I could not agree more with the above, reason why I posted the quesyion in the first place. I like light on skin, and the way it can be used to showcase it. Nudes for me need not be naked, be it men or women. There are alot of body parts that can be photographed apart from breasts etc. I am not saying that these can not be shown - just not in the way that alot of people (IMO) are showing it. A whole lot of these shots tend to be glamour type shots that would easily make it into a whole host of mens magazines. And the best bit is the ratings they get. Take one woman snap a couple of shots of her naked, dont bother about light and voila - we have 6/6 or 7/7.

I sometimes do the odd nude, but usually stick to other stuff. I have been a pro

photog for 7 years now doing photojournalism and more recently moved into the

commercial side of things. One thing that I have picked up viewing nude images

is the difference in shooting style and character to an image if shot by a male

vs. a female. I think women percieve their bodies far different to what we as

males sometimes do. Some of the stuff I have seen on PN is downright ugly and

borders on pornography and have no place here. Others are well lit and executed

shots. What do the female members of PN think about the female nude? How would

you like to have u'r o bodies portrayed?

Mine is simple and straightforward...<div></div>

Hi

 

I recently bought a 18-135 as a carry around lens to supplement the 50, 85 and

70-200 nikons I already have. Yesterday all the lenses just stopped auto

focussing on my S3 pro. You can still take pictures when the lenses are

switched to manual but on single shot auto focus nothing happens, both shutter

buttons are completely dead, the shutter wont even release on single shot, but

it does release if the S3 is on continious focus and manual focus. I have

tested other lenses and they all do the same. So a problem with the cam. Anyone

have the same exp or solutions?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

I just recently bought a Fuji S3 Pro. I have always liked the colour and sensor

etc. Problem is I have shot with Canon my whole life and have no clue about the

nikon optics. The S3 will only be used for portrait work in studio and out. Was

thinking about 85mm 1.4, 70-200 2.8 or even 200 2.0. Any suggestions would be

welcome. Looking for something with good contrast, sharp etc, weight not a

problem, aperture 2.8 and larger and it has to be able to last a good couple of

years and take a few knocks along the way. Oh, and be able to AF on the S3.

 

Thanx

Hi

 

Will a Sigma 24-70 2.8 Nikon Mount work on an S3 Pro? Any issues related to the

mating?

Hi

 

I have a 1dsmkII and as back-up a 30d. From me another thumbs down for the kit lens. The 17-85 is not a bad choice but if u want to go full frame later on it's not going to help alot. The 17-40 f4 is a great piece of glass, especially at the price and later on together with the 70-200 f4 IS or non IS u will cover a pretty decent focal range. Agree with other comments about the 50 1.8, have one myself and love it, and for +-$80 it's a steal. The 20mm mentioned is also a good choice but will leave u a bit short for other things. I played around with the 10-22 for about a week and although not L quality glass its a pretty decent lens but still relatively expensive. My choice would be the 17-40 for now, together with a 50 1.8. And for later the 70-200 f4 or f2.8's and maybe 85 1.8/1.2.
