Blue Moon – Temptation

kweide — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:16:11 +0000

While on the wooden ground, searching for nice looking positions, i could see in her eyes a rapid change in attitude. She was no longer searching, she had indeed something already in mind. So i decided to follow her thru the camera finder. That was a very good idea, when suddenly the gameplay changed and she altered her pose to a massive diagonale one, changing the facial expression, her right hand quickly grasped the silky veil to open just a touch of tempting view on woman´s attractions. Well, i made the picture, what else could i do ?

And after such success she moved herself into another pose, very quickly, i had some problems to track focus on her and she gave me a new attractive and tempting position. Again i made the picture, with a smile in my face she already recognized and took it as positive feed back.

Blue moon ? Have no clue

Still sitting on the wooden ground, still wrapped with veils, silky fabrics, still moving around to find comfortable and attractive positions :) And suddenly she sits there, a bit upright, head lowered and said “I can´t find attractive positions …!” “Oh, my dear that is an attractive and relaxed position”, was in my mind and i made the picture.

Having that said loud, she laughed out loud, leaned back a bit and got another relaxed and attractive position. I had no other chance, it was a “Must make Picture”

Blue Moon

Sitting on the wooden floor. She, just 3 meters away, posing, trying different looks. Me, watching her thru the finder, judging, seeing, enjoying :) and suddenly it is there ! And i simply press the button. “Sit relaxed”, “bow the head”, ” a bit more”, “now to other side”, “give me a soft smile”, “forgive me, it is just me, i am such a fool” And she is gently moving on the ground, changing position after position. I could hear the soft rustle of that veils she loves so much. It is a concentrated environment, intensive, hot, full of emotions thru the emotional layer which is working between us both, leading us to intensive, sensual pictures which have an impact. Try it you own, build up a scene which is within the comfort zone of your model and let her act. Be the observer, give just a little advice, support her with positive feedback, not too much. And i promise, you will enjoy as well and get pictures with an impact which open up the observers eyes…

The Queen

The Queen of Olive tree in the pale light of the moon under a sky made of steel. Waiting, waiting for the harvest to come, which is already approaching.

Man in the moon ?

As we were little children we were told about the man in the moon. Mam and Dad told us lots of stories about “The man in moon” and that he can see everything we do here on earth. Even what i am doing here in the backyard :) Shit !! So the man in the moon is a bloody spy, no a voyeur !

Last night he tried to proof whether there is a man in the moon or not. Okay, we all know man was on the moon and the first on was Neil Armstrong. Google it for the younger among us. All the other older folks here: We watched it on television. Boy, that was 100% excitement. Okay now. He, our hero and Mrs. Robinson lover, looked at the moon and saw nothing but a bright spot. After taking a telelens inclusive extender to his cam he saw the moon with a lot of details and my God he saw the truth:

No man in the moon, It is a girl !!! And she loved to be on the moon, just dancing in front of the bright scarred moon. And look how she did that night. Amazing, playing around with some cloths. He was bamboozled …. that made him nervous.

But this is my conclusion: It is worth looking to the stars, they are closer than you might think ! Or was it just the neighbor in her open window ??? :) :)

Some hints: To get a big picture of the bright moon you need focal length. And i mean focal length. Dont try it with your P&S Cam. You would only see a little white spot nothing more. You want more size and more details of the moon, you will start with at least 500 mm focal length, better 1000 mm and a stable tripod. Do it with ISO100 and open aperture, switch of OIS, IS or how it is named in your cam. Go for SPOT metering, and please: Switch off the flash !!

Searching

Last night he built up his camera configuration to catch the moon again. But what a shame, it was not possible to see the moon. Many reasons for that. One of it was CLOUDS. Big fat grey clouds closed the sky so no light came thru, no blinking stars and no bright moon visible. I see what is in your mind… :) But the neighbor was again activ. Watching her from the window it looked like she trained for a model job, doing poses.

He was lucky and bold enough to catch again one scene with her. Boy that looked as if she could see him, as if she did this pose just for him. Teasing him…. Did she see him ??

For sure she did ! In real life she was just a few centimeters away. And she played her storyboard very good ! We had fun fun fun and laughed a lot. You want some details again ? No problem.

Olympus E-5 + Sigma 50 mm, f2, ISO 200, 1/80 second. One single hotshoe flash fired and bounced to my left against the window to get diffused “window light” on her face. No tricks just standards.

Just as further information: I did the moon as well. See this small picture as a proof.

Details for this shoot: Olympus E-5, ISO. Zuiko 50-200SWD, EC14, ISO100, f5.6, 1/125 second, spot metering, IS on, no tripod
