More Self portrait fun...

Adina---your turn

Rick and Speed--- you'll post anyway---no challenge there!:D

:idea: oooh I have an idea---let's start a daily self portrait thread---like the daily cartoon:rolleyes: :D

notes: used a mirror for some fill light. used PS to touch up old woman dark circles and sun freckles on my face and a few imperfections...brightened the eyes with dodging --my nose loks a little snausagy to me but...what can you do---probabaly shoot at 50 instead of 35mm lol

Hey beautiful

I didn't know we were aloud to touch up our self-portraits?? That opens up a whole new world to me.... :D

absolutely....I might even get bold and post the orginal....just for you I'll ruin the illusion....:D

here it is smarty pants!

Okay, my eyes are really bloodshot from being sick, so all my "real" ones turned out bad. Here's all you get for now :wink:

Nat, I honestly like the untouched one better. It shows more of your character :)

No lip service! Guys back me up on this!

Trust me Rick, us girls have to see charcter every day in the mirror. When I've got a photo, I want to see what I think I look like, not what I actually do look like.

Here ya go. Taken 5 minutes ago. I either need longer arms, or a shorter lens.

ps...

Nat you look great in both!

You may remember the first half of this from what I did in Maine.
When I shot this though, I intended it to be like this. It's just that the first half is so much stronger than the two!

LOL Nat!
I was naked when I did this...:wink:
Camera remained dry during this shoot.
So do you like it this way?
I have gotten an equal amount of comments liking it as a single, with the first one, and as a diptych.
I actually did others that showed the top, middle and bottom....

Prove it!:D
I liked the single image ---had a hard time telling what the second one was...
I think it's cute that you wear shoes when your nekkid:p :)

are there any other "safe" versions you can post...I think it's cool ---it appears as if the water is really rushing around you and still a dry camera...good job....:thumbsup:

Nat, you and Adina got it bagged :)

Bri, Adina and Brent, awesome shots. love em :)
I have got to get that holga soon. too many fun moments being missed.

I'll play along:
One of me and the boy, and the other one of just me, doing my "I'm not sleep-deprived, really" impression. :D Please excuse the old sweatshirt...:p

that is a yard of checkered fabric I bought at jo-ann fabrics for $3.00. It worked superbly. I also bought 3 yards of black fabric for the light and order shots. Best $12 in total I have spent.
