Weekly challenge 7/31 - 8/6 Express Your Self(ie)

Nothing as fun and creative as the other submissions. I was out on the Appalachian Trail yesterday.

The hiker next to an "AT" marker near Big Meadows in Virginia:

And from the trail:

Enjoying all the creativity, but Smoke665 is my fav. so far. I find the variation of light remarkable and the black background excellent! Lots of emotion in the image.

Of course, any AT photo pulls on my heart strings. I have seen the sun coming through the trees just like that , but never able to catch it on camera like you have done, Mike. Beautiful!

Love it. Reminds me of the negative that was the focus of the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty".

Appreciate the kind words, but in all fairness this isn't a recent shot nor intended for the challenge. I merely posted as an example for illustration.

To many other things pulling at me hasn't left much time for photography lately. Have a TFP with a young lady coming up this month. Maybe I can talk her into a femme fatale, or vamp set.

I hope that works out. I would love to see the photos.

..probably why "selfies" were rare in the 1920's....

..after a week or so wait and a couple of hard earned $ to the Drugstore lady, at least five or six
prints somewhat like this.

Now that is hilarious!

I was walking around looking for shots applicable to this week's "Through the Glass" challenge and this guy kept photo bombing me!

I’m still working on my noir shots, and since I had to be my own model for this one, I though I would stick it on the selfie challenge. I realize it’s a little hokey because I don’t have much to work with, including mini blinds (they’re between two panes of glass). So I improvised, but I think it’s an improvement over my previous submission.
