Fully edited version of the self portrait uploaded earlier - www.facebook.com/phillippalmerphotography
In today's self-portrait, I'm captured in my element, seated before my laptop, engrossed in work. The scene is bathed in warm Tungsten lighting, enhanced by a full CTO filter on my trusty Godox TT350C (set to TTL mode at -2). To ensure the perfect illumination, I combined the power of a Godox AD 200 Pro (also in TTL mode) with a Nikon SB-28 using optical flash at 1/16 power for subtle fill light. While initially experimenting with just the computer's ambient light, my patience wore thin, reaffirming my preference for being 'behind' the camera.
I'm feeling sad today because my little Belgian Bantam rooster, Marcel, was killed in the night by an Australian native animal, a Quoll, which tends to enjoy eating chooks!
Marcel was a very good companion in the garden, with his little hen, and always pottered around near me when I was outside!
So this is my tristesse en(?) photo, a portrait for today.
For information on Quolls:
For my self portraits I'm putting together outfits consisting of my mom and aunts' old clothes that they left at my grandparents' house. What I am doing in each photo is based off the vibe each outfit gives off to me.
My light goes out when I want it to. So I think i might do a series like this. with people being furniture. We'll see, but im actually really pleased with how this one turned out.
Only b/c flicker troller "Nionyn" requested how photos are made:
vivitar 285hv camera front left + radiopoppers.
I've been practicing my black and white and self portraits this weekend. I didn't really like this shot, but I think the black and white really makes it.
Experimenting with self portraits.
Strobist: Main light @ 1/4 through umbrella camera right
580 EXII @ 1/2 bounced on white umbrella for fill high camera left
360PX @ 3/4 behind me for hair light
triggered with pocketwizards
My whole idea for this 3-part series was to portray me as a reflection in various portraits of other people. I do alot of portrait photographer, and thought that this would be a good way to show that I'm almost always behind the camera, not in front of it.
I shot this on Tmax100, Canon elan, 24-70 f/2.8 @ f/10.
I was sick with a stomach bug when I took this. See the dark circles under my eyes? I've been taking some pictures of myself since posting on flickr and travelling (which gave me the photo bug in gen'l.) I might have dismissed this as vain or juvenile before but it's useful for a few reasons I think. One is I am not comfortable getting my picture taken so this is helping me with this. Second, it's helping me see myself more clearly than looking in the mirror...with more self-acceptance, perhaps. And I'm in control of the camera, which I like. I think I walk around half the time with a distorted sense of what I look like. Anyone else relate to this?
My youngest- she's 18 (and a half)- makes me go to movies with her now and then. Mostly because she doesn't like going alone. The last two times, I didn't want to go- they're "Twilight" movies.
All I can say is this: If you can separate the angsty teen romance crap from it, the vampire and werewolf legend/storyline isn't so bad. And the special effects of the wolf-changing are pretty good.
But no, we're not hardcore fans or anything like that. There's only one thing we're hardcore about and that is the renaissance faire.
This is a gruesome but bloodless tale. This Crab Spider possibly of the Angaeus species had two bad legs on its right, second and third. After this was taken I saw it put the tip of one of its bad legs in between its jaws. Then it released it only to do the same with the other one moments later. This time the operation was successful. The spider had just self-amputated its bad second right leg! No anaesthetics! Reminded me of the movie Master and Commander where the doctor cut his chest open to remove a bullet.
#2 on my 25 before 26 list is to take a photo of me, or a part of me, once every week. my goal is to be more accepting and loving of myself.
