Challenge 3 - Oceanic Kiss

[Tiffoes]

Really curious as to how creative everyone is going to be once again! I'm excited to see the results already~

Shoot, I've got about 60 photos already...Tomorrow is my day off so after the BF and I go to the gun range, he said he'd take me to a park close by and stand guard while "you get your dolls to make out and take pictures". He thought I was a loon for this at first, but now he's starting to brainstorm ideas too! I was visiting family yesterday and didn't see this thread till I got home, but he called me from work and asked if the new challenge had been posted!  He's just as dorky as I am! teehee!

i may have to do the monitor trick, i already found a picture to use far enough away from the water to suit a finicky kitty as i haven't had a chance to scout locations on the lake

[Prismatic]

This one's going to be tough for me.  Not the pic itself, but finding the time >.<  I work today, tomorrow, and Wednesday (won't be home til after 8 Mon/Tue), then I'm going to the con Thurs/Fri, and a birthday party on Sat   So I'm going to need to find a little time each day and try to get it done lol

Bah... feeling sick today, probably can't make it out to buy supplies. Very frustrating as I'm anxious to get started.

SO FUN!!! I've been looking forward to the kissing challenge.
I think I'll be using the book or monitor trick ... and Lina is into girls anyway, so my lack of boys is no biggie. I just need to figure out which ghoul she's crushing on - she won't tell me!!

[aellos]

I'm still debating between a girl or a boy. Rhonda has a crush on Chimarie though. So we'll see how we do this. But as a model, you have to pose with anyone. No matter the orientation!

[NoDivision]

I just went out and bought just about everything I need for this challenge. I am COMPLETELY INSANE to try to do this in a week, but so so excited

P.S. Rhini was able to get a picture of Kalma and Aria meeting at the fair, so hopefully she'll be able to share soon It was great to meet both of them!

whichever one clashes least with the moment at hand? lol



and Tuney, Rochelle, Knifely, whatevs ... it's gargoyle on garboyle! PURE WIN! lol GO NIGEL! lmao ... though i never really saw him going that way ... *gets whalluped upside the head by Tuneful* ... I LOVES THE NIGEL! *fangirl squees as she's dragged away again .....*



and Aellos ... that's why you take LOTS of shots with LOTS of poses and LOTS of different ... um ... props ... lol

[aellos]

Ooh, can't wait to see the picture.

OH I forgot I had a whole thing of sea shells I can filch from. They're really pretty shells to. I can't use them all, so I miswell use them somehow!

P.S. Regarding Kiera and Nigel kissing, that shoot took me about ten minutes to set up spur of the moment! Just to give you an idea of the sort of editing that took place, the initial image is below. I cropped, adjusted color, straightened! You name it, I did it! So once you get the basics down, there is soooo much you can do to transform a crappy photo into something infinitely better!

I'm actually having more issues with the hairdos than the background! But I love how you did that and made it so believable!

[kamakazee82]
