Self Portraits

[Geoff Chandler]

How about some of you guys pop yerselves behind your own cameras then??
I am posting this as it's just about all I have like that - but we rarely take
ourselfs as the subject.
Maybe it'd be fun for a while to post a few of ourselves - yep, I will try and
make a better one than this sometime soon...
Geoff

[Kushnirenko]

Well Geoff...
This shot - reflection in mirror windows of a building on the opposite side of street.
Superzoom - equivalent to 380 mm lens on 35 mm camera! :cool:

[Clyde]

While I set it up, composed it, etc... A friend actually clicked the shutter for me. BTW, this is done using my new Tamron 28-75, which is the the bees knees so far.6645

[Alnath]

Taken with my old A80

[Geoff Chandler]

Great effort everyone - thanks for responding so quickly.
Anyone else out there dare to post their own portrait???

[sherlock]

Hey,

nice shots everyone...this one wasn't actually my idea, i was immitating a friend's self portrait. ended up looking pretty weird, at least to me...:rolleyes:

[Geoff Chandler]

Nice idea Geoff. Alnath - great macro! You've sure got some meditation eyes (as opposed to my medication eyes).
Vich - that's a cool shot - very artistic, th B&W and the close crop really
make the shot. Then the focus on the right eye also gives it weight,
the left eye being slightly less sharp makes for a bit of mystery ....
hey! I'm getting all arty now. How about: -
Great Shot!
Geoff

[astro]

Looks like I'm one of the younger ones here :o

Has found very old photo. Summer of 1981. I'm mechanic of the plane.
P.S.
Certainly it not a digital photo - then it simply did not exist...

Thanks Geoff. You can say it, "blur" isn't (always) a bad word, despite it's letter count.:D That was my nifty fifty at f1.8 held at arm's length. Looked directly into the lense but still took about 10 shots to pick the best focus. Best 20 minute project in quite a while. Tough day for a self portriat though, no-sleep thing. B&W fixed that some.

Astro; great shot! The highlights and bokeh really contribute. Yeah, guess we come in all ages. Looks like Sherlock's got you beat on the youth side though.

[Glenn Kennedy]

Astro - don't worry about being young.... you'll be like the rest of us before you notice.

Not sure if I have the courage to post a self portrait....

I still describe myself as almost "almost young" (see profile). the camera never lies, unfortunately.

[American Nomad]

I have been off-line for the past week. I'll settle into a new location next week, but in the meantime I took this in Washington DC a couple of days ago. I'm not sure what I was trying to get but I got me instead! A slightly distorted view of myself. I'll look for a better shot later.

[Esoterra]

I'm going to walk out on a limb here and post my self portrait. Please do not make fun of me. I wear a mask out in public because I am so self conscious of how I look. I had to enlarge the picture up so its a little grainy.

Im just joking!! near the end of this post is an accurate picture of me and my family

Well, you ask for it.. Have not even brushed my hair! Blurry... NO lol !

[Rhys]

Taken with the camera at a tripod. I promise I won't turn you into a toad - yet!

[Geoff Chandler]

Well, you ask for it.. Have not even brushed my hair! Blurry... NO lol !
Hey - if it wasn't for the modern camera - you could get away with
saying it was an old photo. I quite like the atmosphere the blur and
the almost sepia B&W - who says every photo has to be pin sharp!!

Honest fellas, I can do better. Ummm, I just didn't know:rolleyes:

This shot was taken with my Canon A95 on June 9th.
That's Mount St. Helens in the background.

[Geoff Chandler]

There's some really great shots here - wide and varied too.
Do you think I can take a decent shot of myself though??>
I think I will have to use the remote and the tripod because
all the hand held ones, even at arms lenth and zoomed in a
bit, turn out looking awfull ~ nothing like what i see when I
pass a mirror - but I'm not very photogenic!!
Here's one with friends & my wife, from last year...

[red hot sheep]

Great photos everybody! It's nice to see such a wide range of people/locations.

Geoff, nice to see another Brit here. By the way, what do you think of the A200? - looks a fine little camera.

[Clyde]

Well, I already posted one version of this... I have two uses for my DSLR. One is for reference material for painting, and the other is to document the paintings themselves. There is a difference in what I want out of the two different types of photos. In my reference, I hardly every use flash. I am not so much interested in "the way things really are" but more in "how they appear to be." That means that I want someone walking beside a green wall to have the green bounce into their skin tone, even though out of context it might make them look ill. Contrariwise, I want the pictures of my paintings to reflect as well as they can what the paintings would look like under good lighting.

Comments welcomed...

Not sure what it means, but its got some classic catchy components of, ahhhmm, something. Yellow cab, movie theater, street guy, lots of "lines" helping the eye out. Anyway; nice painting. You've got a nice skill there!

Funny comments about hand held and arms length. Yeah, when I looked at mine I wanted to take a shower, shave, find the nose hair trimmer, get 10 hours of sleep, then go visit my plastic surgeon neighbor.:D

Geoff:
Great bunch. Which of the lovely ladies is your wife. This is a great site. Wonderful to put a face on those who corresponde here. Sending a photo that I stuck on my bulletin board to remind me why I should DIET.....

[pestalnmore]

Oh.. forgot to mention. This was taken at 30 something when I was visiting Vegas. Now I'm 50 something?...:( :eek:

30 something, 50 something, who's counting!!
I am scraping in just under the 50 mark still @ 47 (46 in the piccy)
My wife? She's the one nearest to me on my right - not a good pic of her
unfortunately.
Earlier this afternoon my daughter took one of me - seeeing as I can't seem to
get it right - I expect she will post it here tommorow, she's only 11 - so she won't
be posting one of herself - though I would love for you all to see her close up!!
More soon
Geoff

Edit note: - vich - sorry I forgot to say - I cheated and got one of the girls to take the pic ...
under explicit instructions you understand!! It was the C-740 which does have timer facility
The A-200 does have a wirless remote which is handy sometimes

[Phill D]

Yes I agree it's nice to see some of the faces behind the posts. Here is one of me - shame I took it at the time of the only recorded earthquake in Derbyshire :D No only kidding I was just messing about with multiple reflections through double glazing to see what came out. Just a bit of fun.

[Phill D]

OK so here is a rare shot of the real me taken recently on holiday at the Grand Canyon. Holiday was a 50th birthday treat but I hope I don't have to wait another 50yrs to go back! - it was awesome!

Nice to "see" everyone! Here is a shot of me and my family. I'm on the right, the wife is on the left. Our children and my mom are in the center. I did clone one of mom's eyes as she looked like she was winking. Taken with timer and tripod on a recent trip back home to Louisiana. And since we are confessing ages, I'm 49.

Vich,
You have a beautiful family. Your wife looks as youg as your daughter! I really had to guess, until I read the note. Must be good Louisiana atmosphere and food. What part of La do you live in. Am a native of La, still have family in LakeCharles area and Baton Rouge. Have a nice day :) carla

I thank you, my wife thanks you and my family thanks you.

I no longer live in LA but did live in Hammond. Brothers and sister still live in the Hammond area. One brother lived south of New Orleans lost all after Katrina, is now in Hammond. We are now based out of Knoxville, TN but travel the country with wife's job. Her dad is in Baton Rouge.

So sorry to hear of your brother's loss from the storm. Hope things are getting better for him. My niece is in college in Hammond, had to evacuate twice. Can relate to the damages, all of my family about 150 on one side,live in Southwest Louisiana. They were all blessed, no injuries, and minimal damages. Just 30 miles from where Rita came in. Thanks for sharing, TN is a lovely state. carla Here's a pic of my husband and I in August ( rehersal night for my daughter's wedding.)

[MinieGinie]

Hi,
i haven't been on for a while, but this is a picture of my dad that i took because i am not old enough to put a picture of myself on yet.
Enjoy!

Miniginie:p

[eaglssong]

Rachel,

Great job with that photo of your dad. He's one of our favorite people around here, and it's nice to see that some of his talents have rubbed off on you.

I hope you'll post your photos often.

[eaglssong]

I just hope y'all know that one of the main reasons I became a photographer was so I could stay on the safe side of the lens.......... and this is why (no screaming and running for the hills please) :o

[Geoff Chandler]

Anne - thank you for the very kind comments for Rachel - I will make sure she reads it and posts some more of her piccies.
Also - don't be so hard on yourself - you look as friendly as you write. I hate seeing my own pictures - particularly the ones I tried of myself as the perspective was distorted (too close for portrait). Gotta get used to the fat that I don't look as young as I once did I guess!!
Bit busy over the next few days - on a course - but I will try to keep dippig in.

Everyone else - keep sending in those portraits...

Pretty cool thread.

I was just messing around the other night working on perfecting the "Multiplicity" Techniques a bit - I really need something wider LOL Click here for example - these are awesome BTW (http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/304069) . . . And walked away with a few keepers - using my 85 1.8. . . This is my scary mug! Be warned.

Anyway here's one of me from my garage studio a month ago. I was trying for a new shot for my website, and this is a reject...

Slight high key effect - Still a good photo. I'm guessing a reject for the idea you had in mind?

I am thinking if I can get a good idea of how to incorporate the multiplicity effect with my GF Dog and cat - our Xmas cards this year are going to be pretty unique! :eek:

You mean, "Besides the fact that there is [an itty bitty] plastic electronic device [w/Bgrip thats hardly noticable in the photo if not for the 85 1.8] growing out of my eye" ?? :D

I need to pick up the remote for more versatility.

Dude CDI you gotta try the multiplicity thing. . . its pretty fun - set up your camera and tripod in your yard and with your remote go running all over the place jumping around and do some whacky stuff, layer mask til the sun comes up and then post it up! :D For research purposes of course I need to see how the remote can perform under said circumstances and if it would be a tool I could count on to perform.

lol sounds like fun! but...I'll neeed some tutoring on that layer mask stuff once I get some goofball shots.

A self-timer shot. There's window light on one side and tungsten room light on the other. I like to keep the camera confused so it doesn't get uppity.

Taken at work - I'm a techie in a radio station. You can see bits of the equipment reflected in the studio window behind me.

Just turned 60. I don't know how that happened - I swear I was 25 just the other day...

LMAO - refreshing humor bill. looks like you managed to guide the confused piece of technology to expose a great self portrait.

I hope you don't mind. I noticed a wee bit of noice in the wall to your right and the window behind you, I ran it through neat images freebie at default and it cleaned it up pretty nice. BTW happy belated 60th!

Thanks. NeatImage even subdued my wrinkles. ;)

This thread was a great idea - it's nice to be able to put a face to at least some of the posts.

Back in BBS days, we used to have get-togethers. One time a new woman member showed up and was introduced around the pubful of BBS users. She said, "People sure don't look like their messages!"

True. You form an image in your mind based on the writing, and it's never even close.

This was taken a year or two ago. I too generally stay behind the lens. When I saw this, the reality hit. I no longer have to put streaks in my hair. It had turned silver before everyone's eyes except mine!

Bill,
Great subject in this photo. Must be a very wise man. Bible says "grey (hore) hair is a symbolic of wisdom. This guy's look is full of characture ( care-rat-ture) . Gee sure wish I could spell! Great photo. And by the way HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY to you!,:D :D

[Bill Markwick]

Must be a very wise man. Bible says "grey (hore) hair is a symbolic of wisdom.

Thanks for the birthday greetings. Wise? Grey hair? You mean if someone hangs around long enough, some wisdom is bound to seep in? ;)

I never felt particularly wise. Also never had any children, but if I had, here's the wisdom I'd pass on to them:

- 90% of everything is crap. Deal with that or the crap will start running your life for you.
- Throw your TV in the garbage and spend the time you save at the library.
- Rotate your tires.
- Remember the first rule of kitchen/lab work: hot glass looks exactly the same as cold glass.

There. That should do it. :D

Regards,
Bill

[Geoff Chandler]

Bill - Wise words there from you. !!!
I reckon you are right about the TV - it seems to rule everyones lives!
Rotating tyres is also good. (That's how the car moves along the road)
Interestingly, unlike hot metal, if you quickly brush your hand against
hot glass it doesn't usually burn - but you get the hot message and withdraw.
(Don't try this folks - I could get in terrible trouble!!!).
I think you look great for 60 - obviously less stress through ditching the TV
and rotating tyres etc.
Carla & Anne - just like you to know you are both lovely looking people
I wish we all lived a bit nearer as you all seem so friendly - we could have had
some kind of Photographic group or something...
OK - after all that blah from me - I guess I have to pop another pic in..
here's one from 2004 taken this time by my Son - kind of like a self portrait as
I told him exactly what I wanted.
Camera Olympus C-740 - which I still have lots of respect for.

[D70FAN]

Certainly a brave group. My camera would not allow a closer shot out of self preservation (Error 13, I think).

It's so nice to actually get to see our internet friends, isn't it?

The reality of desert living, sunglasses and a good hat can save hours of treatment, surgery, and eye problems later.;)

If I am correct, is it Su-15? The nozzles look like R-13F2-300 turbojet engines

[American Nomad]

Hello everyone! Some great self portraits! I am enjoying putting faces and names together. I just moved from Connecticut to Asheville, North Carolina and have been without internet service for a couple of weeks. This is a pic taken earlier this year when in New Bern, NC, but it is what I would like to be doing now! I have actually titled it, "It's what I do Best!"

Nice serlf portrait Clyde - cool concept.

Hey Nice; I got engaged in the Christmas season too! On the way to the relatives said "lets stop by this 80' boulder and climb it to soak up some rays." (yeah, a real So Cal thing to say on XMAS Eve).

Anyway, congrads, you guys do look like a graet couple!

[lindann]

Great looking couple! Does she know yet.:)
I have not used the timer feature on my new KM-Z6 yet. I have a tripod, but could use some tips on how long to set, etc to get a great shot of my daughter and myself for use as gifts.

[Phill D]

Yes congratulations, if she doesn't know yet just hope she doesn't frequent these forums until you get round to popping the question!

[J H]

Hello all-

Thanks for the replies. No she doesn't know yet. I get the ring on Monday, and then I have to give it to our family jeweler that I bought the loose diamond from and he will set it for me. That picture was taken with my Tripod and wired trigger (sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology), set it on a 10 second delay and took the photo!

Hi guys. I will step up to the plate and share a little bit of me with you. This is a picture taken around Christmas 2 years ago, so it is a little out dated. We have another daughter to be born to us within the next week or so. This picture was taken at red rock canyon (http://www.desertusa.com/redrock/) with my Nikon N65. I'm not too excited that my face blends in with the rocks in the background all too well lol.

I was fairly sure I didn't actually have a picture of myself. But this is me.

Once upon a time, many, many years ago I visited the USSR (early 80s). I was advised that if anyone photographed me - I had to make sure it was my "best side" and not my "backside".

Me - perhaps not my best side - but typical of the sweaty mess that my wife sees when we take walking holidays.

Thanks for the birthday greetings. Wise? Grey hair? You mean if someone hangs around long enough, some wisdom is bound to seep in? ;)

I never felt particularly wise. Also never had any children, but if I had, here's the wisdom I'd pass on to them:

- 90% of everything is crap. Deal with that or the crap will start running your life for you.
- Throw your TV in the garbage and spend the time you save at the library.
- Rotate your tires.
- Remember the first rule of kitchen/lab work: hot glass looks exactly the same as cold glass.

There. That should do it. :D

Regards,
Bill

Drama, thanks a million!!:).......wonder why N73 won't take good pics!! Mine is a Samsung 1.3 mp and I've done beaches and surf and things and they've been ok for at least posting. I have no idea how the prints would come out. When you said unusable, you were talking posting or prints?

Darksyde, that was pretteh niffy. =D

I got a new dress and combat boots. These are actual SELF PORTRAITS, mind you, Lilchilichoco...haha.

Hey Cory. They turned out amazing. Because you are amazingly handsome looking. =)

Avi, thanks for the compliment bout us. =D And you looked dazed in your shot like...You weren't expecting to take a picture of yourself...Yes, these are my awesome observation skills. =X

Yomny, yours turned out really nice! I like the sepia effect!

And Lilchilichoco, I meant to comment your pics, but I guess I kinda didn't. So I will now:

You rock a phone, so when are you gonna rock a camera?! Your pictures do turn out nice, I especially like the last one. Can't wait to see what you can do when you get a camera =D

Seeing everyone taking self portriats inspires me to try it out. I really don't like being in front of the lens but here it is:

That's a nice pic. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't like being in front of the lens. :)

You're welcome.
Looking dazed is part of my acting skills LOL. Imagine not knowing that I was taking my pic. WOW. Was probably wondering why the camera was taking so long to click.

Here's some old-school b/w.

I 100% agree with that

I hate being in front of the camera as well - one was in january (curly - I had just come back from taking shots in a blustery Paris), the other in Feb (straight, at home in Austin)

Neither one is a great shot, but they're better than the other's I've taken of myself!
