Ustas, all I can say is wow! The lighting is superb.
Hi Al,
Thanks. I thought it was IR due to the look of the foliage, but I don't like to make assumptions. :D
Lovely shot. You don't often encounter people in IR shots, but it certainly works well. Very nice.

I think that if you review some of the posts even on this thread you will find comments that are tacky to say the least.
But let's look beyond. We are on the internet. Anyone can look at this site without being a member. Anyone can link to photos posted on this site.
A few years back I had placed a number of my nudes on a figure page on my web site. At one point when I was checking the log I found that there were a number of links to the figure photos. Tracing the links I found that most of these sites were porn sites. No telling how many more of these sites were using copies.
When I photograph a nude model I try to produce a tasteful photograph that shows respect for the model. Since most of these porn sites were XXX I don't understand why they would be interested in posting my photos except that it is another fresh photo of a naked woman to paste into their clutter. I took down the figure pages from my web site and deleted all of the images from my IP.
Thus I say it is risky to post nudes because I am sure that there are strangers who visit this forum and appropriate our images for their own use. Nude photos especially will be subject to misuse.
The same is true if you put up a photo in a gallery. Strangers wonder in, shoot copies with their cell phones, then post them online.
If you're worried about folks stealing your images, you should put them up on your basement wall and make
your visitors strip before viewing, leaving all their belongings (including their cell phones) upstairs.

Very nice. I wonder how you would make a model hold still with Maco IR today?? ASA 6 does not afford much shutter speed. The old Kodak HSI was perfect in that application.
Yup, people are going to stare at titties either online or in a gallery. It's the American thing to do.
Well, not completely nude, but ...
