I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with these little video cameras. You know, the ones that keep popping up when you're trying to surf the web.

I was thinking about installing one in the headliner of my car, disguised as a dome light or overhead console (depending on the size.

I could run the wires to a laptop computer or video deck and record any activities that might occur in the car.

If anyone has tried this or anything similar, please let me know.

I was able to use a handheld video camera once while getting a bj. The trick was to keep some music on when you shut off the car. Also, if your LCD screen flips out and all the way around, set it up that way so you can see what you're pointing at. I could have done a much better job if I had done that before.

I don't think Jackson allow video, but I'll see if I can save a pic from it to post.

Download this proggie (free) by copying and pasting the link into the browser address bar:

http://www.arcatapet.net/downloads/imgv32.zip

Install it, start IMGV32.EXE
Click File -> Batch
Open the folder where the pics are
Click in the area of the File Window where the pics' names are
Hold down the shift-key and press the down arrow to mark (shown by the blue highlighting) the group you want to resize
Click Select -> Resize
Enter the value to downsize by (say 0.7)
Tick the Proportional Resize field
Click OK
Now go to the folder you installed IMGV32 in (probably c:\imgv32) and there they are. If pics are still too big try again with another value (say 0.5)



I have more pictures but they are to big to post. Anybody know how to reduse size of JPEG or how to ZIP them? Peter

Do any geeks here know how to split a PDF file into two halves?

For example, turning a 100 page PDF (Acrobat) file into two smaller 50 page files.

the way I break up a large pdf file is using Cute PDF writer. You can turn anything into a pdf document. You need the "Free Download" and the "Free Converter" located on the left side of the page.

After you install it, all you have to do is this:

go to "File", "Print", then choose "CutePDF Writer" as your printer. Under "Page Range", choose what pages you want to print. Then after a few seconds, a "Save As" box opens up. Name your new file, save it in a location of your choice and you are all done. I will enclose the link to it. If it does not work, use google and type in "CutePDF Writer".

I am just getting into the photography aspect of mongering.

Does anyone have any experience setting up a website with the pics they take? How about selling the pics you take to a website that specializes in amateur porn?

Hi,
I am looking for a webcam , to capture some hot scenes.
I want one with zoom and it must be discrete....
Can anyone advice me about that?

I notice that some close-up photos posted on this site are poorly focussed. Even fairly basic digital cameras can be set to Macro mode, which should be used for pictures of subjects usually about 10 cm. (3.9") and 80 cm. (31.5") from the camera (Please read the instructions for your particular camera). The following example of a woman after DATY has been taken in Macro mode.

A quick introduction. I have been mongering for many years in Asia. A few years ago I bought a video camera and started to regularly video tape my sessions. Having now taped 150+ sessions, the one thing I have learned is that IT IS NOT EASY TO CAPTURE QUALITY VIDEO OF YOURSELF HAVING SEX! Through lots of trial-and-error, experimentation and plain good fortune, I have gradually achieved better results from shooting my sessions. I thought I would share my experience for the benefit of other mongers who are interested to capture thier sessions on personal video.

DISCLAIMER: Before I start, just to avoid misunderstanding, undue criticism and waste-of-time flames, this Guide is NOT for:

(1) Professional pornographic video production. Amateurs only!
(2) Debating the social implications, merits/demerits or fairness-to-the-girl of pornography. I'm no priest or social worker!
(3) Videophiles with big budgets to procure high-end video equipment. Mid-range gear will do nicely.
(4) Mongers who have a partner to help shoot the video. I assume that you shoot on your own.
(5) Video editing and production tips. I only talk about the aspects of capturing video.
(6) Anything to do with concealed/hidden video. I assume your shoot is consentual with your provider.
(6) Anything to do with still cameras or computer-connected cameras. I assume you are using something like a DV-type video camera.

For those of you who are interested in the above points, I suggest you stop reading if this is not your cup of tea. For those of you who are interested in amateur video-making of a sexual encounter, kindly read on!

============================================
Asian Rain's Guide to Video Mongering (Updated May 2005)
============================================

I have divided the tips into the following sections:

(1) Getting the right equipment.
(2) Prepping for the shoot and briefing your service provider.
(3) Getting the most out of a shoot.
(4) Advantages/disadvantages of being a video monger.

SECTION ONE: GETTING THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT
====================================

There are two basic pieces of gear to do the job right: your video camera and a video light. I use 3 year old Sony DCR-PC9E DV tape video camera with 1 megapixel resolution - not the very top end of the Sony range even when I bought it, but a quality product. If you haven't got a camera yet, my suggestions for getting the right equipment are:

First, the CAMERA:

(1) Select a camera reasonably light in weight and small in size. Ideally, the camera should fit comfortably into your filming hand only. You will want to keep the other hand free for other activity such as feeling tits, fingering a pussy, etc., so a bulky camera will either become a nuisance or be too heavy. For the older bulky cameras, you can consider to use a tripod and place the camera on a nightstand, but you will lose a lot of shooting freedom when you film from a single angle. By having the camera in your hand, you will gain a "first person" action sense in your video, rather than the static "third person" sense from a tripod-mounted camera.

(2) Likewise, pick a camera with a strap grip. When you are humping away or using lots of lube, a firm grip is important to maintaining stability during "rough" shooting conditions. The biggest challenge of first-person shooting is to keep the camera fairly steady and the target in the shooting window.

(3) The key camera controls - film on/off and zoom - should be usable with just the fingers of your shooting hand. I am able to on/off with my right thumb and operate the zoom with my right index finger.

(4) The camera should have as large an LCD viewer as possible. Unlike a normal sex session, you will unfortunately have to view the session through the camera viewer to ensure that you are getting the correct shot. This is the biggest demerit to doing a first-person shoot. A large viewer will not only help to get the best shots, but also allow you to enjoy the session better.

(5) Make sure that the LCD has a "flip mode." You should be able to turn the LCD screen 180 degrees and view the shooting from the front side of the camera - also known as "mirror image." For instance, shooting during missionary or doggy style, it is appropriate to shoot from behind the camera. However, if you are shooting yourself getting a blowjob, you will have to hold the camera away from your body and therefore need to be able to flip the LCD screen to ensure that you are getting the correct shots. (As an added bonus, the girl can also see what is being filmed. I have had lots of girls get facinated by this and they look directly into the camera - makes them feel like a porn star!) A flip screen will also enable you to easily frame for static shots - you can lie the girl on the bed, place the camera on a nightstand, use the flipped viewfinder to easily frame the shot and then set the camera to film. Most cameras today have this feature as standard.

[REFERENCE: VideoGuide01-VideoCameraVideoLight.jpg]

(6) Check the battery life of the camera - the longer the better. The Sony brand is very strong in this point as it offers batteries of differing sizes/longevity and premium batteries with SQ - super quick - charge capability and remaining power LED indicators. The camera itself should also have an indicator on remaining minutes. Just think, it is bloody inconvenient to get the low battery indicator just as you are getting ready to capture a priceless CIM shot! Talk about pressure!

(7) A real nice-to-have is the ability to take decent still photos. Most of the newer cameras come equipped with above one mega-pixel resolution and even a built-in flash. Very convenient for getting some still shots without having to switch to another camera.

(8) Newer technology cameras will record onto either DVD media or microdrive media - both in MPEG format. I still think it is too early to invest in these cameras (buggy software, video quality issues, camera design, lack of accessories, etc.). However, if you can find the right equipment, recording direct to MPEG can save a lot of time when you transfer and render your material on your PC. This is a budget and technology availability choice which you will have to make.

(9) Another thing I like about my Sony is its touch screen LCD operation. Camera control is a breeze.

(10) Low light/nightshot capability is a plus if you intend to shoot in the dark, but I find that the flourescent green coloration of a nightshot video really defeats the purpose of making the tape in the first place. The end product feels like you just shot your session in the movie "Alien." I talk about lighting next.

Second, the VIDEO LIGHT:

Most mongers who video tape thier sessions fail to understand the importance of good lighting. At first I didn't understand why video cameras which shoot so well under "normal" lighting produce such poor results during sex. I have discovered that the critical difference is lighting conditions - people most often have sex in dimly lit conditions. While this makes for a better atmosphere, your camera's CCDs (light sensors) will not have enough light, which will cause the light sensors to sense darker colors, thereby producing muddy colors and grainy footage. Furthermore, when you encode your video from DV video to MPEG, the video product will be more pixellated. For serious video mongers, a video light is MUST-HAVE gear.

(1) Some of the latest cameras have a "hot shoe" which enables you to run a typically compact-sized 3-watt light using power off the main camera battery. Although this provides the most compact equipment solution, the quality from a 3-watt light will not be sufficent for a quality indoor shoot. The salesman may point this feature out as convenient and compact, but I think it is useless. You might as well strap a small flashlight to your camera. The same principles apply to low-cost cameras with an internal light - you will get a flashlight effect for closeup shots.

(2) An externally-mounted video light is the KEY to getting a good shoot - a good video light will produce a strong (10+ watt) diffused light, which I have found more than adequate in close shooting conditions. I use a Sony dual light 20-watt (10 watt+10 watt) video light. [REFERENCE: VideoGuide01-VideoCameraVideoLight.jpg] This mounts at the top of the camera and is powered by a separate battery. Between the camera battery and the light battery, I usually have enough power to do 40-45 minutes of shooting without stopping to recharge. Also, with the dual light, I can work in quite low light conditions or illuminate shots from a longer distance. (More about this in the next section.)

(3) Although a quality video light and battery add-on set will cost a bit, it will improve average indoor video to quite high-quality levels. Otherwise, even with the highest-end 3-CCD cameras, your video will be grainy and be subject to "dark spots" or "shadow spots," like when you shoot in between the girl's legs from a missionary position or from certain down-to-up angles.

[REFERENCE: VideoGuide02-NightandDayComparison.jpg]

(4) For video light users, the light will get very hot, so take care to allow the video light to cool before storing it. I spoiled a very good light when the circutry burned-out.

SECTION TWO: Prepping for the Shoot and Briefing Your Service Provider
======================================================

You can make the shoot much easier by doing some simple preparation. I usually prepare the room while the girl is taking a shower.

(1) Turn on all the lights you can. The more lights you have from different angles - bedside, desk, ceiling, floor, etc. - the more you will reduce shadows. Even if the girl is shy, I absolutely insist upon having all the light I can to get the best shots. Ironically, the best lighting is usually at the worst hotels, which don't use lampshades on lights. If you like to perform in the dark and use a video light as a single source of light, be prepared for very strong shadows - like the light and dark-side of the moon.

(2) Lay out all your accessories on the night stand. Video camera. Lubricant. Condom (pre-opened). Sex toys. Anything you might need/use during a session. If you can use your free hand and don't have to fumble for accessories, you can avoid many interruptions to your video shoot.

(3) Lay out a towel on the bed. Not only keeps it clean, but provides a white contrast.

(4) Have a few pillows available. The girl will be able to grab onto something during doggy style, which makes her more comfortable to stick her ass out. She will also be able to prop-up her head for CIM/COF.

I also ensure that my service provider is fully informed and briefed:

(1) Before I take a service provider home, I CLEARLY tell her that I will be taping the session. As a serious video monger, agreeing your conditions beforehand will save you lots of hassle. Even if my provider does not speak English, it is easy to get the message across using sign language. If she is not into that, I move on and find a new provider. It does not make good sense to bring a girl back only to find that she freaks out when she sees the video camera. Both you and the girl will end up disappointed. Nor does it make sense to take hidden video - still position video from a distant and hidden position will not create a memorable product. The best quality comes when your provider is fully informed about your intentions and cooperative.

(2) The other key advantage to agreeing video beforehand is that you will avoid last minute or after-the-fact price creep. In cases where I did not specify video in the initial pick-up, I have had girls try to jack up the price when they saw the video camera or grumble for a bigger payout after the session just "because you take video." Negotiate for one price beforehand, including video.

(3) Don't expect that a girl, even if she is somewhat experienced, knows how to perform like a porn star. I found significant performance increase when I sometimes gave the girl a demonstration of my expectations. I downloaded several video clips from the Internet (via Kazaa, Morpheus, etc.) which featured girls giving blow jobs, fucking in various positions, taking facial/CIM, taking anal, etc. I will point at the "training video" and then point between the girl and I. If she nods her head, then I know she understands what I want to do. From my experience, a quick lesson on how to act like a porn star can really work!

(4) Some providers may be worried about exposing thier identity. There is no sense in forcing a provider to show her face when she does not want to - a compromise can help the situation. I have found the following approaches can help: (a) just don't film the face, this is an obvious solution but requires some trust and shooting discipine; (b) use a small towel to cover the face - gets the job done but is sometimes difficult to manage and takes all the intimacy out of the session; and (c) use a sleeping mask - I have seen this used very effectively in Japanese videos.

[REFERENCE: VideoGuide03-IdentityProtectionMethods.jpg]

SECTION THREE: Getting the Most Out of a Shoot
==============================================

You won't be a porn star over night, but even an amateur monger can improve the quality of their material.

(1) When I first started filming sessions, I tended to get "static" shots - lying down getting a blow job, basic missionary position, placing the camera on a table for missionary, etc. If your video camera has a flip screen, you will be able to easily get shots as you will be able to hold the camera away from your body while still framing the shot. This can enable great blow job shots and easy framing of static shots.

(2) Don't hesitate to try different positions. Different angles and different activities make for more interesting material. Position your girl just the way you want her. For example, when I do doggy style, the best video is when the girl sticks her ass out into the air. A gentle push to the lower back will get her into the right position.

[REFERENCE: VideoGuide04-ShotsShotsShots.jpg and VideoGuide05-ShotsShotsShots.jpg]

(3) Don't do too many short clips. Each clip should be >30 seconds and the camera should not move too much. This will result in a better-flowing movie production.

(4) When you become more experienced with positions and shooting angles, you may want to have a "shooting plan" in mind when you shoot the session. For example, if I shoot a girl with full lips, I will plan for more blow job shots and hopefully a cum-on-face/cum-in-mouth shot. If I shoot a girl with a sexy ass, I will plan for a doggy position shot and hopefully an anal shot. You get the idea - as different girls have different features - you should get shots that utilize her features best.

(5) HAVE FUN! Enjoy the session and encourage the girl to have fun. Give her a tickle and make her relax. It is very pleasant when the girl smiles into the camera and is having fun. There is nothing worse than watching a video where the girl looks bored or unhappy.

SECTION FOUR: Advantages/Disadvantages of Being a Video Monger (IMHO)
=========================================================

Advantages:

(1) No better way to capture the memory of a good sex session!

(2) Great for lonely nights when you don't have access to a service provider. Bring tissues.

(3) Be your own porn star!

Disadvantages:

(1) It is often a hassle to go through all the preparation and work to do video.

(2) Loss of intimacy. The camera is always between you and the girl.

(3) Loss of range of motion. It IS tricky to screw and film with stability at the same time!

(4) Some providers will refuse to do video, which may restrict your selection.

I hope this helps all you wannabe video mongers to have a better experience and to create a better product from your sessions. If you have the equipment, I highly recommend giving it a try if you can find a cooperative partner/provider. If you have positive/constructive comments, feel free to PM me as I welcome feedback. Happy f**king and filming!

Enjoy the sex. This is especially true if the price in some countries is more than a camcorder. Personally, I prefer to use a tripod so I can concentrate on the action and forget about the camera. Its also hard for the girl to have a natural response if she is very much aware of the camera all the time. Holding a camcorder with a big video light shining on her face while she is performing doesn't help. I would rather capture some momento as the secondary aim, than create some momento as the primary aim. Use two or more camcorder to capture all the actions if desired, they don't worth a lot. For $300 US, you can have one with video quality comparable to the top ones at normal circumstances, see
http://www.camcorderinfo.com/ratings.php

Lighting: The best is doing it in day time, open the window and let in the natural night. Any simple camcorder under natural light will look better than a top end one under any artificial light. Next best is do it in the bathroom, often as bright as daylight in most hotels.

Remove the lamp shades. It makes a lot of difference, a lot of lux. Replace the light bulbs with the maximum lux available. Normal lamps in hotels seldom take higher than 75W conventional bulbs. But energy efficient replacements can produce 120W equivalent lux with only 30W, without risking an electrical fire. Replacing all the bulbs is a lot cheaper and a lot better than a camcorder light. A bit bulky but they are cheap enough to be disposable. You have to check with the local standard though.

Lighting 101: Maximum the light reflecting from the object into the camera. Avoid light source going direct into the camera. It's alright if you don't see the lamp or it's glow in the viewfinder. Finally, there are public domain software with decent GUI to improve on the imperfect artifical lightings.

Sometimes, using a crappy camera in a dim room could be fun.

Actually I don't get high from the usual pussy shots and tit shots here. But whenever I saw this video with me in action, I get a erection and lead me to call her more often than I wanted to. Attached is two screen shots. The link to the 30 sec clip is here:

http://rapidshare.de/files/1907970/beer.mpg.html

Scroll to the bottom, choose free (or not if you want to pay) to get the page with the link. Scroll to the bottom again. If the file link appears, you can click and download it in about a minute, for 30Mb with a fast connection. If the link doesn't appear, you will be told how much sec you have to wait. Or if the system is busy, you have to come back later. I have a lot to share if enough people are interested.

Sorry, not enough interest for me to go through the hard work. Someday. 1st I have to edit out myself, and for some discreet girls, their full frontal faces. Hosting is another problem. I don't like mpg1 sized tiny videos, no point. For DVD sized video, the hosting that I used for that 30 clip is about the most flexible, but the maximum size is 30 MB, which is the size of the clip. I can post unlimited files, but there's too much trouble to break up into 30 sec clips. I can use Mpg4 and break into a multipart file, but it will discourage further people who want to watch it.

My video has no sound. I like to make music video. Another reason the sound from the cam is not good and too far away. Someday I'll get a separate digital voice recorder and put it on the night stand or beside the pillow, to capture all the pillow talks.

Liondale
07-11-05, 21:36
I understand your decision James...can't understand how little interest there was. The movie you put up was great! :)
Personally I still prefer the real sound, no matter how crappy the quality is, it adds to the atmosphere. But if you make music vids out of them of course you won't need it...

I use Pinnacle v9 - pirated copy available in BKK Panthip Plaza for 100bhat.

The process of "masking" works by making an overlay. It is a tedious process, so you should try to minimise shots of yourself in the original product.

PS - wrong thread, but I think links to www.sexuploader.com is the way to go rather than slow down ISG. Jackson - good opportunity for cross-marketing.Pinnacle and Abobe Premiere are mentioned, for another choice, I will add Sony Vegas 6 (Not Sony Vegas Studio or the other lower end products). All the aforementioned product will do what you are looking for. All can be had for approximately 120 baht at Panthip or Fortune.

But just some advice as you get into digital movies, after you have shot them, loaded them, edited them, etc, you have to render them, i.e., compress them and change format to eventually burn them to DVDs. Here is where the difference between the cheaper products (Pinnacle (easier to use), and the more expensive products Premiere and Vegas -- each now retail at $500 plus, and throw in Canopius Procorder and their editor--- manifests itself, the rendering codecs. The better the rendering codec the better the DVD end product (if indeed you want to burn DVD's). Since the "Thai" price is the same, don't cheat your end product. It will take you more time to familiarize yourself with either Vegas or Premiere--they are not intuitively obvious-- and you should read/use their user manuals (available free either with product, from website, or find online (Kazaa, etc)

The best free video editor for masking and many things is:
http://www.debugmode.com/wax/

Many features are better than those found in not-free editors, those bundled with your camcorders, even better than some expensive ones.

The function you are looking for is 'keyframing'. You can easily mask the face if the person isn't moving much, or even walking fast in a straight line.

Overall wax is as easy to use compared to entry level editors like ulead, but a lot more powerful. Wax also absorbs all the public domain filters of virtualdub, and many more.

Most of these public domain editor doesn't write, sometimes read, mpg files, because of the license fee. But you can download a free codec such as xvid, which produce higher quality video with smaller file size using mpeg4 technology. Anybody watching pirated free porn movie on the net knows how to view the files, and videolan VLC media player plays them all, including H264.

I post the following to see the difference in raw and modified pics.

The modified ones are retouched in lighting conditions (by setting new levels), added saturation and slightly enhanced contrast by CS2 and skin texture was corrected by PaintShopPro9.

Very nice Ufbebaba !

I am also a photo buff and use Photoshop regularly to adjust saturation and contrast, or add details.

Like what you've done with skin texture... does photoshop have such a function or do you really have to work with PaintShopPro9?

Ufbebaba

Thx Doc,

Well, I think you may have "similar" results in PS-CS2 by using "actions/image effects/soft focus", but you are definitely in more control of the texture correction degrees in PaintShopPro9.

In PSP-9, you can try entering some parameters manually and see which suits your taste best. After correcting and "softening" the picture as a whole, you may retouche and sharpen some areas like eyes and hair or whatever you want to be seen clearly again, of course except the skin texture.

Honestly, I find PS-CS2 more user friendly in adjusting contrasts, levels and saturations, but also believe that this correction function of PaintShopPro9 is nearly unbeatable.

So, when I try to correct and modify some pics, I use them both. Though I have not posted any facial images here, please keep in mind that skin texture correction works at its best when applied on a portrait image.

I must admit that I am not a pro in this post-processing and some PS expert member of ISG might point a similar function of it. You know that PS is so complicated that it is nearly impossible to be aware of all it's functions.

One thing more, try using "aged photo" effect in actions menu of PS-CS2 and you will also have a nice dreamy image, though not the same as the ones I have exampled here. But, possibilities are endless as well as the tastes in photography. You never know before you try :)

Best,

U.

Dr. Skank as someone who uses Photoshop professionally there is no better programme. One does not need CS though - any of the other programmes 7, 8, would suffice.

It is the programme of choice for graphic artists and pro photographers, lay out artists, etc, etc. Of course there are others but there is no programme on the market that gives you as much bang for your buck when it comes to minipulating photos.

Photoshop does have the element that you are looking for but I do not use it as I never have any reason to soften or mask a picture. True, Photoshop is definitely a very complicated, not so user friendly programme but it has endless combinations. I use a mixture of Fotostation Pro and Photoshop 8.

If you ever used more then 10 precent of the programmes possibilities, that would be a lot.

( I am no in any way associated with Adobe, the company that develops the Photoshop software)

Buzz,

Do you have any idea how we can make this skin texture correction in PS ? I use PainshopPro9 only and only for that reason and would be happy to learn how I can do it the same way in PS.

Also, besides Doc's question, I have received PMs asking me if it can also be done in PS and unfortunately have no real idea about it. My alternative in PS-> "Soft Focusing" is not the exact equivalent of it.

Best,

U.

I would have to 'look' as I don't use this ever - but you might want to try the help option. If I do find it I will post all the details.

There is though, an unsharp mask under Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp mask that would get you started. I usually use the sharpen effect but you can definitely use it to soften details and make different areas softer, or blur them totally, good for faces I guess and also skin texture to a degree.

To select all the areas that you would like to manipulate/soften use the wand and keep the shift button depressed. Then you would use the feather option, select>select feather to soften the edges of the area selected - on a fairly large area use a radius of about 30, for smaller areas use a feather radius of between 10-20.

I hope this helps some.

Cheers

Hi,

Does anyone here use hidden cameras? Right now, all I have is a little webcam, but it was enough for me to put next to the bed in a pile of clothes and get a good video of me banging an outcall. The problems are

1) My face is visible - I'm trying to shoot these in a way where my face is not visible.

2) I always end sessions with messy facials whch I'd like to capture,

Mounting the camera above the bed solves some of this, but then it's more visible. Unless I try to hide it in a smoke detector, which is complicated, gets too far away, and would be the only smoke detector with a USB cable to a computer. Ideally, I'd like a camera on the headboard, pointed right down at her face (but that she wouldn't notice).

A lamp next to the bed with the camera right next to it (in front, to avoid backlighting) seems good, but has anyone tried it? Do the girls notice it?

Also, any lighting / camera advice on this?

Thanks,

You can try pinhole camera. The smallest pin size (the lens) camera. It comes wireless and you can just plug in any kind of recorder VCDR/VCR or even to your computer by adding a video card.

I use sharpen/sharpen more to add detail or effect to lower res pics or those slightly out of focus. Sometimes even a poor picture can be rescued. However unsharpen never has satisfactory results for me... it doesn't really "smoothen" an area realistically. It looks er.... photoshopped. :)

As for pinhole cameras, there are various lens adapters for video cameras that work fairly well, however it dims the room or rather darkens the image. You need to insure that there is enough light in the room otherwise the image is too dark. Natural light is of course best. If the image is too dark anyway, you can sometimes rescue it with software. For example even Windows Moviemaker has a lightening tool.

You also lose some res with most pinhole cameras unless the lighting is particularly good.

I agree but as said and you can see I well prefer a normal photo camera... good pixel (8 MP is enough, but with good lenses), so you can cut up detials for yourself and for the ISG format of 640 x 480 pixel...

Yes of course you get better res with a digicam, especially a SLR with large lens.

Friend of mine gets great results with a HD video camera too... got to get me one of those...

...people in the porn industry say that HD technology is a bit of a problem, as it creates TOO MUCH detail. We don't want to see every pimple on a girl's butt or ever bit of stubble and razor rash on her shaved bush. :)

Doc HD TV is just double format of standard PAL TV (not NTSC) if I'm not wrong. But they are still very expencive and they give lot less details of a normal 5 MP camera with normal lenses (not a small and cheap one) I think to Nikons 5400 or 5700 (more recently 8400 and 8700 with 8 MP).

You know I'm always in love with some girl... And it's a nice look to see a fill screen pussy on my 22" monitor! With a well erected clito!

Hi,

I'm no expert but would like to add my $0.02 on how to take great photos...

1) Face them toward the light. A slight angle change will make all the difference. Also if you're indoors, draw the curtains, (hopefully in white), so that it softens the light a little bit. Direct sunlight can be a little harsh.

1A) Get up close...don't stand too far away. Make sure she fills the frame. Nobody cares about the background or what she's wearing.

1B) Squeeze the trigger a little bit so the camera can focus. Focusing is key. Don't be too hasty to fire off a shot. Make sure the focus is on her eyes, not her neck, hands or any other part of her body - then take the shot. Any else can be soft focus except for her face. Take your time, you'll never have the same moment again.

1C) If at all possible, rest the camera on a hard flat surface...then gently depress the trigger.

1D) Make sure that the background is suitable for her. So white girl with cream wall behind her - bad. Black girl with cream wall behind her...good. Black girl with black towel - bad. Black girl with hot pink towel, cream background - awesome. You get the idea.

2) Add some interest to the photo. Bring a jersey of your favorite sports team, make em wear it. Or a piece of white cardboard with your buddy's name on it... =) Hi jerry, from peru!!!

3) If there's enough natural light, then turn off your flash. If it's a little dark, you can always fix it later. If it's washed out, then no software can help you.

4) Ask them to pose naturally...or do some funny stuff, like doing the no-papi- you-go-girl kinda pose. Some girls look better sitting down or lying back. Or while she's playing with herself. Experiment...girls love to show off.

5) Try taking photos from both sides of her face...yes, one side is almost always better.

6) Try using some other functions of your camera like the sport-frame mode - where the camera just bursts repeatedly over a few seconds as long you depress the trigger - you'd be suprised at how good some of the photos turn out

7) Set your video resolution low so you maximize the file size...then leave the camera on, in a strategic position, when the action begins...memories to last forever!

8) deleted

9) Ask her to sing her favorite song...you'll see a different side of her! Or also while she's sleeping. Or while she's showering.

10) Don't be shy to take as many photos as you want...digital is nearly free. Knock yourself out. You'll never live the same moment again. Sometimes the photos leading up to the posed photos are funnier and more natural than the posed ones...

11) Always keep an eye out for the light. Modern digitals still suck at low light situations, and remember to keep the light in front of her, not behind her. Night photography situations often suck. Don't be afraid to reposition her for a better lighting situation.

12) You don't have to take photos from a straight on perspective. Take 5 steps to your right or left and try the same shot, with her twisting a little bit. Accentuates her waist and also gives a little perspective on her cleavage...

13) Ask her to act sexy - e.g. finger in her mouth, tongue tip on her lip, etc - use your imagination...

For more advanced techniques...

I use Pinnacle Studio Plus and have tried it on a couple video clips. The technique is called KEYFRAMING, which basically allows you to target an effect on a particular point on screen and interpolate movement between two points.

For example, if in frames 1-100 of a video the head (which you want to block out) moves from left to right, you don't want to edit 100 frames with a blur effect on every frame. Rather its easier to pick 6 points (say frames 0. 20, 40, 60, 80, 100), target the "blur spot," and then let the computer fill-in the movement between the frames.

This kind of work is easiest on talking heads, like "witness protection" where the head is testifying sitting quite still on the witness stand. Even then, it still takes a bit of effort. Even professionals hate the tedium of keyframing, so most of the time you see witnesses shot in darkened silhouette. It's even worse for sex videos... when you try to do this on unpredictable movements (like the head bobbing during sex), you end up having to set an inordinate amount of keyframes.

The poor man's solution is rather more simple - just add a title overlay (like a black square box) without any text and blot out the identity of the target. It may not be pretty and you usually end up blocking out the good stuff because you have to make the box bigger to ensure that none of the identity sneaks out with jerky movement.

I played around with this a lot when I was planning to post some video clips where my face was in some particularly good parts of the video. If you work hard enough at it, you can make some superb porn-quality material and still keep your identity safe, but it takes a lot of patience to achieve professional results.

Maybe I will do a tutorial on this when I get some time... Hehe. Enjoy, AsianRain+

Hi.

I've recently made a small film of a BJ.

I'd like to know where could I post it in order to propose to ISG's interested members to see it?

This place should:

1) Accept porn movies

2) Keep them for a while (6 months mini?)

3) Authorize a viewing system (like youtube) or direct download?

Thanks for your help

Many people forget about how important light is when it comes to taking good pictures.

Particularly the built in flashlights are terrible. They create a lot of hard borders between bright and shadow areas. Also they always put frontal light on the motives.

For doing well and softly illuminated pictures I'm using a decoupled secondary flashlight which I can position anywhere in the room. Also, I put a diffusor on the flashlight to make the light softer. This is particularly kind if you take images of women A very cheap option for a very effective diffusor is one of these paper and rattan globe lamps for few bucks. They even have the advantage that you can fold them for easy transport.

Example picture 1: Direct, build-in flash leading to bad illumination and hard shadows.

Example picture 2: Well illuminated body. On ground you even can see my decoupled flashlight hidden in paper globe diffusor.
