Photo 365: Day 191 – Daily Shoot Assignment – Self-portrait

Today’s daily shoot assignment: Who are you? Make a self portrait today and show the rest of us what you look like.

I didn’t see this coming from Daily Shoot…with self-portrait theme. I was debating myself if I should do self-portrait or something else. But in the end decided to go with the assignment. I think it’s always good to know the face behind the camera 😉

With my star helpers (read that as family) still vacationing, it was a bit of challenge setting this up. Used a stuffed doll to set the pre-focus, then used timer for this self-portrait shot. Last weeks ‘differential in light” assignment definitely helped me today for this shot.

I used my classic N6006 camera for this pose.

    HaHa. I thought about you when I read the Daily Shoot post was a self-portrait. Wondered if you’d do it. You did a nice job. I never have help in my selfies. I just guess the distance and focus for that.

    including the camera in the sp does really show who you are – or at least one aspect of you. I think that would have cloned out the catch light in the near eye – not enough detail for it to be interesting.

    This is a very nice self-portrait. Very creative lighting to show only a small part of your face… by the way, what long eye lashes you have…

    Great lighting! Love the contrast. I thought of you when I saw this challenge too because of your previous self-portraits and the fact that you “thought” you were done with self portraits. I really like your self portraits. Nice job.
