“So what did YOU do this evening, Tacit?”

I have a problem. I am, you see, plagued by boredom. My days stretch out before me in an endless vista of dreary ennui, because I never seem to have anything to do. At least, that’s what I must be thinking, since I’ve started working on a huge new Web site with tips and tutorials and how-tos on BDSM, in spite of the fact that Onyx 3 still isn’t finished yet, I haven’t touched the book I’m allegedly working on in months, I have at least two other unfinished writing projects on the back burner, I need to set up my darkroom again, and the apartment still looks like a Category 4 hurricane went through it just moments after a Columbian drug gang staged a violent coup in it.

Ahem. Anyway, the first tutorial I’m working on is a photo how-to for making rope and chain harnesses, with the lovely joreth as my model.

I haven’t even begun to process all the images yet, seeing as how we just finished shooting all the pics, but I did pick out this rather lovely image from the raw photos, which I rather like.

    • Yeah, more lighting would help with that, though you’d need to hold the pinwheel with some sort of off-camera prop, or have an assistant. A zoom lens might give you a better chance of getting all of her in focus. Still, I rather like the wide-angle effect.

    • There are images which are more sharply focused throughout, but one of the things that struck me about this image is the shallow depth of field. I like the way the chain becomes slightly softer in the foreground; it focuses attention on the Wartenberg wheel, I think.

    • I have always favored shallow depth of field as a composition tool. This photo came out of a “how-to” shoot, and I rather like how the wheel is sharp but the rest of me fades very gently out.

  1. Hot.

    Oh, so you’ve been to my place? 😛

  4. Great shot!

    Also, I’m going insane trying to figure out where I’ve met you. You turned up on my OKC match list, and I’d *swear* I’ve seen you before somewhere…
