This seemed to be a weekend of things not working out. First off, the ice was bad enough on Saturday afternoon that I cancelled my trip to Athens. I was not worried about getting there; but getting back, in the dark, with far below freezing temperatures (think more ice), was another matter. I was bummed, but it was simply not worth the risk.
Instead I spent the afternoon talking down the christmas decorations with the kids and wife. As we were taking the decorations off the tree, I looked at the pile of bulbs and thought that it would make for a very cool image that I might be able to use next holiday season. I quickly ran downstairs, grabbed my camera and shot a bunch of stuff with my 50mm 1.4 lens. I wanted colors that would pop with a very shallow depth of field. I got 50% of that.
Below is the final image; But the real picture is below that. I laughed when I saw it on my Mac. Oh well!!
nice! i like the “me” shots lol
Ha really cool self portrait son these colorful ornaments! Nice work!
Great self-portraits, Chris!! Two words – been there!
The shot turned out great, though. Definitely a keeper for next year.
lol. great reflections of yourself though! nice colors.
fantastic! we all need more photos of ourselves
lol! well, that’s an impromptu self portrait session for you then..
That would be, “if I had a penny” Now, if I also had a penny for every time I misspelled a word, I’d be a very, very rich woman by now!
Haha! If a had a penny for all the times I found my reflection where I didn’t want it…
