Nice, I like it! I think I wish there was less of the rocks in the photo, I don't really know.

I did some weird self portraits last night. Mine are obviously more "dirty" if you will.

the outfit isn't really flattering for a portrait :/

Can't see very well but the ring on your left hand (looks like an engagement ring) is really pretty

Oh I wish it was mine. It was just a park nearby my cousin's house. It is a really beautiful place. The 24-70L isn't treating me very well - I have not got it yet! I haven't quite saved up enough cash yet - hehe. I'll get it in October-November for sure. I heard about a rebate Canon might bring out within those months so I might wait till that comes out, save a hundred or so.





Yeah, I didn't really plan the photo that well. I could always crop it, but I don't know if it would give the same effect?

Interesting photos - is that you?



Oh, c'mon! It so fits the portrait! :lol:  Nah, I know it doesn't - I never planned that part out at all...

Yeah it's an engagement ring, thank you! It belonged to my great-grandmother.



Yes it is. And yeah I thought about how it would look cropped but I figured it wouldn't give the same affect either.

I set up my cam, composed, set the timer. Cousin pressed the remote button, while I posed several different poses. I liked this one the best. Shot in raw. It's rather different from all the other photos I take. I thought it was pretty neat actually.

Oh cool ! I'm not sure I really understand your photos and why you posed the way you did.

Quote (balakain @ Sep 15 2010 07:40pm)

I don't like boring old photos and poses. I am a weird awkward person and I like to show it in my photos. The first one was just to give off a sort of creepy sad vibe.

Ahh okay. Interesting though, your style is very unique

Thank you

It's unique in a good way. Not weird in a bad, uselessly pathetic way
