#8 Self Portrait

OK so I am about done with this theme, but I think I got the best pictures today.

Morning Coffee

 

1/4, f4.0, ISO 400, Focal Length 25.0mm, SOOC

I am so tired of this theme!

 

1/13, f3.5, ISO 400, Focal Length 18.0mm, Cropped

#7 Self Portrait

 

1/20, f5.6, ISO 800, 34.0mm Focal Length, Flash pointed up to the ceiling

 

So far this is the only picture I like of myself this week. I may try for 1 more tomorrow, but I am about done with this theme.

#6 Self Portrait

OK this may seam boring, but I tried several ideas that didn't pan out, so I decided to get a shot of my favorite winter boots.

1/20, f5.6, ISO 800, Focal Length 46.0mm, Flash on it's side pointed towards me.

#5 Self Portrait

Paparazzi

 

1/60, f5.0, ISO 400, Focal Length 31.0mm

1/60, f5.0, ISO 400, Focal Length 31.0m

I had fun taking these pictures. I had to include both a "annoyed" picture along with a "camera shy" picture.

#4 Self Portrait

 

1/20, f5, ISO 800, Focal Length 35.0mm, No Flash, 2 Umbrella Lights.

Here is my 1st True Self Portrait. It has taking me several hours of moving my umbrella lights to get to this point and I am frustrated. I have done some reading about lighting, but just can't quite get it. I know that I need a main light that should be positioned about 45 degrees up and to one side and the other light should be used as a fill, but I still can't get a soft shadow to one side of my face. Also, the color is still off. I have changed my metering, but it doesn't seem to help. At this point I am open to any suggestions.

#3 Self Portrait

Birthday Suit

1/20, f6.3, ISO 800, No Flash, 2 Umbrella Lights

#2 Self Portrait

 

1/15, f6.3, ISO 800, Focal Length 31.0mm, No Flash, Tri-pod

I got this idea from my teenage daughters. They are always taking pictures of themselves in the mirror to put on Facebook. I think the double image adds to it.
