Self Portrait

Good to see something other than your feet. I figured you to be a 'looker'.

Nice SP.

I mean I could see you this way too

Even a small change in hair pattern can alter the appearance, i feel

Lol, but my feet are cute. Well at least I think so. And thanks. Now what is SP since I'm abbreviate illiterate can you please tell me what SP stands for even though its probably something simple and I'm going to slap my forehead once I see it.

Ah I see what you mean but I honestly had to look more than once to see what you did. Well 99.5 % of the time I have a ponytail in. Can't stand my hair in my face but can't stand to cut it. All I did before I took this was take it out of the tail. :blushing:

Blurred the background a bit...

So ok this is the second attempt. And before anyone chimes in I know its soft lol. I had a really hard time focusing on where my eyes were going to be by myself. Other night I had my 4 year old stand on the chair and I focused on his shirt where my eyes were. Tried a make shift thing but didn't really work.

Pose is different but everything I tried holding looked goofy and forced lol.

Bokeh and colour look great. It really is tough to get that focus when you are fighting really thin DOF. Sorry about chiming in on the softness... really just acknowledging how difficult it is.

Don't be sorry at all. I really like every else about it except that its so bloody soft.

Is the picture a surprise for your husband? If not, couldn't you set up the shot and get him to focus for you? Anyway, I tried to see if the focus could be brought back and it made you look a little cartoony. One thing I did notice, though, is that the light modifier is filling your pupils and they are fully dilated.

Nope he wasn't home. If I was giving my husband pictures as a present they wouldn't be this kind. Always wanted to do a boudoir session but don't want to pay the ridiculous amount to get it done.

I had on the large softbox this time as opposed to the umbrella I did last. Should I switch back. I want to do some portraits of my best friends kid for her for Christmas shots and am just practicing. My kids are 2 and 4 and 13 and the young ones won't sit still and the teenager is at her fathers.

The lighting is whatever you are comfortable with. It looks like you have a nice exposure in this pic so I wouldn't switch. You might be able to adjust the angle so that you don't have to do pp. When you take the shots of your friend's kids, you'll be behind the camera and spot those details. I was just saying you can clone some of the pupil back (as in the edit).

If you ever come through Ontario, I'd be wiling to help with your boudoir shots How big is your husband in case he doesn't like them?

Haha um he's not that big. 6'2 - 215. He's just a farm boy you know. :greenpbl: Lol, I used to come to Ontario every summer, St. Thomas area where abouts are you?
