Yes, 'Chaise Lounge' is an accepted anglecization of 'Chaise Longue" via folk etymology.

No it's not. It makes no sense. Nothing to do with folk etymology.

Please take your objections up with Merriam-Webster - I'm not qualified to overrule a definitive resource on the English language, so I'm out bruh.

non-sofa related question - did you add grain to the images? they look quite noisy even with a f1.2 lens

Yes indeed, I used an ILFORD Delta 400 emulation which included a grain structure matched to the film. You can see it well in the shadow transition zones of the Chaise Lounge.

Less back light and a bit more front light would have been good imO.

[stuny]

Personally, I find the play of light and shadows to be excellent.  Have we seen this model a few other times?

Webster is not definitive. You perhaps are thinking of the Oxford English Dictionary. And I ain't yo' bro'.

Merriam-Webster is the oldest North American dictionary. When you try to delegitimize a resource like that to support your argument, it's safe to say that you're grasping at straws.

While OED isn't freely available online, here's "Chaise Lounge" in the Oxford Learner's Dictionaries, the free-to-access branch of the Oxford English Dictionary, also published by Oxford University Press, brah:

(also lounge chair, informal chaise lounge)

 (North American English) a long chair with a back that can be straight for sitting on or be made flat for lying on

A vast proportion of the English language is composed of loanwords from French that have been modified from their original spelling. Loanwords are the most ancient of linguistic phenomena, can be seen in literally every language, and analogous phenomena are even seen in animal communication, brah.

Actually some of the earlier photos in the shoot had more front-lighting, but because of a clash of color temperature, I used only back lighting. I quite enjoyed the aesthetic so I didn't add a reflector. I could have added a color-balanced ring light, but the room was super-cramped, and already a bit of a nightmare getting enough movement to control the composition.

Here's the entry from the Oxford Dictionary of English, 3e 2010:

chaise lounge  

▶ noun North American a sofa with a backrest at only one end.

– origin early 19th century: alteration of chaise longue by association with lounge.

 

I am willing to accept gestures of submission in the form of poetry, expressive works of acrylic or oil, or paper mâche caricatures of me performing heroic feats of strength and intellect. To further curry favor with me, your gesture of submission may involve several individual works utilizing the above mediums, or a skillful combination of multiple mediums within a single piece.

The warmest of regards, my dear sweet treasured Brah,

- Sonnar Gauss

Thank you, Bro'!

I like the tonal control of the series and the composition of the first.

Remarkably, when I used Iford Delta in the film days, I liked the minimized grain of this emulsion, so someone in post processing liked this effect enough to add it to the software filters. I think there is still some Delta in the fridge, maybe a good occasion to put them to good use.
