I did not like this weeks assignment - self portrait - so I thought I would share my agony with all of you. The lighting in my house is awful - I tried an overhead light but I got dark shadows..this was the only one that I liked that was in focus..which BTW focus is very hard to achieve in a self portrait!! I might have used the self healing tool in the final version of this (after all don't we all want to look 20 years younger !!)
Wow - dressed up so pretty, too. Nice photo! How do you do that with bunny kitty-cat pumpkin kids running around??
ReplyDeleteBeautiful self portrait - and you don't need that healing tool, you already look 20 yrs younger!
ReplyDeleteHey Candy - just wanted to let you know I checked out your photo blog. You do some really nice work!!
ReplyDeleteYou did an incredible job on this and you look absolutely fabulous. I can see that you have lost more weight. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteAgony, Smagony= That is a terrific Portrait of a confident looking women with so much talent that the World Has to Be her Oyster. Great Shot.
ReplyDeleteVery well done! Wonderful job on your self portrait
ReplyDeleteCandy, it's a beautiful and confident self-portrait!
ReplyDeleteVery nice self-portrait, and I like the choice of dress and jewelry you chose, too. Looks elegant! One tip - I've learned that placing people too close to a wall produces shadows, so I move them out until the shadows disappear.
ReplyDeleteYou look great, Candy! I'd call it a good job on a self-portrait!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a fab job on this and moreover, you look FAB!
ReplyDeleteLooks good to me. I especially like your eyes. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNice self portrait, Candy. You're a very pretty lady.
ReplyDeleteI don't like self-portraits either. There are a number of ways you can do it creatively without feeling so exposed (no pun intended). You can be behind the rainy window, or silhouetted or partially obscured by a gauzy curtain. There is a great Flickr pool called "creative self-portraits". Many of those are just regular, but some of them are quite clever!
ReplyDeleteAnd, since you like taking photos you might want to check out Small Town Snapshot Sunday.
I think it's a great shot! Nice job and gives me a bit of confidence to try it myself one day.
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out beautifully!
ReplyDeleteLookin' good! I think it turned out fantastic but I must learn about this self-healing tool of which you speak! lol
ReplyDeleteI think this looks great too,.
ReplyDeleteYou look beautiful and it's a wonderful self-portrait. You should be very proud of yourself on several levels!
ReplyDeleteI just found this blog tonight (well, early this morning, I guess). I love your photos! Didn't have time to read all the postings. Hope to come back soon for that.
ReplyDeletehome lighting is always a bit hard to work with. You managed well!
