1/20, f9.0, ISO 800, Focal Length 38.0mm, Tripod, No FlashWell, I was not happy to find out that it is self portrait week. I hate pictures of myself. So I am going to do my best to not take picture that are of my face, we'll see how that goes. This picture was a lot of work. I used my umbrella lights, but still had to move them and actually didn't use the umbrella on one of them. My goal was to get a black background (luckily we have a chalk board wall in my daughter's room) yet maintain shadows on the skin & clothing, but not have any shadows on the wall. All of this had to be done while I positioned myself after I snapped the timer. I did have to crop the picture, but only slightly. I am very please with the results.
How funny...I'm getting on to post mine and it I cut my face in 1/2 just like you did your body! We're on the same page - AGAIN! This is a GREAT picture, Suzanne! I am very impressed with the effect you achieved :) And, I had better see some pics of your face...suck it up!
ReplyDeleteYou might see a pict of my face on Monday. I have an idea I want to work on, hopefully it works out.
ReplyDeleteYou must have done the pic Brad is using on FB when you were working this out...good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol. I did. He only let me take 1 shot, so I didn't get to fix the hard shadows on his face. He said he liked it, so I guess if he's happy it's OK.
