ShibariKate

Thank you And as to your question, I honestly have no idea yet what kind of pictures I want to take. I mean, I've always been the type of person that, once I start analyzing things too much and complicating them, I stop seeing the value of why I am doing and enjoying it. So I like to look at things in a simple way. With that said, of course, I also accept the inner child in me and when I see a new "toy" to play with, I simply "play" and have fun, trying new things. especially when it comes to things graphics and computer related. So I did play a bit with the windlight, on these pictures, using Fairie Blue as the setting, and then adjusting the slider until i felt i had a good enough light to highlight the scene without taking out the background entirely, but just enough to make it look important. It took me over a week to plan this, finding the right poses, the right setting, and then finding the right spot in the setting, the outfit, the effects. It's like working on a puzzle until all the pieces fit in nicely. I never really knew how much effort and planning went into these so I have a much better appreciation now of everyone's pictures (not to say i didn't appreciate them before, as i did very much so lol) because of that experience. If anything, it made me love them even more than before I also want to explore this a bit further, as I explained to Roxy after I was done, i thought about maybe using the picture to create a "comic book page" feel to it, or even edit things a bit to create a "comic book" type cover in a photo editing tool. I'm undecided on that yet though lol All I really want to do is continue to be inspired by everyone here, and then show my appreciation by sharing the pictures I am inspired to create from the effort everyone puts into their, and just have fun at the same time making them

here are the rest of them

I wanted to try something fun for my second attempt, so I asked my friend Roxy Couturier to help me out. She gracefully accepted ! Some of the pictures turned out much better than I expected. I ended up taking 6 shots, and at first, debated only sharing the better ones, but after some thought, I figured I'd share all 6, and get opinions on them all. I tried to go after several angles, some turned out well and some not so well. but the picture of Roxy turned out rather well.. i just love those eyes Anyway, I hope you all enjoy these as much as i did taking them (I'll post them all in separate post later, since I can only upload so many pictures at one time)

aww i am sorry to hear you were having one of those days, but i am happy that i could make even a tiny difference to make just a little better and ty as well for the wonderful compliment. i am curious though, why so much love with the name "Kate", if i may ask ?

more importantly where is this outfit from, that skirt is stunning ! ((oops somehow this got posted twice on a page refresh when Chrome froze on me.. noooo idea how to delete this, sorry ))

Scylla, i've loved your style since my friend Roxy Couturier showed me this thread over a month ago, but this... this goes beyond selfie photography.. this is art ! and not the type of art that one just looks at and goes "wow this is amazing"... this is the type that is appreciated and admired as something more than amazing. and yes, i've been looking at it for more than 20 minutes admiring it.. and i simply want to say "thank you".

totally agree here, but the one question Scylla didn't ask... where is that outfit from, especially that skirt, it's a stunning outfit

I wish i was in Rhonda's place right now holding that door, aaaannnnnddd.... he was the one i keeping from going anywhere *purrrrrrs* mind you, i wonder how many people in this thread dreamed about being in that room while Rhonda stood in front of the door 😜

Robbie the Robot meets R2-D2 meets a Dalek ? lol i wants !

i would love to know how you managed to achieve this look. it's beautiful !

OMG you're instantly on my awesome list !! as a female gamer, Ratchet & Clank is one of my favorite games ever, i have the entire series from PS2 to PS4 (including the remakes lol), so when i saw this picture, i found myself yelling out loud "Lombax!!!" thank you for making my morning now i have to go back and replay the games 😜

looking forward to seeing this

love this picture, looks soooooo relaxing !!! and great look btw

thank you so much, and yes, it's gorgeous isn't it ? it's the Sabrina from Valentina E. at this month's Fameshed

Hi, My first attempt at this, since, after spending weeks perving everyone's pictures here and loving how much talent there is, i decided i would try and see how it would turn out. thank you for inspiring me ❤️

oh...ummmmmmm can i take you home ? PURRRRRRRRSSSSSS

such beautiful eyes !!!

ty for this, i'll be shopping today for this outfit

rarely do i meet someone else who uses curves and understands them well enough to know how to. this is brilliantly applied, well done i love the clone tool, but at what zoom % do you use it ? i always use it between 400 and 800 % personally. i find catching the pixels directly, while time consuming, well worth the effort in the end result

my jaw dropped as soon as i saw this picture. the "white background" really helps bring out the subtle and simple highlights on the body / dress. this pictures displays amazing photography talent. kind of reminds me a bit of belly dancing with the pose. love to see what she would do with belly dancing as inspiration

BEST PICTURE EVER !!!!!!

wow.. just wow.. beyond gorgeous !!

OMG i want that floatie.. Pink Flamingo!!!!!!

wonderful picture. i wonder if this might be influenced by an Anime. my chidren have me hooked on one called Ge ge No Kitaro, and this makes me think of that Anime

i normally don't post, but on this one, i simply had to. the head position, the background, the hat (love this hat lol), everything working together so perfectly. absolutely breathtaking !
