the steampunk

Did some more experimenting and thought this had potential.
What do you think?

Excellent. Haha.

Killer. Nothin' else to say.

Love everything about it - especially that ragin' hairdo!

Yep, plenty of potentail

I doubt you'll find any more potential than what is there.
I'm really loving what's going on.

Very strong photo, in every sense. Nothing to nitpick, plenty to enjoy!

Sweet, I live that guy.

Excellent Gary! The crop its a bit tighter of what I would like but I wont tell anyone.
Your light and the tonal range is very appealing...gives a very a particular mood...some day you´ll have to show me how you do it :D
Great PP work!....see you in hell along with Dray and the rest of the photoshopers around...I´ve heard there is a party on the way :D

Rules are meant to be broken. Give yourself a Sticky. :D

Thanks for your thoughts on this, guys. I'm glad it went over. I had so much difficulty trying to get things right with the lighting and then standing in the same spot all the time. One great tool for doing self portraits that has proved to be invaluable is the programmable remote control from Canon. I can program when to start the first shot, the number of shots, the interval between the shots and more.
thanks for the time

You are most welcomed....Admittance: One model per person (female)...well Jet will have to bring more than one since he apparently, have a broad selection :lol:

Hmm I just got a wireless remote which I am sure will help a lot, but I don't think it has that sort of programmability.

How much is that remote, Gary?

I need to get one myself.

Incredible really. These self portraits are so original. A series of self portraits Gary?

Man the guy in the picture almost looks like Christopher Walken awesome job man!

LOL :D Kobrien, the guy in the photo is the guy that took the photo!

BTW Gary,
I've been wondering, are your "goggles" really the lens covers off the binoculars, or is the resemblance coincidental?

See I thought that it could have been but I wasnt sure.

I want one of those for my Nikon. Actually was thinking yesterday that I wish they had one with which I could change aperture and shutter speed.

As for the party, does it matter if the model is ugly?

Hey, Christopher Walken is the real deal, man. He is by far my favorite villian, and oddly enough he is quite funny as well. I don't see the resemblance in the shot, but hey I can't say that its a bad thing.
thanks for the comment.

Jet, these are actually Custom made Steampunk goggles from a fine crafter in the UK. They are polished brass with burgandy stained leather eye cover. The leather is attached to the brass rims with screws and rivet. These really are cool and unfortunately the detail is not shown in this pic.

Tom, yes, it seems that I might as well put a series together. thanks for the words.

Dray and anyone else interested the remote release is about 140.00 and available here at Adorama, where I purchased mine.
Remote Release
Thanks again all.

Gary,

Sorry I'm late to this - What can I say that hasn't already been said.

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious :D

I'm pretty sure nikon has one as well. These little gadgets, although expensive are very convenient and can allow for alot of experimenting, not just self portraits but time lapse photography, getting in on shots with family and have multiple pics taken, etc.
worth a look into
