First post in update is post number 323

New thread - Nothing But Quality.
I'll post what I think are the best pics of girls that I find. Not all of them will be completely nude, and what I think are good pictures will change a lot. Some because the girl is really pretty, some because the photograph is very good, and some because there was something about it.

This first one is in black and white, but I'm not one of these guys who thinks that to make a picture into a photograph all you need to do is make it in black and white and voila - l'object d'art!

Nope, photography is a love affair with light. It's seeing how light plays with the subject, how light envelopes it and how you capture the light. And what better subject than to see the way that light attaches to a girl?

This one is a pretty good photograph, it's well posed, the girl is stunning, but what I really like is that the highlight is on her lovely bottom. I try to look at her face, because she's just gorgeous, but my eye is attracted to the highlight on the opposite side of the photo.

She's pretty, she's enjoying herself, and she's got a lovely hint of nipple.

Again, it's the lighting. If you missed it, the line about the way that light attaches to a girl is from "A Long December" by The Counting Crows.

I like the natural pose, and of course she's very pretty.

Attitude is important, and being able to get it in a photograph is priceless.

Brunettes with blue eyes slay me.

I love this picture. I think it's the Girl Next Door quality.

Some studio shots will be in this thread.

Want a peek?

A few of this girl. It was the combination of the white comforter and her tan lines that I liked.

And she looks so comfortable.

Soft lighting is nice.

Pretty, natural, comfortable, casual.

Pay attention! You DO NOT have to frame your subject in the dead center of the frame. In fact, you should frame your subject in the "thirds" of the frame. Her face is a third of the way to the right, and a third of the way to the top. See how much nicer it looks?

Depth of field is important in portrait photography. Notice how her right nipple is in sharp focus, her face is just a little softer, and her left nipple is out of focus? That's not an accident.
