anat1 0 Posted July 28, 2010 Such a lovely composition and that much cooler since it is a self-portrait!I don't think I can add anything to the already very useful comments and appreciation. But possibly increasing the DOF may help keep everything in focus (esp. when its tricky with self portraits).Kudos. Link to comment

bela_dick 1 Posted October 8, 2010 Hi there Trisha.I have read how you made this. I think you got the most out of the given light. The composition is great and I like the tones and the backdrop.Kind regardsBela Dick Link to comment
trisha jean-angela 5 Posted October 8, 2010 Thank you so much; that is very kind of you to say...and your support helps me to want to keep trying. I can only use available light...I don't have any studio lights (or even a studio for that matter!) and I took this shot of the reflection in the mirror, hand-held while sitting on a wobbly blow up air mattress! Believe me, this was not an easy shoot! I just wish I knew what I was doing...but in time I will learn. Thank you again for your visit and encouragement. Good to hear from you again. :) Link to comment
bela_dick 1 Posted November 9, 2010 Hello there.Seems we share the same obstacles. I would love to have some studio lights, too. Would help me a lot ...I hope :)Still I think it is a good way of learning by just using the natural light first. So just keep up the good work - and I will be there too to keep an eye on your work.Warm RegardsBela Dick Link to comment
trisha jean-angela 5 Posted November 10, 2010 Thank you so much for leaving that word of encouragement Bela! You don't know how much I appreciate it, especially since I am feeling so discouraged lately.So, we share some of the same obstacles do we? Do you take photos of your feet from the position of sitting on a wobbly air mattress while holding your camera in your hand in front of a mirror too? LOL! Whoever said photography was easy doesn't know anything about photography!Again...Thank you so much for your encouragement! Good to hear from you again! :) Link to comment
