Assignment #39: Profile

NikolaiNikolai Registered Users Posts: 19,035 Major grins
edited August 17, 2007 in Assignments
Hopefully everybody got enough Food and we can get back to target practice.
Who said a photographer need to keep the low profile? Let's shoot the person who said it, and let's shoot some profiles!

Your target does not have to be human (although that's a mostly appreciated subject). It doesn't even have to be alive - cars, planes and ships carry nice profiles, too.

Please watch your angle! And remember, profile does not have to be a silhouette. Moreover, in the interest of this class let's NOT shoot silhouettes! :deal

As usual, fresh pictures only (meaning: taken AFTER you have become aware of this assignment),
moderate post-processing.

For the rest of the basic rules and index please check out this sticky.

Let's start profiling! :D

    Kathy, that's probably because you're pbase user and you're logged in into your account. Try to logout of PBase, clear the browser cache and check if you still can see them...

    Trouble shooting
    Nik,

    I signed out of pbase and I reconfirmed that the pictures in my galleries are enabled . The photo shows in the thread and I signed out of both pbase and out of dgrin. If it's still not there, then I guess I can't play!:cry

    John Lennon in the house!
    Damn cats and children move to fast for me. But not John. Nope, he's steady as a rock and posed as if he were blissfully unaware of my existance. :D

    Okay Nik - I can see SD's image of the Star Wars guys....and mine is there too. I saw mine today using IE 6.0 and 7.0 and not where I was signed into Pbase or Smug Mug or Dgrin!

    Could it be your browser? Are you using Mozilla?

    Thank you. :D
    The light is coming from the top and I think it is halogen.
    The light is indeed very bright and I feel it doesn't need any correction.
