Art & Ravenna, honestly, one of the best residents of Vhtv, and Ravenna, the best guest of Vhtv, now, unfortunately, former residents, and former permanent guest, whenever they did anything related to sex, almost 100 percent with light, or acceptable light, (99, 9 percent), the level of relaxation that the two of them (Ar & Ravenna) had with the light, is hard to match, bad news for this apartment, I wish I was wrong, but I doubt that anyone will come along and be at the same level, I wish all the best, to Art & Ravenna, it was one of the best and most relaxed couples, that I have ever seen on Vhtv

:roll_eyes:

and i would like to counter this and say its been much better without them 2 in this apartment and hogging the bedrooms, this group seems more relaxed, i dont find the appeal of art and raveena myself, while yes the lights on should be better with this bunch its still more sexually appealing then watching art and raveena perform

If there’s something who properly makes the viewing experience worse, then it’s the semi light. That’s when almost nothing can be seen. Better to just turn off the light completely if someone is not comfortable with full light. IMO

Ricci on the move in the GR!

I repeat the same, Art & Ravenna, were the most uninhibited in the apartment, the light was not the problem, in all the cameras
(Ravenna was very hot, and relaxed)

Disagreed!! I prefer the actual Apartment as it is!

She already watched the forum so she can see creepy Ricci in action.

That’s why i said that she agrees with it

Can’t imagine they way she talked but i guess all part of the job.

Exactly. This reminds me a lot of Vegas and Winterrose relationship. And to a point, even Tonk and Ryry. Interesting to see the development

John, I was photographer for decades, 35 mm. I had multiple cameras, multiple lenses, multiple light meters, you name it, the whole nine yards. I shot film like I was drin king water, and each roll had 36 exposures (pictures).

I devoured every book about photography I could get my hands on. If I couldn’t afford to buy it, I would sit in a library or bookstore and read it.

Then came the Internet and the digital revolution. And, while I was still shooting 35 mm film, I was selling digital cameras.

What I’m saying is, I have a little bit more knowledge about photography than your average guy with a smartphone. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just that my history provides me with a much broader background and knowledge base to draw from.

Unfortunately, I’m no longer able to do any of that.

There is a genre of photography known as straight photography. It embodies sharp focus, rich detail, clarity, etc. These are the foundational elements that modern photography was built upon. And with each major improvement in photography came the ability to be a better straight photographer, i.e. better lenses, better cameras, better film, etc.

In straight photography, elements such as form, sharp focus, rich detail, high contrast, and rich tonalities are emphasized. This approach respects the medium’s technical visual language, distinguishing it from other visual arts like painting.

I am a straight photographer, or rather I was a straight photographer.

Obviously, none of us have any control over pre-production on this site, which would be things like the use of and manipulation of the camera and it’s settings, choice of lenses, taking the picture, etc. We have to settle with what these cameras spit out to us, which, I’m sure you’ll agree, is not great in most cases.

So, we’re left with post production to make corrections and improve upon what these cameras give us.

I’ve looked at all the pictures you posted, including the edited one. Now, show me the same courtesy, and examine the three photos I posted above. Then, tell me that the faces in those photos are not the same. And I’m not talking about exposure.

Well, I guess most of the confusion stems from the fact that her face is heavily distorted in John’s original screenshot to begin with. Her face is at the edge of a picture taken with a wide angle lens. So it’s bent out of shape and diagonally (accounting for how her face is angled in the original picture) elongated.

With your background in photography you’ll know more about how these distortions work than I do. Everybody else just look how towards the edges of VHTV pictures straight lines are not straight lines.

So, her face is quite distorted, only when we look at it in the context of the full wide angle photography, our brains know how to deal with it. But when you take an element for the edge of a wide angle picture and put it in the centre of a less distorted image, we can’t compensate the distortion anymore and something seems just very wrong with her face. The face is just too long and somewhat deformed. That’s why, to be honest, the thing that your composed images first reminded me of was that 1985 Cher movie ā€œMaskā€.

p.s. When I edit videos and zoom in zoom in on smaller areas of the VHTV footage, that distortion becomes a problem, too. Sometimes I have to rotate the image by a few degress to make it seem less wrong.

You’re absolutely right. Wide-angle lenses often exhibit optical distortions. The one you’re referring to is called barrel distortion, where straight lines, especially near the edges of the frame, appear to curve outward. This distortion is inherent to the lens design and is more noticeable around the edges of the frame. It’s a fixed characteristic of the lens.

This particular lens is not that wide, so the distortion is not that great. You can check the straight lines on the right edge of the picture, and even Ricci’s head is straight up and down.

My personal belief, which I’ve communicated to John, is that this is a different girl all together. She looks nothing like the other pictures John has posted since then.

PS You do love your movies.
