**THE ALL NEW ARTSY FARTSY SELF PORTRAIT THREAD!!!!**

[woodsac]

So, like most, I'm not too fond of posting pics of myself. But since this is the "artsy-fartsy" it's not gonna be a real clear pic :mrgreen: My wife Sicily and I on the way to Death Valley yesterday.

 

[LaFoto]

That is ONE cool pic here!!!
I am so glad to be seeing you at last!!! Was about time!
We had the pleasure of seeing Sicily before when she was still expecting, but yourself?!?
Thanks for putting this one up at last!

Too funny, no I don't. But you'd probably really think I did if you saw all of my tattoos eydryan and LaFoto, thank you!

The last one I posted is a little over a year old so I thought I would post some newer ones I tried to do in front of my new backdrop the other day. Unfortunately, ALL of them turned out blurry. I tried to put an object where I would be and focus on it, but I am pretty sure when I reached over to press the shutter release, it automatically refocused. (any tips/suggestions are welcome, but I should probably repost it elsewhere right?)

Very nice, April.


One from me...

little bit arty little bit farty.

AprilRamone, I like them alot!

You might try switching to manual focus (if you've got that function,) then the cam won't refocus right before the picture.

Two suggestions, try manual mode to keep it from autofocusing, and move to New England.

Hahaha. It's way too cold up there for me!
Also thanks for the compliments Xmetal and Mountainlander....My old camera was always manual focus so I forgot that you have to switch it on the lens with my new camera. I'll be sure to do that next time!
