Self Portrait

I discovered taking self portraits is very difficult especially when you hold the camera at arms length! The trash has more than I kept!

Anyway, I totally disliked the color photo so I applied MRE Photo Basics - Classic Sepia with color and then applied the Smart Glow. Pictures of myself are never a favorite so doing this every Friday could really be a challenge.

 

Since I spent a whole lot of time in my car I decided that this would be good setting for my first attempt at taking self.

 

The paper is from the Roma Collection

Brackets: SBA-ss-DLO- 4 x 6 bracket

Font is Loved by the King

From the album:

I think you did a great job. I love the idea of photographing yourself doing something you do everyday, instead of just posing. I'll try that next time. The black and white is nice and I like the colors in the layout, especially the flowers. I love flowers:) Thanks for sharing.

I'm with you on finding the every Friday task of doing a layout of ME very challenging, but you've done a great job with this one. I like the idea of the sepia, but hadn't thought of the soft glow. I'm working on mine (I know, it's very late) now and will go back and try that! Thanks so much for the inspiration. And say, you look like a nice, happy, courteous driver too! Wish you were here in Northern Virginia!

That is a very fun portrait. I love the expression on your face and taking it in the car is a good idea (hope you weren't driving at the time -- they say cell phones are bad -- lol). I like the color tones that you have applied and they work really well with your chosen background.

I like the idea of taking your photo where you spend a lot of time. Your treatment of your photo is very nice and I agree that the flowers are a nice touch!

Such a good idea taking your pix in the car. This kind of idea never comes to me, that's why I enjoy seeing everyones pictures.
