You know, I've tried to keep this thread alive, but I really could use a little help from all the people who've said they enjoy photography and like to share their own photos, but who aren't necessarily into sharing the selfies nudes that everyone else wants to see.

Nice lighting, worked quite well.

As for your question why not too many people post here, one of the reasons is anonymity. You sign your photos with your full name and post your portraits, but this is a sex site, so most of people here would like to keep it as anonymous as possible. This is why I have no problems with posting nude selfies without showing my face, but will never post in this thread. Almost all of my non-erotic photography is posted elsewhere, so it will be pretty easy to find these images if I posted them here even without the copyright. Why would I want to do that?

Are you saying my name on my images makes your images more likely to be found by people you know? Or maybe I'm completely unable to figure out what you're trying to say.

I mean, you just posted in this thread (without a photo), so now anyone who sees this thread can see you've posted in it and use the forum's tools to find every other post you've made to this site. I'm not sure how not sharing a non-nude photo of a landscape or automobile can preserve your anonymity at this point.

One more try then :)
1. Most of my photos that where at some point prepared for web have MY name written on them. So to ppst the same images here without it I would have to go back, find the originals, process them again, and only then I could post them here.
2. What happens to MY images in real life? I post them online -- facebopk, instagram, 500pix, couple stocks. If I post the same image here, even without my name written on it, anybody could search for it and see where else it was posted and under what name.
3. The same is true going the other way too: somebody likes my image somewhere else, starts to search for it to see what else I have, finds Lit. No, thank you.

In short: the ONLY way I can post anything on Lit (nude or not nude) is if it is a unique image not posted anywhere else. Ever. With nudes it is easy, they go on AmPics and sometimes on FetLife under the same name, but not on any of my regular photo places. Non nudes? Well, I don't know about you, but I am not about to start shooting exclusive PG13 content just for this thread.
 
Three photos from a forest near Gainesville, FL. There was a controlled burn in progress (or maybe just completed) that left the air full of haze and I wanted to see if I could get some light rays through the trees. That didn't work out, but I did come home with a few interesting shots.

In 2006, I shot a few images of what was then called the Confederate Air Force (now, the Collings Foundation) at a small airport in Dunnellon, FL. One of the planes was the B-17 "Nine-O-Nine." In October 2019, this same plane was lost in a crash during a show in Connecticut, killing seven people onboard and injuring seven others including six on the ground. I believe this may be the end of what are called "Freedom Flights" aboard these wonderful old aircraft.

Here are a few of my own photos:

Low, late afternoon sun reflecting off the bottom of the wing:

Ahne contacted me about a year ago to hire me for some sexy photos for her then-boyfriend, but we never managed to set up a date for the session (I think she chickened out). Well, just before the Covid lockdown, she sent me another email and this time she was interested in starting her own modeling portfolio. After several months of back and forth and wondering when would be too soon to work together during the pandemic, we finally scheduled a shoot.

We met in Leesburg and eventually ended up at an abandoned building on a canal off Lake Eustis in Tavares. There are a bunch of great backgrounds there and good lighting in the afternoon sun.

We're both very happy with the photos and we are already looking forward to the next shoot.

Cedar Key, Florida. The foreground is less than three feet from the lens, so a tiny aperture was necessary for a deep focus that included all the way to the horizon. This was just minutes after sunset and the sky was darkening quickly, so I used a 15-second exposure with the camera securely locked down on a tripod in the shallow water. The water gently moved between the exposed scallops(?), giving the bubbles a soft appearance. Seahorse Key is in the background.

Ocala, Florida. It was a little rainy today when I went out looking for photos, so I had my umbrella with me as I shot this image of leaves against a small pine tree. I held the umbrella close to the tree to block direct overhead light, allowing the leaves to be lit only from the sides and background. It's not my best work, but I thought the insect damage on the leaves was interesting.
