Self Portrait

[Ian]

This has turned out noticeably darker than in Photoshop - but I'd be interested in any comments anyway.

I saw my reflection in the opposite window while on my way home from London on the train one evening this week. I used a small compact point and shoot to take the picture.

I am struggling to give any meaningful critique on this Ian, bu suffice to say that I really like the grittiness (sp?) of it.

A nice image!

This is more like it, I had the wrong colour space applied - probably by the channel mixer action for creating the greyscale version of the image:

Re: Self Portrait

This image has originality and looks totally unposed. In fact, it looks more like a candid than a self portrait and was definitely worth taking. It demonstrates the value of always being alert to unexpected possibilities, and always carrying a camera.

Haha! I had fun with it. The train was approaching my stop so I had to move fast I took two shots but one was jogged by the train's instability. I knew it would turn out like a hybrid self/candid (contradiction in terms!) picture. From my point of view, it's a weird study of myself from an angle I don't often see.

Re: Self Portrait

I like this Ian. Works really well. The camera is very unobtrusive and as such you have achieved a voyeuristic feel as if you were remote from the person and viewing them from outside.

Good guess! But No - London Midland (Silverlink is history now).
