OK folks we want to put up a new profile pic, but we're struggling with how to pose, and where! So we are throwing the doors open to you all, flood us with your suggestions, and the one that GG chooses is the one we'll take and post!
Imagination and fun could make this an interesting challenge for us ;D
How about having a snog with the sea behind you?
Definitely an outdoor shot. Somewhere with some spring flowers. Are there still bluebells around or have we missed them? Would make an awesome backdrop.
My ideas are
Abseiling naked down a tin mine chimney eating Cornish pasties
Sitting naked behind a Cornish cream tea (just so I can feast my eyes on yummy food)
Standing naked next to famous signpost at Lands End at midday in the summer (eating pasties?)
Are you getting a theme here?
How about candlelight, gives you a warm glow, although you do have to keep very still as not much light from candles!
whatever you do i'm sure it will be hot...
you have some great pics in your album too, personal I'd love to see one of you in black and white in an artistic pose together x
My ideas are
Abseiling naked down a tin mine chimney eating Cornish pasties Makes me feel faint!
Sitting naked behind a Cornish cream tea (just so I can feast my eyes on yummy food) No good just looking, I need to taste.
Standing naked next to famous signpost at Lands End at midday in the summer (eating pasties?) The one at John Groats would imply you had walked it, but there could be trouble ahead
Are you getting a theme here? Don't forget the Rick Stein Chips Peter, but I must get down to the Camel again, to the wonderful sea and sky Clear fresh air to expand my lungs while 'obby 'orse goes by.
Wait a min, 'obby 'orse, is n't that the 1st. May?
Ahhh next year?
Hmmmm all very good ideas! Think we may end up doing them all, but then.... which to use for the profile. Oh choices choices. Not going to be easy this but it's going to be great fun doing them 🙂
Why don't you put several photos on the gallery page and ask the members to vote for which they like best.
When I started reading this thread my first reaction was that this could be a very brave post. Then I got to the bit where GG gets to make the final decision. I think that was a very sensible move on your parts!!
But as a bit of fun with no full expectation to enact it, how about a poll of members to see what their votes would be for?!
I'd vote for somewhere outside, you've got some great locations in that part of the world, that promotes the naturist opportunities there. The use of something historic like the tin mines as suggested above might be good, with a backdrop of one of the beaches and/or the beautiful countryside.
In answer to norfolk and good - the bluebells are almost at their best here in Sussex, not sure in Cornwall though. But if there are any there, that blue hue they add to scenery would be good. So we'd better pray for good weather in Cornwall very soon for you two to get that set up. Whatever the judge's final verdict is, I'm sure the shot will be worth seeing, you've got some interesting photographs in your gallery.
Two people sitting amongst the bluebells, backs towards the camera but looking over their shoulders, naked but discrete, rather than the full frontal, legs apart that some seem to prefer..

Cracking idea! Seems a good solution 🙂

Thanks Nick, we agree. I think we will take members ideas and try to capture photos of them all, although the blue bells seem to be passing over so we may have to find another form of flora, perhaps in a field of oil seed rape or something? ::)
Re Bluebells, failed to notice that you are much further south than us, Bluebells in the Midlands are probably at their best at the moment, but feel sure you will find something else.
Well at least you have raised the interest of a number of NC members with this topic.
Good luck.

Thanks Ray.
We've made a temporary change to our profile pic to take account of the poor weather ha!
Seriously though, as soon as the weather gets better you can be sure we will be out there trying to capture your suggestions - Could do with a 2nd pair of hands though, using the self timer and no tripod isn't exactly easy at the best of times, but we will do our very best.
More suggestions always welcome 🙂
