Challenge: Self Portrait V (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: Home
Date: Nov 4, 2006
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 200
Shutter: .3
Galleries: Self Portrait
Date Uploaded: Nov 4, 2006

 Since most of my time at home seems to be spent in front of the computer, it seemed the most likely postion for a self portrait. I used a self timer. My biggest problem was lighting. I had all the lights on in the room, but got a glare on the computer screen.

Post processing was adjusting levels, brightness and contrast and adding a cooling filter to get rid of an orange tint.

Funny portrait. I think the focus seems a bit off. Great expression.

I like the personality of this photo. Between the title and her expression, you can completely know what she is thinking. I only wish there wasn't the window glare on the photo in the computer, but great concept!!

A: Just ask your DPC friends!!! lol
I love your natural pose here, although I'd like to see more of you and less of the monitor/computer.

Meets Challenge Superbly, however there are glaring issues here, specifically blown highlights in the windows, harsh reflections in the screen and the screen's image is also way blown out. There is less subject overall than overexposed area.

A faster shutter speed for this image and/or a smaller F-stop would greatly reduce these problems. Your hand appears blurred, due to slow shutter (everything else is in focus). Unfortunately, a somewhat boring image.

Score: 2
