hahaha.. thanks, honestly i dont like using flash (i only have cam's flash)

i feel like it is so unnatural, or maybe i dont know how to make it look natural light..

Well done. I don't like the look of a flash either.--lenny

You did well. And you are still young enough to not only try but also perform these! Funny idea! How come you did not do these with our Assignment of the Week in mind that we are having over in the Photo Themes every week. This week's assignment is Self Portraits, and since these are just that, it would have been perfect to do them for the assignment...

But why on earth does your room have this tiny, framed, extra little space in the wall?????? It cannot have been PLANNED for taking photos of oneself in it!!!! :scratch:

thanks Lenny for your comment..

thank you so much LaFoto, honestly i did'nt know about the weekly 'coz i dont go to that thread & the main reason why it is because i'm a 56k internet user :blushing: it eats all my time looking all the ohotos here on General Gallery.. that empty is for the chair & shoes :mrgreen:

edit: am i late for the weekly challenge? i can try different shots thought

Arch · Feb 8, 2006

Good shots.....i like number 2 & 4, think it was worth the 8sec discomfort :thumbup:

mentos_007 · Feb 8, 2006

hah did you try upside down?

Rob · Feb 8, 2006

Great shot! I'd get stuck at my age!

Maybe try a more contrasty B&W conversion (like wally's action) and a touch of USM?? If you want me to demonstrate with an edit?

Also, as Mentos says (albeit jokingly) it might actually work really well as a series of you rotating.... don't know what it would mean though!?

Always enjoy your posts!
