Not sure how my wife would feel about her "portrait" involving her eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but it's a good shot of her wedding ring.

"Is this thing on?"

These "portraits" assignments aren't just way out of my own comfort zone, I still can't get any of my friends to pose for me either...! Camera shy myself (in front of the camera, that is), I've opted for the classic head-in-video-camera-test-recording that should go with a sound bite asking "is this thing on?":



I chose the Venetian blinds as backdrop because I think they provide a nice contrast for a B&W picture. Post-processing with PaintShopPro, increased contrast and brightness, then converted to gray scale.

One of my first attempts at a self-portrait using a tripod and remote shutter release, let alone my first set of self-portraits! A great assignment. I am glad to have time again to get into the mood (summer holidays)! Adjusted exposure, black levels, luminance levels etc in Lightroom 2.
