More Self portrait fun...

[Old Timer]

Since this thread seems to have a life of it's own, I thought I would throw in one more. This is an image from last weekends trip to the zoo. A reflection shot from the alligator tank with a little PP.

Since I can't always have people to model for me, and sometimes I find myself in places where I really, really need a photo of someone riding...

Actually, this was one of the few times I've tried to get photos of myself riding. It's really tough. Each one of these photos has four or five failures to go along with it.

Really, really nice photos John! Four or five to one isn't bad at all!

was this taken last weekend? Great pics...I have to try taking photos of myself one of these days!!

All right, I'll play along. Although this isn't really a true self portrait. My wife shot it last week. She suggested I pose on this dangerously slippery slope of wet bedrock, and so I obliged her. Not sure if she was looking to get the insurance money or what, but anyway this is my victory stance over the elements as I came away unscathed.

Luc-
These were taken on my way to Interbike. I think I've told you about the ride outside Yosemite. It's really beautiful and a pretty unique mountain bike ride for California.

I haven't posted much lately but here's the most recent self-portrait, playing in the street.

It's neat to see some old faces and some new ones.

Well, I'd tried the ol' proverbial "Self-Portrait-in-the-Mirror", but it just didn't come out right...

[I_Fly]

Now that's funny!

400mm prime? If I were your wife, I would probably disown you for just buying that. But that's assuming its the 2.8.

Here is my self portrait- long overdue.

I wanted a shot like this for one of my classes. Lighting was a radioshack strobe light, and lots of attempts to get the photo the way I wanted it.

[Old Timer]

Very nice effect. Those unsuccessful attempts are some of the most fun you have in photography. I do love the process.

[Axle]

Great effect there!

In the end, it's all about the coat.

Here's my latest attempt, camera on a tripod that belted onto the back seat, on a timer+10 shots, next time I think I'll do it while driving in a better setting and without that "seat cover."

It's entitled "Stealthy Picker". Enjoy.

I'm hungry.

From recent SF Gathering
View from Twin Peaks, I figured I had to make it my own, what better way than by putting myself in the shot?


And with lots of contrast and brightness changes:


And another, up with the brightness down with the contrast.
