As you can probably tell, my theme today was "red". 🟥
With that being said here is a bonus picture
Happy Thong Thursday 🫡

Also please dont forget :
"There has been an observation made: some of the regular posters, myself included, post more than one image. It is courteous to allow them to finish posting before making comments or starting to upload your own images"

And to the posters: If you post more than 1 picture, then it would be helpful if you conclude your work with a finishing post. ☺️

I certainly don’t want to bother anyone.
I just noted that the dress doesn’t seems to follow her body, breasts a.s.o. but seems to float slightly above the skin🤔
 
Like the Mortensen photos I post, Myster uses light, and breeze and other external phenomena to good effect. Photoshop is a development of the last 30 years. Mortensen wasnt doing a lot that was truly new, and Myster isnt really either....They blend Art techniques with photographic techniques with a painter's eye....Let them do it.

Weeeellll, it's almost that simple. I've had problems where many times the camera simply can't capture what the eye sees. Doing a fair amount of photography in Southern Africa, unless you set your camera up to lower the exposure, the sun is so strong there that just about every clear day shot will appear overexposed. There also are cases where to photograph someone who has a much better tan installed at the factory than I do, even with the pro Nikon and Canon equipment, you simply have to shoot in 12 bit and adjust the contrast curves or black people's faces will get too dark around the sides of nose and lose the contrast that defines a face and makes a face a face. I can post some photos that show this.

Also, what most people don't know is that back when film was a thing, each manufacturer had film tinted to make the skin of the people where it was sold to look healthier. Film I bought in Japan actually had a yellow tint to it to give people a healthier looking appearance. When I used it back in the US, there was an odd yellow tint covering everything. Who knew?

I've also taken photos of the Southern African sky while driving into a rainstorm where the clouds are purple and orange as lightning flashes, and then there are special morning greens you can see sometimes. In both cases, shooting at 12 bit color, that's 12 bits each for red, green and blue, those colors just didn't come through. I had to selectively bring up some shades so I could see what I saw - and it still wasn't enough.

I guess I'm trying to say that the camera doesn't always take the photo that you are seeing with your own eyes.

But there are actions in Photoshop that clearly alter images beyond what was seen. Even the cameras themselves come with lighting presets to attempt to approximate the lighting conditions that the photo was taken under and compensate. And even with the pro equipment, I still have to adjust most of my images to 1) get an image that was what I saw and 2) fix the image that I saw so that other people want to look at it.

Really. In midday, the sun is that butal. Texas is still hotter, but that sun means business.

Also, the sun is BRUTAL in parts of the south of Africa. But it plays an amazing role in the animal's lives. You just can't see a lion or lioness sitting in dried grass. You can be looking straight at it and still not see them. To show off the lions I photographed, I had to use Photoshop to make them stand out just a little from the surrounding grass so that people could see that "Yup, there are lions here. Oh, and there's another one. What, another one? How many lions are there here?" What I mean by that is that they blend in so well that it's easy to see how any prey could miss a 300 lb 6 foot plus lion stalking them.

Anyway. Fun conversation. I love talking about stuff like this because I had my own preconceptions about something as simple as taking photographs and then reality taught me otherwise. Just sharing what I learned.

That was really interesting to read and a lot new stuff to learn. (y)
Growing up with smartphones I feel like I am missing out on the true beauty of photography.

In the big picture not directly as a response to your message but about the thread in general I would say this thread is about positivity and most of us post what we love and if others love it as well, perfect.
If not, i think negative response doesn't belong here. I don't think there should be "eews" here or "that shit looks photoshopped" unless its against what Vixen imagined to be here or if its against forum rules of course.
Me, personally i am grateful for the awesome things posted here, and if I'm not like "wow" I am usually still like "hmm interesting".
It became my favorite thing to look here first and check what's been posted before i post mine :)

I agree. This thread is glorious. Hopefully, some of my photos will be able to add to the variety and be of the quality we'd all like to see. fingers crossed.

With many of them, I'm posting images that are about 2560 pixels wide so if you want to see the glint in a leopard's eye zoom in. And since I have the originals, I can post photos up to 8200 x 5500 pixels (upload file size permitting). Just let me know if any photo stands out and you'd like photos larger than 2560 x 1707 or if that's good enough.

Yes same here, this is one of the only threads I get notifications for and its really nice to see what people have to contribute. Even if a post is slightly blurry, photoshopped, or even AI, I appreciate the eye-catching stuff that doesn't spoil everything all at once and leaves some work to the imagination! :)

Yes - it is a big and known problem among photographers that it is more difficult to take good pictures of vera dark / black people, well black panters too. Because most digital camera used can‘t show the contrast from bright to dark in same degree as our eyes can. It is becoming better and as written with a higher contrast resolution, now 10 bits, but I can see you know of systems with 12 bit, that should make it much better - if shown on a compatible screen.
So unless the surroundings are dark too, you can‘t show the differences in shade in a dark face and at the same time show the surroundings.
I guess that is why face-recognition system makes many mistakes when it is dark / black people.
Some argues that these systems are ‘racistic’. No it is simple photo technic.
And it seems they haven’t solved the problem yet.
Some digital cameras / mobile phones can activate a function where 3 consecutive photos is exposed different and they are then combined to one photo.

I will say this: My wife is a pretty good photographer, she has tried to explain several things to me. I understand "lossless" and a thing called HDR (?) and she has explained that she doesn't take JPEG pictures. Her cameras will take five images and overlay them and the results are quite stunning. Look, I don't really understand what I am trying to talk about, but she says you have to process almost every picture you take with a digital camera just like you must have done with film cameras.

This is supposed to be a gallery, so I'll shut up now. Let's all just enjoy it.
