My one, and only, self portrait.

This was kind of inspired by Mike's shot above (his is definately one of my favorite self-portraits). I posted it a minute ago, but this is the straightened version.

Nice job. I've thought of the fridge a few times, but believe me, it was easier to have a clean dish washer to shoot out of than our refridgerator. I'm not a left over person, but my wife is.

Lots of cool shots here, and nice to put a face to a name.

I have to see if I have one...

Wow, lots of beautiful people on here. I wasn't very cooperative, but I liked the shot.....

TC, how do you get your pics so freakin sharp and detailed?? What lens/aperture did you use here? Or is it more in the post processing?

Hello. Well, I never got truley sharp images until I bought L glass. While I think you can get sharp images with some cheaper and third party lenses, the L series REALLY makes a difference. I appreciate your comments, because I've become quite the pixel peeper and pretty much delete anything where I don't nail the focus. So, I'm glad to see my extra efforts are noticable. BTW- The post processing is important as well when resizing and compressing. I don't do anything special tho. I process all my RAW in DPP (crop, resize, mess with color, brightness, sharpness etc.) then convert to tiff for polishing in PSP. Here I normally add little more sharpness (not High Pass or USM) to compensate for the compression to JPG.

This shot was taken by my girlfriend at F5.6 with the 24/70L.
