Taking A Photo Of Myself Taking A Photo Of.....

    Day 240 of 365

    Week 32, Assignment 2 for Take A Class With Dave And Dave.

    Self-Portrait With Camera - We've all seen the lazy self-portrait where the photographer points his camera at a mirror and clicks the shutter button. The challenge here is to take a photograph of yourself taking a photograph of yourself...and find a way to make it interesting.

    A photo of myself taking a photo of myself taking a photo of myself taking a, well, you get the picture.

    To make it more interesting, I applied the Droste Effect to the original.

    KatColorado, .Manisha., synecdoche, and 11 other people added this photo to their favorites.

      Wonderful manipulation. I really like the lighting on your face as well as the shallow DOF. Very intriguing picture.

      No problem. Always happy to help. My first one was a bit messy, but you get a feel for it and I just play with the numbers in the code until I like what the preview shows me. Make sure you follow the steps accurately. Something simple like turn off auto preview may not sound like that big of deal, but it makes a difference.
