View Full Version : Ambusher (who?) stumbles on to the scene

I kept hearing hints and rumours about this "other site" out there. Following the Da Vinci trail of clues, I have finally found my way here (actually, I figured out what to Google for after checking out the new e-zine).

I'm hoping at least a couple of you recognize me from TCB. I don't post that many pics because:
a) I don't have near the quantity that many of you do
b) I only have a 2MP camera, and I often didn't use the highest resolution settings. Therefore, my pics are usually smaller than what many others like.

I have enjoyed candid photography since high school (that's over ten years ago), and used a crappy 35mm camera back then. The results of these early experiments are best left forgotten (the Mars rovers have taken better candids than these).

When I found TCB I was surprised how many people shared my obsession. I thought I was the only freak.

I've lurked hear a couple days to get the feel for this place. I see many familiar names. I feel friendship for many of them.

What types of candids do I like? Well, not just her ass!. A series of a girl with different angles is best. And I must have a face shot! This is important, I must see her soul and personality, not just body parts!

Here are some samples of my work (all previously posted on TCB). In terms of size, this is as big as they get (my current collection anyways). I don't have a clear feeling for what is acceptable here yet. I sense there is a higher standard than TCB, so some guidelines would be appreciated.

Oh, one other thing about myself. Sometimes I write long rambling posts.

Hey Ambusher, glad you made it here. I've only been here for a month or so, but I've found it to be a nice community. If you read the forum rules you'll find that everyone here tries maintain a little decency when shooting, i.e. no shoving cams up skirts, under dressing room doors, etc. I personally have no problem viewing those types of shots, I just wouldn't take them.

I feel better about my hobby after finding out about the candid community. It is only natural that we men love to check out girls. I am so glad my wife is accepting of this.

Your pics look good, sharp and show the girls' personality. Cute girls too! 2mp is not bad. A lot of guys on that other board shoot with cellphone cams and that is much worse in terms of quality. Post whenever you can.

Hey hey! Welcome to the board. Good to see you here.

I think we're a little more relaxed here, but definitely more dedicated to our hobby. And you won't see porn ads and the like here, either. Makes it easier to view and not feel ashamed about it.

We also live by the phrase "It's not the camera, but the photographer". There's nothing wrong at all with your photos--they're very sharp, and you've obviously learned how to command your camera. Don't be afraid to post them--these examples are nice work :)

Hey Ambusher...

Aren't you a mod at that other place?? I haven't been there in a while but think I remember reading on your induction.

In any case..welcome to the board!! :) Make yourself at home.

Nice pics BTW.

Welcome.

We're a small board that had we be judged by our quality of posts, we're the largest on the net.

We're laid back and respectful, yet intense about what we do. We are the only candid board on the net and to top it off, we're totally free!.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I think I will like it here.

Gonja, they did make me a Mod at the other place. I guess I kept bashing the rule violators so often they just decided I might as well be able to do something about them. :)

I'm not at all into the upskirt/voyeur stuff. As I said, I don't like "body parts" pics.

Hey Olympus, what's happening! I always check out your posts, they're usually as funny as they are good quality.

I still have a backlog of posts to check out here. Don't be surprised if you start seeing a bunch of old ones getting bumped in the near future.

Ambusher, it seems as if you and I agree on a few things. I mostly enjoy frontal full-body images. Breasts and butts are fine in moderation, but you can't get great expressions from them (usually). I also don't believe photos need to be huge to be fully-enjoyed. It's nice if your camera is capable of showing the pores of someone's skin, but it's not necessary. Welcome!
