1 Me - no make up! 1/365 and 5/52
First of my 365 - one self portrait a day for a whole year!! We shall see!
Busy week at work, picked up 2 new projects. And made it to my pilates class this week :-)
But I did get to play too, taking some shots at work at a breakfast meeting on Wednesday. Originally they had booked a photographer (or so I thought) and then I found out at 5pm the night before that they hadn't. It presented some lighting challenges (skin tones and badly lit room) but ...SB800 to the rescue (fab Christmas pressie especially as it came with earrings too LOL trinkets and technology work for me ... thank you, Wayne x)
Plans for the weekend were changed at the last minute ... but in the end it meant that an even more relaxed weekend was in order - yay!
Have been very lucky and been given a D300 to borrow - so now I am attempting to use it - trial and error but I know that I will have to delve into the manual but it is 400+ pages long!
Pic taken indoors, no flash. Image has been very slightly cropped. Colours/contrast a little too - I wanted to bring the focus to my eye (BTW you can see reflection of house in my eye) ... but my monitor is not brilliant so it may be too much?
