Thanks for keeping me humble OT and MJS. :lol:

Here's another shot. Yes it's still a self portrait, not many are willing to take my picture.

Very cool, what are we looking at here Mr. Yuck?

Step 1: take picture without me
Step 2: take same frame, with me
Step 3: Crop accordingly
Step 4: Layer 2 images, set self to 70% opacity
Step 5: Convert Image without me to sepia tone
Step 6: Copy paste 4 images side by side, flipping horizontally every other image
Step 7: Shrink to Square Format
Step 8: Convert image to polar coordinates twice, once mapping backwards, once normally.
Step 9: Layer 2 polar coordinate images
Step 10: enlarge the back image so my heads stick out on the sides (removes the white border bringing the image to square format.) and rotate to taste.

Gorgeous SP's OT. Always a pleasure to see you :)

I must get another one done. Hopefully, for the next one I will remember that I have my camera on 1600 and turn it down to 400 :mad2:

Everyones got some good stuff goin on here. OT, great shots and I dig that jacket.
Yeah, I wonder whats going on with the picture deletions? . . .

OT gets the prize this time!

Larry you rock! You ole' bear you... :wink5:

Well John you got the ole' bear part right. Thanks for the vote of confidence I am always very reluctant to turn the camera on myself.

alright, i'll play.

I've been playing with processing portraits and B/W conversion, and no better guinea pig than myself, since i'd be my harshest critic. here's a byproduct. Lighting is on-camera flash bounced off of folded typing papter, i set the ISO low and the shutter speed fast to keep the overhead lamp to fill light. I think I like 400mm for portraits, the compression is really nice. Oh yeah, photoshop does a good job at taking those last few years off too. :D

Okay, another fairly uncreative one from me...with Mr. Matthew as well. :)
Um, this was light from the window, with the cluttered living room as the backdrop...I thought that was fitting...:D :p

Nice one Emily. Can't think of a more appropriate self portrait. Creativity can be greatly over rated. It the subject that matters in photo like this.

My latest, taken on a hot and humid August afternoon....
