not sure why you think that? Looks fine to me, well done by photographer and model!
if you look carefully when the model is "sitting on the log", well how do you say it... the model MAY have been sitting on a green or blue object that was edited out when the back ground image with log was set into frame using photo sop,,,
but the log is not at the models ass... if you had the ability to get a measurement of the log from the lens.. its most likely 4 feet BEHIND the spot the model is actually sitting on..
There are many photoshop how to videos that show you how to make an image of a person sitting or jumping on a piano key that has been taped down.. the whole trick is to get the photo subjects feet on the same plane as the depressed keys surface.
that wasnt done for the photo..
crappy editing, but eriously what the point of it

Some folks represent themselves as professionals while, in fact, they are not- too bad! Perspective brides and grooms should vet their photographers, check their credentials, scrutinize their portfolios, seek out word-of-mouth referrals and recommendations, and make certain the photographer can produce the style they want.
Perhaps they should have consulted their knowledgeable uncle (you) who seems to know something about photography.
QAs far as sexual orientation and race, I prefer to think those traits or circumstances have nothing to do with a photographer's talent and skill. I know many photographers who are straight and white, like me, and of many are of diverse races and religious beliefs, some are of other sexual persuasions and they are all successful in business, and many are grand masters of their craft.
Obviously, the folks who covered your niece's weddings were less than professional.
Hopefully, the entire market is not inhabited by hacks and quacks.

The whole photographic market segment seems to run on the followin gconcept "you scrub my back, ill scrub yours". "you dont report me for the naked woman chained up in my back yard last night, and i wont report you for selling meth".
When projected image is the only thing that matters, no one has any concern about others image, as long as others claim their own projected image is real. Hard to digest? it comes down to "i know we are dumb, but if you say im actually moon gender, ill claim that you became a woman because you wore a dress this morning".
Just look at the actual websites for these frauds.. look at magnum? the big photo wharehouse magazine place thing.. in the last 8 years, no new white heterosexual men have joined..
Look at the art galleries, look at ilford website since the BLM crap started, god there are people becoming stars in the photography world simply by taking ten shots of drug addicts in philly, but only if black, or female.
Look at the advertising for main photographic retailer websites.. like MPB have the whole advertising scheme, in their own commercials, etc.. that any time a non white woman buys a used camera from them, they INSTANTLY become the greatest profressional photographer.
Actually saying that great revelation gets you kicked off of most main stream forums

And the two of us are teh nursees aids.

All the ads and promotions seem to concentrate on Canon, Nikon and Sony. Seems like all other brands have died or are near extinction. Pentax is one of the brands that fall into that category. I have started with Pentax back in 1964 and have used them ever since, starting with the H3v with a clip-on meter, going with the Spotmatic, the K10, K3 and an assortment of Takumar lenses ranging from 28mm to 300mm. All great products and after all these years all of them still work. Trouble is that Ricoh is failing to promote an excellent product.

its hard to promote product.. They do have smart people in that company. And when they realize that its not fiscally smart to have a booth with DSLR cameras, at a trade convention aimed at ONLY mirrorless, there is no need to attend.
Magazine advertising is PAID... always has been. Canon and Nikon and Sony put more money into advertising then they do designing new lenses.
petapixel is a photo blog that has essentially black listed pentax products..
a few years ago a company in japan, fuji? did an aprils fool advertisement for a digital sensor that was attached to a film canister to be used in film cameras.. saw this advertisement today

why buy a digital camera?
But pentax has something special, that is no longer of interest to the digital camera market. MIRRORS.. i need a mirror for vision problems. I can only actually SEE through that EV finder thingy, about 10% of the time.. i cant even see the big back screen as i need to wear sunglasses when i go outisde.

I don't bring up family. Family does not belong in this forum.
I don't know if I would agree anyway. I have seen numerous violent k**lers and other criminals in prison, male and female. Many came from some of the best homes with in my opinion good parents who treated the children well. Parents only have so much influence on children. The peer group of the children has as much if not more influence on the kids than the parents in many cases.

And some of Australias finest founding families are also some of the old countries finest sheep thieves, and animal "lovers" that chose deportation or dying in prison.

2 years ago, next week. My lil niece got married, and teh so called "wedding photographer" used one of these two lenses on a Nikon D750 body to do the wedding.
The wedding photographer had an assistant, that was admitting to "paying the photographer" to be allowed to come along and help out in order to "learn photography". The assistant was toting a D3500 with an unknown 300mm lens.
The actual "photographer" had come to the wedding spot 10 days earlier and looked around. At about 1130 am on a very sunny day. The actual wedding was held at 3pm. on an over cast day with minimal light. On my own light tests, the camera meter wanted me to slow my shutter speed down from 1/150 to 1/16.
The professional wedding photographer did not even have anything to deal with the fact that the sun was setting directly BEHIND the bride and groom the whole time... not even a CPL or lens hood or ND filter.
EVERY image she took had the lens set wide open. Absolute garbage. Perhaps the center 3rd of each image came out in focus. And on most of the images she let the photoshop AI thingy do little tornadoes of cartoon pumpkins swirling all over. It was embarressing. Geuninely embarrassing.
The "paying student" was actually equiped with a lens hood at least, and knew how to MOVE POSITION when shooting,,, to alleviate the sun.
The photographer market is a joke now, always will be. Anyone presenting as NON white heterosexual male always has instant doors opened for them no matter what limited ability they do. I have seen some of these self proclaimed photographers not even know how to TURN their own camera on.
In fact for a straight white man to become a photographer with actual clients, they need to specialize in crime scene photography, or product photography
God, what a crock of crap.... looks like you found a link to a website for 10 year olds researching dungeons and dragons.
anyone can set themselves up as wedding photographers.. hell you can set yourself up with nothing more then a canon t100 and the kit lens.. just get basic photoshop and run the ai program. Youll be set.

leaving it in a locked vehicle is actually MORE secure then sending it through the luggage terminal checkpoint.
And although i havent kept up on this woman,, the means is fine as to how he did her things.
In most jurisdictions, locking a firearm in your trunk or glove box is considered legally adequate and secure storage.
The same should apply to any other item you lock up in them.
The issue i think is that the mfocus on back ups... is rahter bad really

legally speaking, most of those forms are still classified as secret or top secret, and if any american serviceman gave them to ANY one from another country, it would qualify as espionage. And have i think a minimum of 5 years in federal prison.
Yet i can order them online.
If im not mistaken, the manuals from ww2 would have had a death penalty clause if given to the enemy during war time.

I just need an idea to figure out how far left you are.. seriously i do.
SO I am merely trying to see what your fetlife account is, so i can see.
Need to know if you are a member in the tribe that claims its "rape" when a man says hello to a woman. Or if your a member of the tribe that says its "r****t" when a store sells out of something and a non white heterosexual male comes in and wants one, and cant get one.
There are a large number on here that are deffinitely well into the "we dont care that Obama built the "cage" detention cell, but we can blame trump for using them.." and the "Biden sniffs underage children in public even when they start trying to get away from him, but its evil that Trump said pussy"
but the wall was called r****t when trump started it... and the libbies tore alot of it down
yes yes let discuss things..
Can the Original Poster share his fetlife account name here? His rhetoric is identical to almost everything on that website that i need a reference point to use in discussing.
Its been proven that Biden kept his daughter locked up in mental institutions after he had her get an a******n after he got her pregnant.
No one seems to have an issue with Biden being a sexual d*****t, not only the sniffing small children thing, but the fact that when he was VP he would force female secret service agents watch him swim and walk around nude.
And how come none of you liberals discuss the fact that your biden has made numerous statements that his favorite part of being a child was "watching black people get lynched while sitting on his daddies lap/shoulder." Or that his greatest regret is "he didnt get to have those experiences with his own son"
