Well, the Category D Challenge is always a challenge for us! I'm not very good at photo manipulation and the girls know that too! So there was a lot of discussion as to how we were going to do the Exotic Candlelight Dinner shoot for this month!
They decided between them that it would be better for me to serve two of them dinner rather than having an empty chair or me spoiling the photo! Vivette said she would sit this one out this time and Yi and Yong said they hadn't got the right dresses to wear!
Rosheen, Ashaki and I then spent ages looking for a background photo as an exotic location and there were lots of oooohs and aaaahs but none really seemed to be right! The girls said beach shots needed bikinis really rather than evening wear and we had quite an argument about that! Anyway, Ashaki and Rosheen had two new dresses they wanted to wear, so Ashaki looked at her new dress and said "What about Egypt?" As soon as we looked for photos we knew that was going to be it! However, Ashaki said although she loved it, her new dress was too dark for candlelight so she'd wear a white loose dress and silver wig instead and she'd wear her new one later! (I won't give it away, she'll show you another time!)
The setting!
We chose this one as it left a lot of scope to blend in some candlelight!

Soooo, the girls sat down waiting for me to cook them dinner! I said it would be ages before it's ready so they opted to start drinking their wine! .........and they got bored waiting, so things got a bit silly!
"Oooops, I've spilt my wine!" Ashaki said as she poured her wine down her front!

Hey, you two, are you OK?
"Yep, we're just bored and very, very hungry!"
Sorry girls! I did say it would be a while!
"A while? It's been blooming ages!"
OK, let's do some more shots then while it's cooking!

Stay still for a minute and I'll do a couple of close-up shots!
the original pics looked good but when you added the pyramid back drop it was fantastic. carly says to give the girls a hug from us hope the meal was delicious.
Looks like my last post was out of place. It was supposed to be after your first set of pictures. I did not realise until just now oops.
That is what happens when you suddenly turn into a doll elder at 2000 posts. Your mind and memory starts going. Guess I will just have to do another 3000 posts and turn into a guru before I get my brain back.
That is a great shot. Gimp is a wonderful tool if you have the time and patience to learn it. A great result. Well done Sir Hollows...
Oh dear, apologies again here Hollows, I seem to have missed a fair bit again.
I'm really loving the stuff for the contests. Ken losing his trousers was 'kin hilarious. Sneaky little monkeys those girls.
Yeah, love the candlelight shots too, I really must have a go at some like that because I've seen a few by members here and they always look superb. That new wig of Ashaki's really stands out in those shots. Really nice, and the finished one with the pyramids at Giza is beautiful.
Glad to have caught up a bit.
All the best from us three on the wild plains.

Ashaki and Vivette send their love to Hanna and Katie and look forward to seeing them again at the Meet! Rosheen is hoping she can come along too at the next one!
Well they’ve already had their dessert so maybe some nibbles after?
