New Self Portrait thread

A midwinter moment in the car.

I'm no good at self portraits at all.
I've not shot a portrait of anyone else for that matter !
Just me, on the escape flight from the Hungarian mosquitoes

shot with a point and shot on a mini tripod using a timer.

From my Strange Period. Thankfully short-lived (though some would argue it never ended...).

What do you mean "thankfully short-lived"? I find this picture to be bold and eye catching. I guess that it is somewhat creepy due to the lack of legs but this is creepy in a good way as far as I am concerned.

I'd like to see more shots from your strange period, really.

thanks for sharing

Great self pic Brian!!

:( OK...here it is...my granddaughter wanted this one taken...so held the camera at arms length...hehe...so there...now I've done it...I hope I don't break your screens...sheesh...I hate my picture...hehe :eek:

If their screens survived my post, I'm sure they can handle your's too. ;)

Thanks for letting us put a face with the name!

Day 5, Apostle Islands kayaking trip a few weeks ago. Hey, you asked! :)

I posted this one a bit ago, but here it is again...
Brian

Try this one.
A hotel room, an uplighter, a bored wombat ...
Note the strategically placed camera strap and table :)

ummm what is the wombat doing????
picture is very cool.

Bri thats a very cool, moody shot.

Tuna, one of my absolute favorites... wheres the rest of the strange period pics?
Bring it on!

I thought the reflection of the curtains particularly was attractive.
Then I realised that I couldn't escape being in the shot, I hid behind the table :)
The bed is empty because my wife is having a shower while I "get ready" to go back to the Zolder 24 hours.
Which means more motorsport photos soon :)

That's me in the middle behind the camera!

because I have a new one. I'm trying to get one where I don't look like such a freak... :(

Hi Adina,
I've always enjoyed your self-pics and the images of your girls...beauty runs in the family, obviously. Since I've been away for so long, here's one of me that isn't too, too old. Been a long time since I've posted anything here, hope it loads, and too bad it's my ugly mug. :-)

Adina wow! I've always been impressed with your shots- this one takes the cake :)

Hi Charles - what's new? I remember that shot!

I always look better overexposed and tightly cropped than in real life---I like my eyes and mouth and that's the jist of it :D
my contribution from a few days ago(a week maybe) working on new ones just need more inspiration/time ---You're beautiful as always Miss Adina ;)

Adina, So that IS your eye in your avatar. Am I right? Good pic. Quite the opposite of freakish.

I just found this thread. It's neat seeing what everyone looks like after reading so many of your posts. It's like reading the book and then seeing the movie...except it's not a movie...and I don't really read books...

Anyway. I'll dig this thread up again after I do a self-portrait. I've been wanting an excuse to destroy some perfectly good film.

Hey, good to be here. I'm hanging in there, not much photographaphy happening in my life right now, but I still enjoy popping on here once in awhile.

Hey Charles!

Good to hear from you! How is the musuem going? It's one of the places on our list to take the girls too.
