    You know, all this talk of self portraits got me thinking. I entered DSS#25 with a shot of myself using nothing more than a hotel pillow as a tripod and a single hotel wall lamp as my studio lighting.

    As for regular self-portraits you just need to become creative with lighting, I did a few with my point-and-shoot camera last summer sometimes using one of those bendable lamps. But for the most part I'm with you, there are some photographers I know who do almost exclusively self-portraits and are very bold in what they will do in them. For me it's a much rarer thing Usually being a part of the body not a traditional portrait. But recently I did get some studio lights which is letting me have some fun with it.
    ==================

    oh yes Jon.... We know...

    We just witnessed your expertise in foot portraiture..mwink.gif

    OK, but only 2 feet allowed, not six or seven..rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gif

    You guys just keep pushing for an SP Theme and your gonna end up getting it... Kerry is gonna call your bluff.deal.gif, then what? rolleyes1.gif

    Well, it will be one of the most interesting rounds ever I am sure..eek7.gifhuheek7.gifD

    oh yeah Silver, I remember that round and that entry...It was amazing you did that while on the road.. Still it is your back..blbl.gif What if she sets the rules to face or front view only? Then what?eek7.gifhuheek7.gif

    I don't think I am going to be able to pull that off with a motel lamp. rolleyes1.gif
    well maybe, if I go with a super grungy effect with low roadside motel lighting..hahaha

    I might be shooting with the Nikon and Fuji's more now but I still have lots of love for my Olympus kit especially since I can fit lenses that go from 18-300mm in 35mm terms plus a macro in a small camera bag. deal.gif

    Well, I've finally got the mulah for an upgraded body and can't find an Oly E-620 anywhere in UT, so I started to look at the D90, D5000, 500D and 50D. I finally found an image comparison between the 620, D5000 and 500D (T1i), all the same scene on the same day and time. I have to say that I like the Oly better... that means I have to wait until I get home to get it :cry

    I LOVE the size and weight too.

    I need a good deleting for my one that is marked Please Delete too, please.

    It's not that we're erasing images, it's that we're looking at the gallery and realizing we need to polish our images a little bit more ... which is one of the points of competing, no? deal.gif
