Default Assignment: Headshot

This is a completely different image from what I originally had in mind (playing with a new portrait and an old passport photo in the foreground). As Jane and I did some music practise this morning, we noticed amazing reflections from her flute on the wall which I couldn't pass up:

Flute Reflections

Camera: Nikon D40
Exposure: 1/60s
Aperture: f/11
Focal Length: 50mm (50mm f/1.8 lens)
ISO Speed: 200
Date: 25 October 2008

I have done some post processing to enhance colours and contrast but the light effect is entirely natural.

What a beautiful child. The eyes are absolutely amazing. Are they really that colour or have you pp'd them? Even if you did, this is an awesome photo.

Default Assignment: Headshot

Owwww... I hate getting my picture taken - as is evident on both my drivers license as well as my passport... And it seems it's something I have in common with my friends. They've dodged my camera too!
Nevertheless, I promised myself a few months back to participate weekly. Here's my self portrait in which I've tried to capture my aversion to ending up in photos myself:

I'm jealous of all the parents who have kids that will actually smile at the camera. This is the disgusted look I get whenever I take out the camera at my house. Sigh.

Default Self Portrait

for assignment: Headshot
 MeSmall
This is my first self portrait. Might be my last. I used an old trick and removed the lens from an old pair of glasses to eliminate the glare that would have been there.
Taken with D300, iso 800, 1/60th. Sigma 18-200 @52mm, f 4.6. SB800 as remote flash with a paper snorkel. The Nikon "creative lighting system" is pretty cool!

After some thinking, I decided that I would go simple this week. This was taken on the street at night just before going to our relatives place, so our sisters in the car were rushing us lol. I'm happy with the result considering our circumstances at the time =p

He may not be smiling, but this is a great "serious" shot. I really like the angle of his head and the way his eyes are looking sideways. Also love the shirt.
