Default Assignment: Selfportrait

SPs are a lot of fun. I may change my assignment picture but for now this is it.

So I ended up posting this one. It might be too processed for the assignment in someone's opinion but I don't care. I love it and it would be so much worse without the processing. Self-portrait is supposed to tell something about the photographer and this photo says that I like processing my photos to make them better and I'm not ashamed of it or feel that I'm worse photographer because of it. :-)

6/52 I'm tired of living in this rain of grey, with you stealing my umbrella, ella ella eh eh eh.

Camera: Sony DSC-H50
Exposure: 0.017 sec (1/60)
Aperture: f/3.2
Focal Length: 5.2 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: Off
Taken on March 2nd 2009
Processed with GIMP, texture credits can be found in the photo description in Flickr.

You have such a great imagination.... Your shots are always inspirational and a delight to see. After that I am lost for ideas...

OK, this was a lot of fun. I started out taking just portraits of myself, and then I decided to get a little more creative after seeing someone else's shot of themselves behind a frame. Hope you like it!

Hung Up!
