    Kids...dont try this at home..im a trained idiot.

    Got a shot of the studio in just before i ran from the unit to the road screaming. No-one would stop to give me a lift to hospital...no-one. Had to run all the way there.

    All is ok until 5 min 33 sec after you put it on....you notice a slight warming.

    5 min 38 sec...its starting to feel like battery acid, liitle warning of the heat curve coming.

    5 mins 43 sec...you run to start trying to wash it off

    5 mins 45 secs...you know you wont make it to the bathroom

    5 mins 49 secs...you dive head first to the floor, stop..drop & roll just aint gonna do it this time round.

    I empty a bottle of something over my head to soothe the burning only to find its shoe whitener (that should have been UNDER the sink madeleine !)

    6 mins 24 sec...i look like a photo negative of Al Jolson.



    Dont know if i'll be doin' that one again.

    Lyn..i have a 300 yard approach limit on members of the pulic so i really only have myself to photograph.

    I do sometimes hide in the drains under the road & surprise them as you can get some great 'at the moment' shots that way.

    Got a heap of 'running from behind' shots also.

    Good Shot Humungus. Why don't you try it again with a little bit of red added on the left cheek. (It just needs something, I would give it another go...........if I were you) :roll

    Does this mean your not entering the Green Man?

    I'm going to give my honest opinion here, OK?
    This is a cool shot. Very creative mind you have! But, I'm sorry, I would not have known that was "Jim" if you hadn't said so. Really, IMHO I think a "portrait" would have to be a "likeness" of somebody. This is a very interesting "reflection" though. :D Maybe you could shoot Jim in his towel when he gets out of the shower. mwink.gif

    Sure you can. Just aim your camera at your wife or your kids or a roo or something. It's easy as that.

    Or maybe at the mirror in your bathroom, heh?mwink.gif
