The Remains of the Roots of the World
Even after its decapitation, the driftwood roots still had photographic potential when viewed in wider aspect. I hadn't planned to do another self-portrait session, but the limits of my camera angle and composition really demanded something else in the frame and the only fully mobile and posable option was to place myself in front of the glass again.
Using my 20mm f3.5 AIS and a tripod, I found myself going back to basics and scrambling to scale the tricky structure and pose before the timer ran out. The Nikon D300 alas, lacks a built-in IR port to use the inexpensive and useful ML-L3 remote. Of my several variations, I think this came out best.
