Lovely photo, I hope to see more from the series.

Beautiful!!

Very "Marilyn" look about her: the hair, the eyes, the smile.

I applaud your choice to portray a plus size middle aged woman as being sexy 
and desirable.


There's no portraying about it, she is incredibly sexy and desirable.




Wonderful photo!

Cheers,

http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/image/128917054162

We used her apartment which, though small, is full of light from
south-facing windows. I brought all my lighting gear, but left it all
in the cases and simply used two large pieces of white foamcore and
800 ISO instead.

My shooting partner in this outing was Judi Willrich who also did an
outstanding job with Cindy's hair and makeup.

I'm really beginning to get used to the Pentax medium format. I didn't
use the tripod even once and I was shooting hand-held and close to
wide-open aperture most of the time.

645Z, DFA645 90mm/2.8 macro, f/3.2, 1/125th sec, 800 ISO, handheld.
Window light + white foamcore reflectors.

Comments welcome!

Very good - there's a lot of character in that shot.

Spider Photos

[jtainter]

For the past couple of weeks I've been photographing a large spider that comes 
out only at night. Then yesterday morning I noticed that it was out, and 
wrapping a wasp. Two of the photos show the silk coming from its abdomen. If 
interested, the photos are over at dpreview:

The first of the shots wrapping the wasp is superb. The others detract from it

Re: PESO - Beetle on a Leaf

[Daniel J. Matyola]

It is indeed a Japanese Beetle, the scourge of anyone who loves roses,
hibiscus and other flowering plants.  in addition to the beetles
devastating our flowers and shrubs, their grubs destroy lawns.  Nasty
little bugs.

That is, however, a fine image.

After photographing, I recommend you crush it between your thumb and

Re: PESO - Beetle on a Leaf

[Mark C]

Nice photo but as noted, a destructive beetle! Good practice nonetheless.

Uninspired title.

Have no idea what type of beetle this is - how many million species of
beetles are there? He's about twice the size of a lady bug. I rather
liked the iridescence (which I suspect would be spectacular in the
sun) and the little white tufts on his sides:

Any help on species would be appreciated.

Hope you enjoy. Comments welcome.

cheers,

PESO ~ Cindy in the window

[Bruce Walker]

In a continuing quest to push my personal boundaries and break out of
my comfort zone, I shot a boudoir session -- my first ever -- with a
plus-sized, curvy, middle-aged woman on Thursday.

http://off-axis.brucemwalker.com/image/128917054162

We used her apartment which, though small, is full of light from
south-facing windows. I brought all my lighting gear, but left it all
in the cases and simply used two large pieces of white foamcore and
800 ISO instead.

My shooting partner in this outing was Judi Willrich who also did an
outstanding job with Cindy's hair and makeup.

I'm really beginning to get used to the Pentax medium format. I didn't
use the tripod even once and I was shooting hand-held and close to
wide-open aperture most of the time.

645Z, DFA645 90mm/2.8 macro, f/3.2, 1/125th sec, 800 ISO, handheld.
Window light + white foamcore reflectors.

Comments welcome!

Re: PESO - Etobicoke Creek

[Bruce Walker]

I agree with Ken on the excellent composition, Frank. Well chosen
s-curve. :)  How far up is this from Marie Curtis Park?

Re: PESO ~ Cindy in the window

[Knarf]

Beautiful!!

Very "Marilyn" look about her: the hair, the eyes, the smile. 

I applaud your choice to portray a plus size middle aged woman as being sexy 
and desirable.

Wonderful photo! 

Cheers,

frank
