Wolf, the anticipation of not knowing what your wife has in store for you must be killing you! She's a smart woman! (and MEAN, too!

) She has a fish dangling on the end of her line. Will she catch and release? Will she keep it and eat it? Will she have it mounted? Hopefully for you, she'll do some eating and, of course mount it in the end! (Ooh, "in the end" may have been a bad choice of words. After all, she did ask about the handcuffs and you never know... Lol! Just how kinky is she??)

Seriously, have fun with it and good luck to you!
As far as my wife's bet to Peelthemdown goes, we are still hopeful that we will have our photo session this weekend. Unfortunately, my long weekend has been cut back by mandatory overtime at work and there is also supposed to be a big snowstorm/blizzard coming through here on Sunday (although I haven't seen an updated forecast in a day or two) so who knows. If not this weekend, then definitely next weekend. Keep the faith. She will pay off her bet and with Wolf's permission, we will post those results on this thread.
Oh yeah, I should clarify that when Mrs Nectcouple said that she wouldn't be happy about paying up her bet, the only reason for her unhappiness was because her beloved Manning and her Broncos lost the big one, not because of the pending photo session! Rest assured, she'll be smiling in her photos!
Peelthemdown, reading your suggestions about light and shadows, as well as settings, tells me that you are very familiar with photography (if not a professional). I wish I still had my studio and equipment, but I do not. I lost it all in a bitter divorce over 20 years ago and quit photography as a result. BUT, I will get my creative juices flowing again (just as Mrs. Nectcouple will get her juices flowing) and we'll will see what we can come up with asap. As for outdoor shots, I would LOVE to do that now but since the temps are hovering in the teens out there (7 degrees F right now!!) and 12" of snow and ice on the ground already, that is not an option. When the weather breaks this coming spring and summer, however, you can bet we will have some very interesting hikes into some of my favorite woodland areas and I will shoot some beautiful scenery!
Sorry to keep you all dangling on the end of our line, but we really have no choice.
