@riannnova.bsky.social and a couple friends. Which do you like better: her looking at the skull, or her looking at the snake? #Spooky #Redhead #Skull #Snake

@copperpenny6.bsky.social from September of 2025; a year ago. We had a nice walk through the woods, took a whole bunch of photos. This photo is SafeForWork and non-sexual in nature. The other croppings of this photo are NSFW, as seen in another post.

Not that I don't appreciate others' work! I do, very much! But my page is about my own work, and I appreciate others' work on their own pages. Maybe I should consider sharing more; what is your opinion of re-posting?

It was supposed to go 2025, 2024, 2023, hiatus, 2019. I put '24 twice; my typo. The B&W anonymous photo was from 2023. Not that it really matters, but it matters to me, so I'm adding this comment, since we cannot edit once posted.

Another disadvantage is that these are LED lights; each LED is in a row, and sometimes this can cause the effect of several small lights, each with their own shadows, rather than a single consistent light. It doesn't happen in every shot, but I have noticed the effect in some photos.

The main advantage is that they are inexpensive! Way cheaper than a big lighting setup. They are also very portable, small, easy to carry to a location or anywhere. Battery-powered. They also have a loop to hang from something, and magnets on the back, to stick to a metal stand, or something.

The very first images I shared here on BlueSky- the torso lit from the sides: same setup. Dark studio, one light wand in each hand. The model can move the lights up or down or front or back or twist the direction slightly = different shadows. Easier to adjust than fixed lights on a stand.

One disadvantage is that it takes up your model's hands, so you have to make sure their hands are out of shot, or can be cropped out- and the pose will need to be with her arms in a position to hold the lights. It could be done with a couple of assistants, if you have them, which I don't.

I put a "sexually explicit nudity" label on this, but it isn't, really: the nudity in these is mild- just a few nipples- and purely artistic. But the 'bots here seem to add the "sexual" label to even artistic nudes, so I figured I'd save them the trouble. Have you noticed that?

They went ahead and added a "non-sexual artistic nudity" label, as well! Boy, I can't figure these guys out. Whatever. Small annoyances, in the grand scheme of things. I'm just happy to share my work where like-minded folks and I can appreciate each other.

It's not obvious from the post itself, but if you click through to the full images, there are different versions. (Wasn't sure how they'd show up in thumbnail form) I'd love to know what people think about the different edits!

Well my Instagram was just blocked. Don't know if the appeal will go through, or if I'll be deleted. It would be a major bummer to lose all of that posted work, and all of those community connections. Bluesky here seems to be a nice place. Hopefully this will stick around.

Update: Nope, it's deleted. I'm not the first, or the last. But I'm not bothering to go back there; too much hassle.

"Photorealistic/digital imagery depicting near nudity such as nudity covered only by digital overlay or an opaque object and certain instances of nudity obscured by see-through clothing." All of the nudes I shared had obvious censors over them: apparently "digital overlays" are not allowed anymore?
