Alex 0 Posted October 15, 2010 Thanks Alberto. I took quite a few pictures to get one that I like enough. I sat the camera on the tripod and set it to manual focus and I was using a remote control to trigger the camera. Between the pictures I crop either my son or my self out and the out of focus I'm sure happy I use a digital camera. Otherwise I would have sepnt more than one 36 roll of folm for sure.Thanks for your comment.Alex Link to comment
Alex 0 Posted October 15, 2010 I've tried many times to get an acceptable picture due to the fact that I was triggering the camera with the remote control and often enough I ended up out of focus out partially out of the frame. After many attempts I kept this one. Thanks for your comments. Alex Link to comment

trisha jean-angela 3 Posted October 15, 2010 Very sweet portrait made even more wonderful knowing this is a self-portrait! They are so hard to get clear and sharp! Very well done! Thank you for sharing this very tender view of father and son! :) Link to comment
Christal1664882414 0 Posted October 16, 2010 What a wonderful and touching image! The emotional connection comes through loud and clear.....the love is palpable! I love that you both have caps on, and that the kiss isn't quite completed, which reveals all of the facial features and that adorable pucker of your son. If I were to be really picky, I'd like to see a bit more light in 2 places.....right under your cap I'd like to see a slight separation between your forehead and the background......and the same with your right shoulder. But this is one of the sweetest images I've seen in a long time, and on that I'm off to bed! :-) Link to comment

paulcasagrande 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Questa foto l'avevo gia votata positivamente, ora trovo il tempo per dire che è un bel progetto,di grande forza ed è un bel messaggio !A mio vedere avrei spostato l'inquadratura un po ha sinistra",per il capellino", ma non è vitale.

A very touching portrait done with love and photographic skills.Take good care dear Alex and all the best to you and your family from Jannica Link to comment
tonyfrench 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Alex, this is a wonderful self portrait with your son. The hats are a great touch. Link to comment
vadima 0 Posted October 23, 2010 Great self-portrait, Alex. I really like your choice to use completely black background. Link to comment
pfranklin 0 Posted October 24, 2010 Very touching moment, excellent lighting and wow what a great self portrait! You have a huge talent in self portraits that is quite inspiring. I am betting that you have had to take many bad shots to figure out how to get the great ones you present here on PN. Do you use a monitor that you can see while posing or is it blind and something you need to set up just right before jumping into the frame with your remote?Warm regards, Pamela Link to comment
Alex 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. My son does no usually cooperate with pictures, this is one of those rare occasions. PAMELA the way I normally do this kind of pictures is with a tripod mounted camera set to manual mode. I adjust the lighting and exposure so is enough to give me an F7.1 or F8. Then I put a piece of tape on the floor and set a light stand or anything that will be right on top of the tape that could aid with focusing. I then focus the lens with on the light stand, switch it to manual mode and that is it. With the remote trigger I shoot a few pictures and make sure that my face is somewhere in the same plane as the tape in the floor. That is what I love about digital it does not matter how many frames I have to shoot since I cost me nothing and I can learn a lot about lighting and bla bla bla.RegardsAlex Link to comment
pfranklin 0 Posted October 25, 2010 Alex,Thank you for taking the time to explain how you accomplish these self images. I appreciate the little lesson. I am always trying to learn new techniques especially with lighting!Best regards, Pamela Link to comment
