I'm sure aquilo meant no harm but I'd rather tweak my own photos (not that I have). As for going to the local college, I studied there not so long ago - not sure I'd like anyone there to see me in my undies. I've no idea what a professional would charge, ballpark figure? (not that there'll be any balls :shock: and it's too cold for the park just yet).

I think a more central location is needed, where we can chuck the bloke out!
We could send him teasing texts though!

Maybe this is just me... but I feel a bit uncomfortable with members taking other members' photos and messing around with them...
Am sure you meant it with the best intentions Aquilo, but I'd be a tad livid if that'd been my photos.
In fact... think am off to make all of mine private now. This thread has perturbed me somewhat.

Must admit, I'm inclined to agree with you - particularly as the watermark has been removed from the boots picture.
It appears I have made an error of judgement... I did not mean to cause offence and to those concerned I apologise.
I have now removed the images and they will not return!
The reason I used Sassy's own non-explicit pics was to show her, and other members, the effects that can be achieved very quickly using Photoshop on images you may think are poor. I felt that seeing images that she was familiar with would enhance the effect, and I chose two images that were NOT explicit, I would NOT have posted naked pics.
On reflection I now wish I'd used generic landscape pics to show the effect... or not bothered at all!
I suddenly feel so dirty....
Once again, to those concerned, I apologise sincerely.

Well you didn't offend me Aquilo - it's just a bit of a concern that the images can be copied and cleaned of the watermark, really. I'm sure you didn't mean anything other than trying to be helpful though

Thanks for that Freckledbird...
I was just trying to show that Sassy's photographs could be made more eye-catching with very little work. As I said before, I would never have used explicit shots... but I accept the reasoning of the comments and my apology stands. My actions were borne out of male 'lack of common sense!'
Peace

You still need a photographer to take pictures to make them more interesting. Photoshop can help but you still need a photograph to begin with.
H.x
You're absolutely right H. Photoshop can do a lot of clever things but the real trick is getting a good photo to begin with. Lots of people think you can get any old picture and tart it up with photoshop, but this is not true. You also need to get a good quality, well composed, picture from the outset, which can then give you the flexibility to bounce the quality down if you need too.
Despite what many think it's not so easy the other way around. Also by making sure you've got a good quality photo from the start saves you a lot of unnecessary messing about in Photoshop, and some of the creativity is easy and quicker to do when you're taking the actual photo.
Sorry for the slight rant it's just that being a graphic designer, with experience of photography, I come across this all the time.

My point about Photoshop is not that it replaces the need for good pictures with good composition, lighting, etc... but that, IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SKILLS OR EQUIPMENT to take the quality of shot you desire, it can help make your existing images much more vibrant and attractive.

Who are these people?... most people I know who take bad images have no idea what Photoshop is, let alone have knowledge of it's capabilities!
You're missing the point of the comment bbw_lover... you have years of experience like myself... and so of course YOU know about the importance of a good quality photo/image... but the info in this thread was meant for the majority of people who do NOT have either the technical or artistic expertise, or the time!, to produce the desired results 'organically'.
So, the idea was to point out that... if you have images ALREADY that you wish looked better, then it is possible in Photoshop to enhance them and at least make them more pleasing to the eye. The key word in that last sentence was ALREADY.
I think we're getting off track here a little.
Speaking for myself (wouldn't dream of spaeking for Sassy) I'd like some up to date photos. I can't tut at people having old pics on here when my own are two years old. I could try to do them myself again, but using a camera on a timer switch is laborious and the outcome is never that good. Finding a professional or semi-professional who's willing to take the kind of shots I'm after isn't that easy, you can't just stroll into Olan Mills and start taking your kit off, you get thrown out (no imagination those people).

Sorry if I helped to take it off track H-x... it just baffles me why people have to come across with a negative vibe for no valid reason!
*Negative vibe?... 60's flashback man!!*
In reference to you getting new photographs, I understand how difficult it is for women to have this sort of shot taken but maybe this idea may help?
Why not arrange to meet with one or two other members that:
a) you know
b) want new photographs taking themselves
meet at one of your houses, book a photographer (semi or pro), and have your pics done individually (but at the same time!).
This way you get a photographer MUCH cheaper (though I can't believe you wouldn't find a local amateur to do it for free!), and you would all have the added safety of being there for each other instead of the daunting thought of meeting your photographer alone.
Peace

Hi all,
If you want some sexy pics taken then i think you can find some companies in bridal magazines (?!) these days. When I was getting married there were loads of ads for them as naughty wedding presents for your other half.
Hope that helps

There is a female photographer out there in the North East of the country and she does Boudoir sessions for women, doing sexily shot pics etc, I've seen some of her work online (and she's an active member of a non-swinging site that I use) and she seems well thought of and reliable.
I don't know if I am allowed to say PM me if you want the details of her site but she'd be fairly easy to find by googling I imagine - she's who I'd use if I had that much spare cash

Just a little word of caution, I asked someone i thought I knew well to take some ermm underwear and a little more showing pics, they were good, well I liked them, seemed he liked them even more and they ended up in a top shelf mag about 6 months later,not in 1 but about 5 different editions,seems he had sold them on, this was done without my consent!! Soooo choose carefully who takes them xx

is it possible to insert a photo here in the thread? I have some I want to display but dunno how to do it :

Sorry Aquilo, I don't know what's made you so angry, but I understood the request was for a a photographer. I think most people would find Photoshop extremely difficult to use and a bit of an expense to boot.
Also I was merely agreeing with H-x. Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly enough but you seem to have taken it personally?????
And finally in answer to your question "Who are these people?... ", these people are the ones I come into contact with, on a daily basis, during the course of my work, and most of them are aware of photoshop.
Unfortunately this doesn't preclude them from taking bad photos. Knowledge and experience are not necessarily the same thing.
I just wanted to clear things up and this is by no means intended as a confrontational response.
