Default Hi , 2nd attempt at a sp

Decided to put me as my avartar, so was just playing around tonight with the nifty50 and some high contrast B&W ... nothing great, but I killed my battery using live view , so only got a few to fiddle with.

HCME

I thought since I always wear my glasses I should leave them on .. WHOA talk about a reflection magnet ! .. I have zero experiance with this type of shooting, but it was fun. I like fantasy style blended photos, so I took creative license

Vin

Looks pretty good. You did a nice job with the PP. To stop the glare on the glasses you may need to turn your head some or get some off camera lighting going on. I like it though.

Hi Vin, nice to meet you. I haven't really done a self portrait...at least not one I'm willing to share...I am more comfortable on the back side of the camera.

I like this shot a lot.

You're a thinking man if I ever saw one. Now you just need to get one of you and your brother together!

I like the creative license you took with this one. I need to work on a SP, but first, I need to learn how to "soften the edges". Great job

Hey Vin good to see you back I know you werent feeling well for a while but you have made a good recovery if this is what you accomplish on your 1st try. How exactly did you light it and I know what you mean about the glasses and reflection Ive caught more umbrellas in anything that can reflect than I care to mention. Also Ive got to learn that blending technique I really likre that effect Nice job buddy good to see you back
