The only thing offensive to me reagarding those photos is the fact that I couldn't be there to witness the shoot in person!!!!

Regarding the photoshop comments, can someone tell me where to find the function in photoshop to create the B&W/Color effect? I have Ver. 7.0.

TIA,

Jason

It's under image-adjustments and you can either do desaturation or Hue/Saturation and just slide the Saturation bar all the way to zero.

Enjoy.

Scott,
I like that affect. Very nice. Thanks for posting the flower. I've got photohop elements but haven't gotten through the classroom in a book yet.

So, I'm just a beginner in the photo editing world

Nice pics. I agree with Mark Dalton though, wasn't there supposed to be a pic of a Vette somewhere in there?

G has no problem with his girlfriend Cameo shooting a few pics.

Have no idea why the "Mod Police" there would.

I personally think, they were tastefully done.

It's not the "Mod Police." Please refer to my previous post. It's the site OWNERS and ADMINISTRATORS, not the moderators.
I was pretty vocal on the "babes section" thread, but kept running afoul of a few people that had either been around longer than me or held moderator/adminstrator positions, that opposed it; however, the biggest opposition came from the owner, Troy.
Not all of the mods opposed it. One of the "complaints" or concerns of the admin was the difficulty in moderating the site so it didn't get out of hand. If people would have used some common sense in the 1st place and not posted nudes or commercially available models, and kept it to things like wives, girlfriens or personal models such as G's, the Babes Section would still be up and running

The mods are just enforcing the rules the board sets.

I'm not defending the MODS, just stating some fact some may not be aware of.

I like the openess of this board myself. Hope it gets more active.

I just went back and looked at the pic G posted on the CF. Other than stretching it by claiming the "pose" was "sexuallly suggestive"

there's absolutely NOTHING in either of those 2 shots that violates the TOS/Guidelines for the Corvette Forum.

The last I looked (they were taken down for a while for revamping

), the guidelines forbid:

-nipples, genital areas/full/partial nudes, belly buttons (can you believe that one-ala the 20', 30's) and various forms of cleavage

and sexually suggestive position.

None of the above are visable and to assume the position she's in is "sexually suggestive", screams of a narrow minded, puritanistic attitude

Having met and talked with Frank (Mr. Mojo over there), that just doesn't sound like him. Nor does the "shut your mouth" comment. To me, thats simply out of line for a moderator. Whoever it was, obviously had a maturity issue or, let the matter get to far out of hand and lost control. Either way, it's a sad commentary.

Frank is very well centered and from what I can tell, very controlled and easy going. If it was him, I'm surprised. Maybe he was just having a bad day?

Either way, whoever the mod was, he/she might be glad the lady wasn't in the "normal riding position" for that type of bike....the mod would have really lost a nut over that one

I got a thread locked down over at CorvetteForum because I simply described the thrill of "going up through the gears" which one of their moderators interpreted as me describing "street racing". I didn't know one could race myself but according to him that's what I was doing.

I apologized for posting that cause I had no friggin' clue how sensative of a site it could be. Yet, I see others, and there's a multiple page thread on there right now, that is MUCH more closer to a street racing thread than what I said.

I see many occasions over there where "what is good for the goose is not necessarily good for the gander". Bias plays a big role over there.

I only hang in the C2 section which apparently isn't nearly as controversial as the C5 section can be.

I think this site is just great. We seem to moderate ourselves pretty well and I can't think of anything off the top of my head that could even be considered as controversial, except Rich's pets.....

Not that I condone nudity or anything like that....

Haven't really given it much thought nor consideration. I'm not really a prude, but have stumbled upon pictures that I really wish I hadn't seen.

I think a nebulous rule of just "good taste" should be the guiding light. Which, of course, is a HUGE gray area. But let's just leave it at a basic rule of thumb that if I have a photo posted here, and a half dozen or more members object to it (or I do so personally), then it will be removed. No more penalties then that, unless someone gets obsessive over their posting.

Heck, I like a good dose of "retinal massage" as well as any guy, but there should be limits on a publicly accessible message board such as this. As far as drawing the line between tasteful "art" and pornography, I guess the best description I have ever heard was "you really can't describe it in detail, but you will know it when you see it".

Does that sound fair enough?
