Thanks Yeah.. seamless paper does have odd floaty effect sometime. There are two shadows on side, but they are very nimble

Nice shot Sergeir...for ME the mood is right. The lighting is great and you have really shown the curves of the female body. For ME the shot is not just about seeing a naked woman but showing the beauty of the female form.
Thanks!

Thank you. There are different schools of photography (or lines of followers of particular paths). Some go after "natural looks" , some go after "natural poses", so just go there for sake of seeing bare skin & etc . Each has their right to exist, i think. I, personally ,like to go after good shape as well.

Here are my first two sheets of HP5 (4x5) ever. I just picked up an old speed graphic on craigslist (from a member of LFF, by the way, who told me about this site) and here's my first two shots. I had exposed 4 negatives, one got mangled in the holder as I was re-inserting the dark slide (newbie mistake when loading I assume), one didn't come out as anything interesting, and these two I thought were ok for my first attempt to dip my toes in.







What do you think? I think I'm hooked.

hook line and sinker, great first shots.

Great shots of a lovely model. I like the lighting and composition.

Keep up the good work.

Cool. A great way to get started. You could always take pictures of flowers later on.

Thanks all. Now all I have to do is resist the temptation to buy a more serious camera for a while, until I actually know what I need.
