Default POST YOUR BEST WIFE/GIRLFRIEND G+N PHOTOS discussion.

First off, let me say I enjoy this thread, but...

I don't understand why the pics that I posted were called 'porn' when there are plenty of pics here that show way more than I did (bare breasts). Not every picture posted here is a glamour shot style photo, which is why I posted in the first place (because mine weren't), yet I see no one elses being called 'porn'.

So my question is, what is the proper 'etiquette' for posting in this thread? How 'should' a pic be to be accepted here?

I barely remember your pictures since they were deleted, but I wouldn't call them "porn" at all from what I remember, however there is a difference between a nude tastefully posed model in a pre-determined setting with appropriate lighting and just a shot that looks like a random shot taken in bed, I think that might be it? If not, I don't know.

But there are several shots posted here that look 'random' or without appropriate lighting.

The rules are here: http://photography-on-the.net/forum/...d.php?t=842973

The most commonly violated image rule is: •No genitalia closeups or spreads, porn or sexual intercourse photos
When it come so calling an image porn it is not the place for a member to make such a statement in the thread, they should use the "report post" button and let the Mods deal with it.

It has been my experience that often the complaint about an image says more about the mind of the complainant than the photographer.

I saw your pictures before you took them down and there was nothing "porn" about any of them. I think the word the one person who complained wanted was "snapshot", not "porn". Your pics weren't posed with elaborate lighting, but in a thread like this, I don't think that matters one whit.

In my opinion, you shouldn't have taken your pics down.

In answer to Ace and Deuce's comment, there is no way that bare breasts can be construed as 'porn' - otherwise this thread wouldn't exist! However, I do think that some of the photos here have an element of voyeurism to them. After all, the title of this thread contains the word 'best' and some of them can't be classified under that category surely?

But it also says "Glamour AND Nude", not glamorous nudes. There's a difference. Look how many pics posted here aren't nudes, and look how many nudes aren't glamorous. And for posting your "Best" pics...if you only have, say, three pics, one has to be the best.

I have about a thousand pics I could post in this thread. The bare breast ones that I posted, I just tried to darken/shade a bit so they didn't just look like a pic of some big ol' titties...maybe I should've just 'let 'em fly!', lol.

Default Re: POST YOUR BEST WIFE/GIRLFRIEND G+N PHOTOS discussion.

the only problem I have with this thread is the limitation to wife/girlfriend. I really could not care less if any girl on any picture is your prize catch or some random girl or a high paid model. If the photo is great I'll appreciate it, if it's some crummy snapshot I don't. Who it is on there has no meaning, completely unimportant, unless you're married to some celebrity of some sort.

Also makes me wonder how many of the wife/girlfriends out there actually know you posted the photos and are ok with it? Better have a model release for GF or you could be in hot water quickly, even with the wife. Not a good idea unless they are for it and will for ever be. What's posted once online can and will be copied and shared and spread all over the net.

That's what models are for IMO, not my own family. I don't even post pictures of my kids online anywhere.

Of course, that's not to say that I won't look at whom you claim to be your wf/gf, just make sure it actually is a good to great picture

If you don't like the rules of the thread then don't post there.

If you want to post paid models or random people then start your own thread in G&N if your photos are appropriate.

This thread has been going happily for years without anyone posting such negative comments. As mentioned above, if you don't like it, go elsewhere.
