Another Big Bash and here is me still with a hangover from the last one, some night. Good to see you surfacing again Thpon, the moment I saw this thread it brought a big smile to my face and great memories came flooding back. There is a scurrilous rumour doing the rounds that a long departed BM might be floating around town the latter 10 days of April. :rolleyes:

Nice gloss of Anna's legs, baby oil-ish almost. :rolleyes:

Just the two, unless you consider the Canary Islands in Africa lol. Groped a black chick in Cuba once, guess that does not count either. :D

Another horizon shot, with the sailing boat almost on the intersection of bottom and left hand lines on the grid. I placed the boat here to give the effect of it sailing into the photo.

Sunsets: Sunsets follow the same horizon rules, and I usually place the sun where the lines on the rule of thirds grid intersect rather that in the middle. Of course you can use landscape or portrait here, depending on the effect you are trying to achieve. Most cameras have a sunset mode which enhance the colours. Beach Road never looked so good.

The quality of the girls in those photos is indeed very good. Not had a chance to hit the PIs yet, but the more I see of it the more inviting it becomes. Thanks for the photos Lin.

Good to hear Larry and hopefully some photos should surface as soon as the heads clear.

Happy Birhtday from Ireland DeepThroat. Have a great night.

Hopefully next time I am in Los I can take a crack at it and get some photos that are worthy. :D

I didn't mean the little chick in the second photo. :P

This lady had been getting a bit of publicity in the press here recently. Is she obviously one of ours, or a GG? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1342414/Amazon-Eve-worlds-tallest-model-6ft-8ins.html

Horizons Part 2: Let's stay on the beach for a bit longer. Usually when you take photos of the horizon you can align it on the horizontal on the rule of thirds grid. If the sky is clear it can be best to align it on the upper line to emphasise the vastness of the sea and if there is a cloudy sky you are normally best to place it on the lower line to give a more dramatic sky. It really depends on which of the two you are trying to emphasise. To place it in the middle of the frame cuts it in two and is not very appealing to the eye.

Horizons. So you decide to spend a day at the beach with your chosen lady. The water looks like a great place to take some shots so your shoot some nice photos. You get the girl posing like you want her, and then review the photos. They look great, but damn the horizon is slanting at an angle. This a common mistake guys make. They are so preoccupied with the model they forget the background. The free software Picasa allows you to rotate the photo to level the horizon. See the difference it makes in the examples below. Again always trying to fill the frame to give that close up feeling with your subject.

Cheers for the lowdown Terry. There is always some excellent new talent coming to town for sure, much better looking than the so called superstars in my opinion and that of many BMs I reckon. The old baby oil tubs are gathering cobwebs in my cupboard, hope to be able to dust them off some time in the coming months. :D Hope you are keeping well.

Welcome LuckyLove, nice selection of ladies in the photo, something for most tastes I think.

PASS. :P

Anna in the first photo looks ominous. I can imagine waiting in the wrestling ring and looking at her entering. Both my hands tied behind my back to give her a fair fight. :rolleyes: Oops, think I am typing out loud. Nice shots Jim.

In the following two photos you can see how I composed the face. In the first photo the girl is facing to the left and so I positioned her more over to the right to give the feeling of space to the left. In the second she is facing more directly towards the camera, so I centred her slightly more is this photo, but filled as much of the frame as I could with limited space above her head.

Now that's what we are talking about, what a face, wow, nice find Terry. :rolleyes:

You are correct Larry, nice pins on May indeed. And Nut is very photogenic also, never a bad photo of her.

Haha...classic Billy, and probably not a million miles from the truth. Good to see you here pal. :D

Now now Larry, just trying to give Jim some instant help. Perhaps he doesn't have time to trawl through the forum looking for a time saving solution. :D Anyway back to the thread. That Face looks tasty indeed Jim, big truncheon you say. :rolleyes:

Ok gents, you have the lady back in the room on a lovely Thai or where ever you are sunny afternoon. You think yeah she would look great posing in the window area or on the balcony while you shoot from inside the room. Everything looks perfect, she is playing up to the camera and you take your shots. You review them on the monitor of your camera and to your disappointment she appears as just a silhouette. What can you do? Well the easiest thing to do is force your flash to go off and therefore illuminate the subject. You can use this technique outside in daylight also where the sun is behind the subject. The lovely Liou was kind enough to assist me in illustrating this point. Guess which one used the flash? lol. http://www.best-family-photography-tips.com/fill-flash.html http://www.digital-photography-school.com/using-fill-flash

I agree with a lot of what SiamSam, PD and yourself wrote, but this in particular hit a cord. It's that wonderful feeling when you head out onto the sois with a few 1000 Baht in your pocket, knowing most things are possible. When I worked in Bkk a few years back, it got to the stage where guys would say they weren't going to bother scoring on a particular night, that tells its own story.
