'08 Subject Assignment - SELF PORTRAIT - Due Aug 1st

[Jon0807]

Only thing I see wrong is the composition.

I disagree, I really like the composition. The photo has alot of character and feel to it. Really nicely done!

Hmmmm, I dont know why but that picture made me think of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver ...

 

[johngpt]

Similar age, similar pose, similar expression.

Other than that, I don't see it! :lmao:

Compositionally, she could be standing a foot or two camera-right so that her head is positioned in front of that dead space on the wall-thingy behind her instead of covering up some of the detail of the black-patch-thingy-ma-whoozits.

That would, however put her face in that shadow so something would have to be done about that...

The pic has a wonderful feel to it! I love the pose and the expression. That your looking off towards where the light is coming from totally makes the mood of the picture! That building has a wonderful quality to it as well.

Oh! I just noticed that the camera doesn't seem to be quite level. The pic seems to need a slight CCW rotation.

Really, my nit-picks are minor and I truly love this shot!

Just pulled the memory card out of my wife's point and shoot and noticed our 4 year old was taking some shots on her own! Evidently she wanted a submission for the self-portrait assignment!

 

[johngpt]

Too cute!

Wonder how long it took for her to be able to see again after the flash!

 

[Big Bully]

What a cutie.

haha cute picture, my little 7 year old niece likes to take photos too. When ever I go over to see her she like to use my camera sometimes and take pictures.

 

[johngpt]

Got my new monitor today!

I hate mac's function that only allows you to make one screensaver for the entire background

I'm probably misunderstanding. It's one of my strengths.

Did you mean that I might not be able to have a different desktop background on the second monitor? If you did mean that, I've discovered that I can set up a different background on the new monitor. By right clicking on it's screen, I can call up System Preferences and change the background to what I want, leaving the desktop background on the laptop as it was.

I did this using a black and white background so that photos I'm editing are against a more neutral setting.

My photo above was shot within minutes of setting up the new monitor and it defaulted to the desktop settings of the laptop.

If I've misunderstood your comment, sorry. Again, next to 'Conclusion Jumping,' 'Misconstruing' was my best Olympic event. :mrgreen:

[Plankton]

Heres me taken with the good ol' hold the camera at arms length and hope it comes out technique. Was just prone in the sand taking shots of a bird hence the sand on my face.

cheers

[johngpt]

Dionysus, that's such a well exposed, framed, and focused image.

Very expressive.
