April 18 2004:
Gazing

Been dull and wet all day long. Must be a Self Portrait day!

This is actually a duotone, which I have further adjusted with Contrast and Levels. Well, at least I think that’s what I did, as I’ve been fiddling around with the outtakes quite a bit!

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/400s f/4.0 at 38.0mm iso400 full exif

Very nice photo Ray. You look like you're looking to the heavens for an answer.

Everyone seems to be talking about the toning... but it would still be a great pic without it. It's the lighting and composition that make it work so well. As if you're looking up, trying to find a way out of the darkness.

Ray this is good. You appear to have painted yourself in gold or as Jeanne stated a bronze. A bronze statue.
Guest 18-Apr-2004 18:43
Ohh, beautiful shot.
I like this one.
