So this week's TWPA (this week's photography assignment) at The Dressing Room is to take a self portrait. For extra credit we can post our favorite picture on our blog for an extra TDR buck. So, I brought out my camera (Nikon D50) with my favorite lens (Nikkor 50mm f/1.4), my tripod and my remote. I also pinned up some fabric to the wall as a backdrop. I wanted to really focus on the eyes so I set the aperture to 1.4. I sat in a chair and started clicking away with the remote... This is the one I decided I liked the most SOOC (straight out of camera)
What I like to do is a bit of editing in PSE (Photoshop Elements) and see what I get doing that... sometimes there are actions that I think fit the picture so I'll do a little of that if needed like brightening up the eyes. So, here's the edit from that.
Then the fun begins in Lightroom... I'll do some editing and then I'll walk away and then I'll do some more editing and then walk away and then come back and hopefully it's the way I like it or I'll do some editing. Here's the progression from today's editing.
And here is my final edit for today... never know I may go back and do something else but I really like this one.
