It's been nice catching up again on Gin's photos. She looks so cute in that mesh top and little panties.
I love this B&W photo, too. Great shot

Thank you Jonathan. That one was with the phone bokeh-effect feature. Some of the less-quality pics I like the most.
There should be a thread of low-end and botched shots that the shooter still likes, with explanation why you like it. Anybody?

Nice use of the window light and a simple, lovely pose from her here

Thank you Michelangelo. She is a bit crouching towards the camera.
Your Miranda has great thread, we are gonna check that more often!

Rehearsal pics in the makeshift studio

Rehearsal pics? Is there going to be more?
I really like the lighting effect here playing with the hat and the darkness of the background.

Thank you Canvas, next week we will shoot more. The "studio" background is just black textile draped to the wall. My late 5 mp camera struggled with it but the new-er seems to cope better with the auto-iso setting. I don't have any serious lighting but would like a narrow-beam spotlight from v e r y far for sharp shadows on her face. (Gin always asks more glamour type shots: "You promised!")

Silicone seems to be good material. Already my doll got a stain from that blue shirt with black outlines, but as the fine people at TDF has advised, the stain is now all gone by itself. And the shirt, too. Despite powdering, that silicone gets everywhere - even some of my CD:s started flitting.

Sorry for quoting an ancient post, but I'm new here... I have two questions based on the comment above.

1) What do you mean by "that silicone gets everywhere"?? It sheds??
2) "CD:s started flitting?" Audio CDs? What are you talking about?
3) Can you please provide a link to whatever thread/post you referred to at TDF that gave you the instruction that removed the stain you experienced?

Thanks so much.

Oh wow!

Very classy shoot Ginevra

Hi Electric Barbarella,
1. That redundant silicone was just some mould release agent on the doll that I soon washed away. It does not shed. I don't know if Sanhui has changed their manufacturing process but it is generally advised that a wash with diluted soap is good for the start.
2. That agent got to my hands and at the evening I was playing music on CD:s (was drunk too!) so that's the flitting cause. Memorable night.
3. I searched posts at TDF about the stain remedy (don't have links) - the wise members stated that silicone outs coloring by itself in a week or two. The stains were gone in 4 days. Thank you for asking!

Hello Leatherman
Thank you! I was photoing today but nah...just have to do some new soon. Gin sends her greetings to Florida, that oncoming storm was in our TV news for 2 days!

... what?? Are you saying the stains just go "out" as in fade away on their own without any particular washing?

Wight · Post by **Wight** » Fri Sep 01, 2023 4:25 am

Yes. Silicone is stable and doesn't absorb, to some point. Marker pen can cause problem though. Check these links:

Oh I haven't seen Ginevra in a while, I always forget how adorable she is!

Loving the pics Wight, well done!

Thank you JustDude for the comment, Ginevra will love to read it!

Glad we caught up on your thread again, Wight, that is a fantastic use of shadow (and a hat!).

And a great job on the background, I still struggle with those.
