Challenge: Self-Portrait III (Advanced Editing IV)
Collection: What Was I Thinking?
Camera: Canon PowerShot G5
Location: Easton, CT
Date: Feb 13, 2005
Aperture: f/2.5
Shutter: 3/5
Galleries: Humorous, Portraiture
Date Uploaded: Feb 13, 2005

 If we didn't need to use our heads, the cameras could just take the pictures on their own. That was the idea, anyway. I'm certainly not used to being on the other side of the lens.

Processing- USM, Levels, Shadow/Highlight filter, desaturate, Noise Ninja, cloned a few blemishes and straightened out the black area above my shoulders. Cloned in Tom Cruise... then thought better of it. ;-)

A VERY unique idea. Nice focus, lighting and pose. The symbolism is most appropriate. Great job.

if i was going to upgrade out of this bag, hmm, what would it be...well, the 300D is a perfectly suitable piece of equipment, and it doesn't look like there's a bad piece of glass, hmmm

Very cool idea. Have you ever droped this bag with all its contents?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Funny idea, you just need some more creative lighting and this would be perfect, the lighting seems a bit flat and also could use a little contrast boost in photoshop. Anyway, I like it and keep up the good work.
