Things to Do in a Hotel Bedroom when Bored.
Well can you suggest anything better?
You would never believe how awkward it was to get V2, let me just say that it involved three pillows and the use of muscles I had forgotten I had, and leave the rest to your fertile imaginations ... And no, Bill didn’t get a picture of me, I waited till he was in the shower.
Thanks for looking,
Moira

The things that jump into your mind Moira, I do wonder at times. I think you must be as mad as I am, not easy. Works well would have loved to have seen the setup though.

MrsWoolybill (or Moira as you are known to your friends) that is an extremely good imitation of an Edward Hopper... I love it and as for the feet...

Fantastic Moira...well done.
You are going to get some great remarks about showing your pins, but I think it's been done "in the very best taste" as Kenny Everett used to say.
You are a very brave lady.......

Good morning folks, and Happy Sunday!
Thank you for being so kind. Interesting suggestion from jeff - I might play around with V1, but I really saw the pillow and foot as part of the composition. And thanks to David, Hopper was the name I was trying to remember, though I didn't set out to imitate the style. I just sat on the bed and saw the picture...

like it, mainly for the strong composition with those verticals and horizontals. perfect would have been if you had a candid ad rem photo of someone else (Bill or the room service boy lol) angainst that bg rather then a self portrait though.

Sorry Koen, these two had to go together - and you really wouldn't want to see Bill's legs. I didn't think of involving hotel staff, I don't think it was that sort of establishment.

This is going to start quite a trend. Roverrat already has one uploaded.

Nicely composed, both of them, with nice lines, apart from being fun shots.

I cant begin to imagine how difficult V2 was, - imagine room service walking in when youre doing this!

Blimey I was so shocked and thought you had uploaded the wrong photos I had to wait until now, and they are still there so it was ok, well you have some interesting thoughts when you are bored, I only hope there wasn't a CCTv camera in the room, we might see you on tele sometime.....
Hope to see Bill's legs tomorrow....

I particularly like V2 - it stands as a good shot in it's own right and not just as a piece of fun.
13 Jul 2008 6:06PM
Not sure how you achieved this Moira, but had great fun imagining, lol, well done on having some fun with it, I wonder how many are now thinking of trying something similar? its not the forgotten muscles in my case, its the ones I remember I can't use SmileAdrian

Can I make it clear please that
a) I needed the bed to myself for V2, and
b) It's one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever done photographically!
