Photography Tips

[Hippyluva 8]

I love going out and photographing my girlfriend. I'm a fairly new photographer and was wondering if anyone has any tips they can share that they have discovered from their experiences.

I've discovered that a solid background behind the stream makes it show up better. I've noticed that if leaves, bushes, or broken sunlight is directly behind the stream, that it makes the stream nearly impossible to see, especially if it's a weak stream from being the third or fourth pee attempt in an afternoon. I generally try to get an angle in which her leg is directly behind the stream. Sometimes, I'm off by a little and have to quickly move a little left or right to line up the camera, stream, and leg as soon as she starts peeing.

Anyone have any other tips that maybe everyone hasn't discovered yet?

Photo tip for a nighttime scene: a lot of times at night my girlfriend and I find a place that she can pee without being noticed, but the sudden and bright flash from a camera would attract attention. To solve this problem, I set my camera for a long exposure time (5-10 seconds) and let the ambient light create the photo (a tripod will be required and the model will have to be still for the duration of the exposure).

You will still have to light the stream. This can be done by shining a small light on the stream for no more than about 1 second while your camera is taking the photo. It's easiest to do this by having the model hold the small flashlight and carefully turning it on and off without moving her body with the light pointing at her stream. Alternatively, the photographer can point a light at the stream from his vantage point. The flashlight being on for 1 second attracts far less attention from bystanders than a camera flash would. You can Google "Painting with light" to learn more about this technique.

Thank you, Mega. Your post is helpful. We hope that we learn a lot from others posting tips here too so that we can make our pics even better. There's not any educational photography websites that are specific to photographing peeing.

Basic photography tip that is extra important when taking pics of our fetish: The camera looks both ways.

This concept took me a long time to believe how large of a role it plays. Basically, it means that the model's attitude is a reflection of yours. There is a thread in the pictures section called "A Smile and a Pee". Compare those pics to some you've seen in which the model has a scowl on her face. The two extremes and everything in between is largely dictated by the photographer. If you are having fun and are relaxed, the model will be too. A nervous photographer causes a nervous and worried model and this shows in the photograph.

In normal society, it's weird to be photographed peeing. The model is already battling against this. A nervous photographer is just reinforcing in the model's mind that what they are doing is bizzare and maybe silly or wrong. This leads to the model just wanting to hurry and end the uncomfortable situation.

If for whatever reason you want your model nervous (maybe because of your specific fetish or a particular artistic expression) then you can use this information to create that. This tip is not intended to tell you the "right" way to do it. Either way can be "the right way". Just be aware that this phenomenon exists and that you are in complete control of it.

Using a "soft box" on your flashgun can really bring out the beauty of her face and skin. Studios use large versions of these, but I have noticed one of the ALS photographers uses a small softbox mounted on the camera with a bracket. The box looked to be about 20x40 cm (8x16 inches) and was mounted to one side of the camera, facing towards the model. It has the effect of giving a more even light, without sharp shadows.

Some amateur photographers make their own - you can probably find some examples if you take a look on google.

Another tip: when you're walking around with your girlfriend and you have a camera, everyone starts watching to see what she's going to do.

This unwanted attention disappears when she also has a camera around her neck. It's an amazing subtlety. It changes people's perception of what you're doing. You go from being obvious pornographers to a couple that's just taking pictures of birds and stuff.

Shutter speed tip: I've discovered from experience that a shutter speed that is too slow tends to make the stream disappear. A shutter speed that is too fast tends to make the stream appear as a few falling drops. Using a flash can also cause the same effect as a shutter speed that is too fast.

Photographers will know that many factors weigh in when determining shutter speed, but as a general rule I try to keep the shutter speed at somewhere between 1/50 second and 1/125 second. This seems to work best.

I will adjust my ISO and/or F-stop if necessary to keep my shutter speed in the above range (If you're new and confused by the terms, Google them. There's lots of photography websites and How To videos that explain the terms in depth)

If because of lighting conditions you must use a shutter speed out of the above range, try to take the picture when the stream is at its strongest. That will help a little.

Another point... (just to resurrect the thread too) - when photographing the act... 

When the moment comes and the pee starts to flow, chances are you'll have a limited few moments to catch the action. It's well worth focussing the camera before that moment, then either switching off auto-focus or locking the focus. As long as the distance between camera and subject doesn't change too much every picture will then be correctly focussed.

To echo the above points, photographing in manual mode (perhaps with auto-ISO) will also help with consistency.  If you do need to use flash then bouncing it off a ceiling or nearby wall will soften the light. If your camera only has the built in pop-up flash (like DSLRs typically do) then a sheet of white paper looped loosely infont of it can soften the light nicely.
