Soaked CK Bikinis

Nothin' like soakin' in a hot shower in my favorite new pair of underwear. These photos only tell part of the story. Enjoy! ;)

Amazing photos. When do we get the rest of the story?!

Nice package you got there. More photos?

I love those shots of you in the soaked bikinis.

But off the subject some, why is the lettering in so many (if not all) photos backwards? Are the briefs on inside out, or a characteristic of the digital shot, software or uploading?

secondskin, hot pics yet again !!! yum yum!!!

why is the lettering in so many (if not all) photos backwards? My guess is that the pics were taken in a mirror. Those of us who don't have a photographer on call have to be creative when it comes to taking self pics! Quite a few of mine were done in the mirror but I use Photoshop to flip them so the lettering looks right again.

I saw a post the other day, think it might have been from SmoothChris, suggesting that people invest in a mini tripod (or even a big one) and use the timer button on the camera. It's a good idea if you can be bothered setting it up.

Hey guys! Thanks to you all for your comments. My photos are shot with the use of a mirror for the most part. No assistant to share in the fun unfortunately. :rolleyes:

Actually I have to say that I had never noticed that secondskin's waistband lettering was reversed. Could it be that my eyes were diverted elsewhere?? :rolleyes:

I generally use a tripod, plus Canon has a few remotes available for some of their camera. The automatic flash is your enemy in indoor photography, and you're better off not using it if you have a tripod and you have that option on your camera.

This makes me think that maybe I shold start a digital photography forum. Could also address photo manipulation and other technical aspects. I know I get lots of emails asking how to resize images.

I agree, a natural light is better and I use a tripod too :hump

I don't think it is possible to say that natural light is better, or that artificial light is better. I have taken both good and bad self-pics by both means.

With natural light, it seems to depend critically on the angle of the light, and whether it is direct or diffuse (i.e. as on a cloudy day). Cloudy conditions (but not too dark) seem to be the easiest to work with because there are no great brightness contrasts to deal with. Good shots can be obtained in sunlight, but you have to beware of shadows. A shadow falling across a subject can make it look as though it is cut in half.

As for flash, it's a matter of trial and error. My camera has a degree of automatic compensation, but it does not always do what I want it to - it reacts to the brightness in the whole scene, but of course the part of the scene it needs to get right is me! The position of the subject in relation to the normal light in the room, the distance from the camera (which determines the brightness of the reflection of the flash), the colour and reflectance of the background... all these make a difference as to whether I get a good self-pic or one that is washed-out.

The good thing about digital, of course, is that you can just keep trying until you get a decent shot, and delete the shit shots.
