Well since many are posting many thing WAY more showy than this, and I can find this in any news stand mag like maxim – here is my contribution to #thongthursday just for my buddy +Jessi June who has my back in a bar fight…. This was shot a few years ago when Brent was much more concerned about camera settings than arm position…so many things get forgotten when shooting, hair, makeup, not bending your arms…PS: models really should have removable ones… So my tip of today is learn your camera, learn your setup and then be able to forget about it when shooting so you can concentrate on getting the shot. Because there is nothing worse than not getting the shot and suffering through the editing of shots that are close but no cigar… View this post on Google+

(PS: if your trying to download the Lightroom Update right now – Mine is really slow so can you all just stop till I get it 🙂 ) Probably too Sexy – thou clearly #thongthursday goes way above and beyond what I post…. still trying to figure out why a shot with no nudity got flagged the other day.. maybe I am just totally missing something others see…. I just wish there was a reason for flagging so at worst I can understand what is going on…and adjust my posts as needed. *So all I ask.. if you plan on flagging my stuff.. that is your right, please do not abuse the right.. maybe just uncircle vs. flag and please take a second to let me know why in the comments…. Thanks to all my great followers…. Oh and if you like my stuff – +1 and comment and let me know..

Latest shot before I remove Photoshop and Lightroom and reinstall everything to hopefully correct my very strange color issues… It has a bit of nudity in the shot – Please take a moment to go look – If you do not have a +500px account you can see it here on my site also: http://500px.com/photo/3708524 Direct on my site:http://blackdiamondproductions.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/dr1.jpg I would really appreciate some feedback and critiques as to emotion and look of the shot.

Well last night was a success in my opinion. Joined by 10 shooters, +mark daughn +Frederick Van Johnson and +Luana Lani as the model… Everyone came away knowing much more than they came in with and hopfully we all pushed them out of their comfort level a bit to push them all including myself to a slightly higher level with their photography. Watch for more workshops coming in the future. Watch the +TWiP and +Mark Daughn Glamour Workshops pages for more info. This shot was the only one I grabbed during the evening as the dude that assists, students come first..and time was very shot, but this also shows me that I need to uninstall and reinstall Lightroom and Photoshop because of incredibly strange color casting issues upon export of images from lightroom…. so very strange… Last night +mark daughn taught us all that sometime you just have to not follow the rules about how to light a model…. and sometimes lighting for mood can make you stand out from the crowd. I have to agree with that philosophy….. This post has been reshared 4 times on Google+ View this post on Google+
