I wish I had a secretary like miss Lulu in my office!... nice slim and sexy, congratulations Lonelyshadow, your little secret is secure with us in TDF

Hi guys, thanks a lot for your encouragement, i'm sorry for the low replies but i'm busy working and tired at the end of the day.
i just did a few photos to my honey with a new camera; it's a Sony Cybershot DSC-H300.
It's a good one but i just don't like that it adds more color to the photo...i don't know maybe it's the yellow light in my room :/
And i would like to have the same results as Nova, cause his photos are well defined and even from afar you can clearly see the eyes; mine instead you just see all the make-up and can't see her red eyes :/ If i use flash it just gets too much bright and it's awful
Btw here's some for your eyes

Best Regards

It's great to know that all is well.

The problem is that she wants to see the light of day! Open windows, out in the garden and the town square . . .

Seriously artificial light is hard and contrasty unless one's quite an expert. It's for this reason that I only use natural light, soft and diffuse with a gentle intensity gradient or directional and contrasty. In these varying conditions one can do a light study of head and shoulders and then perhaps she might reveal her eyes.

Other members might have tips also but my other tip is that in order to come alive she's got to start doing things beyond laying there, and possibly telling her story. It's light and shade that has its part to play in that also. A recent photo-series of mine featured one of my ladies saying that she'd been kept in the dark about something. The photo with the darker exposure was interesting visually so the darker photo illustrated the caption.

Hi LS, the pics are great, don´t worry, especially the last one. Harem is correct on the question of artificial light, but I guess you won´t be able to do an outdoors shoot due to your personal situation. An alternative is to use the daylight in your room on a sunny day inside. It´ll have better results than with the headlight in your room or a flash.

By the way, I think that

this is a wonderfully sexy pose!

Is she a DS 161?

She's utterly gorgeous in that pose with clearly enough flesh on the upper arm to be real. Many other dolls are not as well sculpted as this.

Yes - but she's saying that she rather enjoyed the one before!

According to the Matrix, she's a DS 160: http://matrix.dollforum.com/doll_generi ... lnber=1169

Lovely indeed. She also has quite a set of legs.

LS - love the photo of you and LuLu holding hands.

Here is one of the first pictures I took of Rachel; also holding hands.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments and i'm sorry for the delay but my internet line doesn't even allow me open up the google page this days.
Btw everything is going fine, Lulu is beautiful and healthy, i just have to buy her a new wig cause the long one got mess up and feels like i'm touching straw :/
So if you got a nice site where i can buy nice long black wigs just spit it out
Now it feels a little bit old, i mean, i come here say something and put up some new photos in this thread. If it's not good just say it and i'll stop
BUT if you still wanna see some photos....well here they are

LS - love the photo of you and LuLu holding hands.

Well thanks goes to you, i saw that photo loooong time ago and said to myself "when i'll be with Lulu i must take a photo of me holding her hand like LDV did" sooo here is it

You are to be envied. Congratulations to this lovely doll.

She's coming to life beautifully so please continue posting pictures!

Nescio pointed to www.lightinthebox.com for wigs and the wig for my PIB Mina came from there too - although some wigs on ebay are cheaper. Sometimes even "party" wigs can be very good and I think that my blonde wig that Aira wears might even be one of those.

For maintaining wigs use a bristle brush, whether nylon or hard bristles, and start at the ends of the hair and work up towards the head. My wife was highly amused and unamused when I helped her untangle her hair and then she realised that I had learned the skill from . . . dolls.. She really doesn't approve of them - all the sadder for her!

Best wishes

Harem

Yep, indeed i got something like this
I usually make the brush turn on itself from the end of the hair going up to the head. I basically comb her hair like every day if i'm in the mood, i just love being with her, plus i really like long hair so i just love to comb her hair over and over again maybe that's why now they feel like straw?
Or because i let her sleep with the long wig?

Best Regards

Shadow, Lulu has the most lovely long leg look. You sir are an envied man. Don't worry about the photo quality you will learn which is half the fun. Yes the semi-pro photographers are right about natural light, but not all of us have the ability to use natural light. Personally at this time of the year there is very little daylight in Alaska, but come summer I hope to be able to use the over 18 hours of daily daylight.

Don't tell Azure about Lulu's legs, I don't think she will understand.

Great to see that Lulu is really coming to life Shadow! You have taken some really nice photos of her. Also great job posing her. She looks so natural and very sexy the way she is posed in your pictures. And WOW! she is just gorgeous in that black outfit. Meow! I do hope she is everything you wished for and your having much fun with her.

Nova

Hi LS, Lulu looks so good in this outfit, the legs are so amazing! I usually buy wigs at amazon, cosplayland and prettyland do real nice wigs of good quality.
