This is easily one of the all around best captions I have seen in a long time.

The story is wonderful, I love the interplay between the Mistress and slave.

But every now and then, the story, the images, or the recipient call for something more. <br /><br />Still I'm glad to see this style start to get something like the praise it deserves.smittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042390282227601322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-50185707689387277812012-05-23T09:35:44.828-04:002012-05-23T09:35:44.828-04:00Well, I don't think this should anywhere near ...Well, I don't think this should anywhere near approach a daily or normal caption for you.<br /><br />Like anything, it should be an organic expression between the source pictures, the storyline in your head, and the logistical organization requirements needed to get what you want creatively onto the digital canvas.<br /><br />The other reason would be that you don't want people to come to expect something like this all the time AND if you make one for them, they'll wonder if you are skimping them. <br /><br />I think that the last thing you need is even more pressure on yourself. One of the things that comforts me is that I am allowed clunkers, at least in my mind. If people don't understand it, then that is THEIR FAULT, not mine!

I pre-wrote it like I would any other cap so it had a more distinct voice and tone. It moved toward the ending from the very first word... in the previous attempts I didn't know where it was going to end until it got there.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-36307808993360685352012-05-22T23:22:46.472-04:002012-05-22T23:22:46.472-04:00I'll always appreciate someone comparing my ca...I'll always appreciate someone comparing my caps to advertising Dee. I personally find that to be high praise. The people who make advertising work day in and day out pumping out quality work. <br /><br />I worked for a short time with a couple advertising/commercial photographers just after school. Perfection isn't a goal in their work, its a requirement!Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-42334758945730867692012-05-22T23:20:11.801-04:002012-05-22T23:20:11.801-04:00I'm so glad that you enjoyed it Simone!

I was worried about you enjoying it, but then again I'm always worried when I cap the people I respect. <br /><br />I agree, picture selection is very important to this style. Not only do the pictures need the spacing for the text to fit, but there also needs to be many photos. If this story had ran over much more, I would have been out of photos!Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-59460110183888776082012-05-22T23:17:46.540-04:002012-05-22T23:17:46.540-04:00Thanks everyone!

Right now the average time to make a 'normal' cap for me is about an hour. Obviously sometimes less, and sometimes more. But between "Evie's Fantasy", "For you Baby", and "Earning a Name" I think I've averaged 3 hours. The first two took a long time because I was figuring out what to write along with how to present it, but I didn't have that problem with this one. <br /><br />I guess I need to find the internal balancing point. I'm happy that this style is going over well, but I'm not willing to commit THAT much time to the majority of my caps. If I can't get the time down faster I'll keep it as a 'now and again' style that I pull out when everything lines up right.Caitlyn Maskedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732033913089350905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638398317329574756.post-75695966049905905482012-05-22T21:26:43.530-04:002012-05-22T21:26:43.530-04:00I absolutely love this new style of text as layout...I absolutely love this new style of text as layout you are exploring and this is your best to date. It doesn't hurt that it's one of your better stories.

I absolutely adore this caption. If anything, this is one of your most focused stories in this style. It's obvious you had a place you were going with the end and you finally made it there in the end. <br /><br />Such a bit part of doing this type of caption is the choice in images and this set is beautiful. I don't think you could do this with your typical picture. Your text compliments the image and becomes an integral part of it. Likewise, the image becomes synonymous with the story you've created. <br /><br />I might be bias, but it's brilliant work!Mistress Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830472323307586514noreply@blogger.com
