This weekend I took some photos of myself in order to play around with catchlights- the afternoon light was beautiful. I took about 20 shots and this was about the best of them. I must say, I think it came out pretty well! And I got lucky- the POTW theme fit just right! So you get the 1) BW version, 2) color version (no PS, just cropped) and 3) the original. Tell me what you think- good, bad, ugly, helpful tips of any kind are welcome!
The other thing about doing this was I saw a "me" I've never seen in the mirror. I look so different on film. It's kinda weird to look at yourself *still* in time...

I think I like the b&w the best because of the contrast and your eyes stand out more. Actually, Ann, you don't really look like that. The picture makes your face look "flatter" or something. I think you look better in person (but it's still a cool pic). I do like the "glow" of the light.
Yeah, I think you look different in person also. It's like recording your voice and then listening to the playback; it usually sounds different. The new picture at the top of your blog is great, did you take that one?
It's been so long since I've seen ya I can't go with the prev. comments... BUT to me you look young here. I remember your hair short- I liked it then and like it long now. These are great shots though... I hate taking photos of myself. Have you been to my blog and seen my tulips? OH and I'm shooting my first wedding soon!
Pretty pictures! You're actually much prettier in person but I really like the pics. There is an everyday, simple look to them. You'll soon have to classify yourself as a professional photographer.
