Self portrait. I'm wearing the St. Christopher's pendant that Grandma gave me - I wear it every day and it is supposed to bring good luck to you while you're traveling.
Self Portrait - January 2010
Used to participate to the L'Image Rit contest of January.
I used a combo pass portrait.
I took part in my first draft today (Tripod Invader - 7051). The clear windscreen was one of my choices (http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50747).
The three photos were taken with my iPhone using Camera+, put through blur apps, and then combined with Blender
I belong to a local photography club and every month we have a competition, this month it is 'Self Portrait' full edit allowed, like most photographers I know what side of the lens I'd rather be, so I thought this would be an excellent excuse for me to have a play around.
So I have been playing around with my lights and enjoying every bit of it. Sadly though, I have to model for myself.
The good thing though, is that I now have a few decent enough pictures of myself which I can use as my display picture.
Oh and this picture maybe a little out of focus, but what can you do with self portraits?

A self portrait of "Raphie" wearing the first known hoodie.
Raphael, a master with the brush and the log. A stylish goofy footer known for hangin heels and celebrating the perfection of grace. Many would flock from Florence to the coast to see the hot doggin' stylee of "Raphie". An interesting side note, cross stepping was not an easy task in those days as the robes often times had long tassels that would have tangled them up.
Bigflowered Self-heal (Prunella grandiflora). Öland, Sweden. Especially distinguishable from its cousin, Common Self-heal (Prunella vulgaris), by the distance between the inflorescence and the first pair of leaves. The latter species has leaves right below the flowerhead.
My first attempt at strobist photography after getting a new Yongnuo YN560 III flash and RF-603C triggers
Very impressed with the build quality and the range, photos taken with a Canon 550D and a 24-105mm L lens
Playing with the lighting gear again tonight. Gosta get me a better model!

Dear Flickr friends,
this self-portrait is here to promote two exciting things going on: I have a brand new website and I will have my frist exhibition next month!
The exhibition is called "Closer" and will feature only macro pictures (some are already here on Flickr, some are not). The location is a very nice restaurant in Tampere, Finland, called Telakka (http://www.telakka.eu/): I really like that place and I am so very happy that my pictures will be there!
So if you are around Tampere during August, please go and check it out!
If you would like to see and know more, please check my website: lafraphotography.tk/

Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) is a common herb in Britain and is especially visible on lawns that have not been treated with weedkiller. The plant has a long history of medicinal use, and traditionally the leaves are applied to wounds to promote healing. According to the 16th-century herbalist John Gerard, ‘there is not a better wounde herbe in the world’. The 17th-century botanist Nicholas Culpeper wrote that the plant is called selfheal because ‘when you are hurt, you may heal yourself’.
Prior to World War II, it was used to staunch bleeding and for treating heart disease. A decoction of the leaves was used to treat sore throats and internal bleeding. It is used as an anti-inflammatory and has anti-allergic activity. In western medicine it is used externally for treating minor injuries, sores, burns, bruises and can also be used as a mouthwash to treat mouth ulcers.
Whereas in European countries herbalists have mainly used selfheal for treating wounds, in Chinese medicine it is mainly used for treating liver complaints, acting as a stimulant in the liver and gall bladder. Selfheal shows antiviral properties, and in China it is used as an anti-cancer drug.
Aside from its medical uses, Prunella vulgaris is a valuable addition to areas of grassland managed for wildflowers and wildlife, but can spread into cultivated areas if unchecked.
