Self Portraits

This was our first assignment for my Digital Media class.  We basically just had to take like a 100 portrait shots either using the self timer on our camera or using reflections.  Then we choose our 3 favorite:


I took this picture in the woods by my house.  I sacrificed myself to take these shots in the woods because I got over a dozen mosquito bites.  Anyways, I didn't put much thought into this picture, I just placed it on the ground and froze until the timer took the picture. However, This is my favorite image.  The lighting, the composition, the elements. I give it 4 stars. 






I took this picture in the park in the woods by my house. I'm impressed with my composition and the mysterious feel to it all.  And a low depth of field (sharpened foreground, blurred background) always makes an image look more interesting in my opinion.







I took this image in the lounge of my building.  triple bonus here.  I love the piano, I love taking pictures, and I love food.  I loved how I caught the reflection.  I thought of it as the piano seemed more interesting than the food even though I was hungry.  The chairs on the left add to the piece even though some find it distracting, I find it appealing.

I love the picture of you walking in the leaves. Showing part of the person is much more intersting than than the whole person.
