(Not Safe For Work) The FINAL pictures from Frankfurt, Germany!

Bueh, thanks for your explanation of the fill-flash.  It's a gottatrythis.

C.E., I am really sorry I forgot about this NSFW thing. It never crossed my mind as a student/self-employed from librul Europe.

It never crossed my mind, either. That makes two of us librul Euro-peans.

No apologies needed, and nothing in the set approaches offensive in my book. However, the powers that be in most companies, along with the puritanical, would have a shit-fit over them, and I want our viewers to have a heads-up to avoid embarrassment and harrassment. It's sad, but that's our culture.

Carry on! Let's have more nekkid Europeans. I'm ready to move. I need a nice gal from Oslo, Wien, wherever.

Since viewing these pictures I find myself looking for fill flash examples, and I'm seeing quite a lot in both editorial and advertising, particularly at the NY Times.  For instance, the first two slide shows in the Spring Travel edition of the magazine were all fill flash.  So, it looks like a good skill to have these days if you are out to make money from your photos.
 . . I used to really enjoy both the editorial content and the ads in the Times.  I may not buy another hard copy, though, as the ads for the multi-million dollar condos, over-the-top vacation spots, and fashions have gotten just too outrageous.  I guess the web site doesn't seem so offensive because I tend to browse it more selectively.

Beuh,

Those are some great pics!  Thanks again for participating.  You all are putting me to shame with the quality of photos coming out of this camera.  It has certainly seen things that it would not have here in Eastern Oregon.  I need to try using fill flash more often, but have been a little intimidated by it in the past.

I apologize for not posting ealier, but he only access I have away from home is at the school and I can't even look at the images on my blog there, and they have everything there blocked.  You can't have kids loking at what they are not supposed to.  Someday they will find a way to block real offensive sights and leave the others alone.

Beuh, those are great shots.  I really love the way the fill-flash brightens up the shots and gives such good texture to skin and fabric.  I love the shot of the "nurses"!  Nothing in these shots shocks me, since here in Toronto we have a rather robust annual Gay Pride parade.  Plus, we're all too easily shocked over here;  we could use a little shaking up once in a while.
