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...

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!

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.

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

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...

[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!

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. 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.
