mind 😉 )


EDIT: forgive the hairs on the scan
