The fruit ripens

[vaneramos]

Bill bitterlawngnome shot more photos of me yesterday morning, same location, different light. Take a look and let him know what you think. Working with Bill is a powerful experience and one I hope to continue whenever inspiration leads.

They're beautiful...and so are you.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Awww, you charmer! Thank you.

[dakoopst.livejournal.com]

*shrugs* I call 'em as I see 'em.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sorry for being flip.

[dakoopst.livejournal.com]

LOL...you weren't being flip, you were being funny! My reply SHOULD have read:

*shrugs* I call 'em as I see 'em. ;)

They're nice, but the color balance in the skin tones seems to be off to me.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Bill would know better than me, but I think that's the ambient light under the foliage.

[photoglh.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's definitely the ambient light that's causing it. It could be corrected in Photoshop, but that may be against his philosophy of photography. For all I know, that may have been the exact effect he was going for.

Correct color balance has always been a problem for me since I tend to see things in B&W. I occasionally dabble in color photography, but I tend to stick with B&W since that's what I'm comfortable with.

You might be interested in seeing the first set Bill took in July:

It's the green light, filtered through leaves. IMO a desirable effect.

[bitterlawngnome.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't be tiny.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Yes, a nice big Schwanz as they say in German.

[quirkstreet.livejournal.com]

Exquisite.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon. Maybe someday you'll be there, too. I would love to see what Bill's camera could do with you.

Delicious new icon.

[quirkstreet.livejournal.com]

I'd sure hope to have Bill take some shots of me.

I like the icon too. Uploaded several this morning. Such as this one.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Grrrrr, handsome!

[zombietruckstop.livejournal.com]

As always, such sweet pictures!

I'd love to have copies of them (or of the full photos if they exist!) I have quite a waffle file these days...

Nice to see you around again. We should chat again when you get the chance...

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I'm afraid I have pretty much abandonned chat. It sucks up way too much time and I'm not good enough at multi-tasking. I'm trying to make time to keep up LJ, and something else had to give. If I go on, several people will try talking to me at once, and I can't deal with it.

You can copy these pics for your own use if you want. I'll see what else I can find.
