Critique Welcomed Forum Members: Self Portrait In Reflection

Bus Grime.

I'm not sure why I didn't reply to this one before - I like a lot Chris.

Me and my better half

Question is, who is framed? (pun that doesn't quite work - sorry!)

 

[Gianluca Drago]

I like this game.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I love these, Gianluca! All with a sense of humour. The last is a classic, though I'd be tempted to crop-out the left side. What do you think?

 

[Gianluca Drago]

Le me disagree with you. The empty side gives life to the other side for me.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Good. I am pleased you defend your work!

 

[Julian Tanase]

Interesting approach and really thought of photos, Gianluca. What camera, pls?

 

[Chris Bennett]

A lovely set, @Gianluca Drago!

A Chris in the hand is worth two in the bush, eh?

First and third: Nikon Coolpix P80. Second and fourth: Nikon Coolpix SQ.

Definitely a nice job! I also like the mirrored lettering that casually says “Venom” for “Money” (Stanley Kubrick would have loved it).

Thank you Gianluca. I'm really glad you spotted that! I often shoot in or close to this location and it has caused a wry smile a few times now.

Sacked off again whilst out snapping some slightly stale photos.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I like it!

My first selfie .... 100 years ago when I was in high school.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I like it. Almost like a watch advert from the 80s. Or Nikon.

Good composition, with the arms and the bold stare out to the observer.

 

[Gary Ayala]

Thank you Rob MacKillop. Funny you mentioned the watch. My girlfriend's mother owned a jewelry store and I was able to obtain/purchase a Croton digital watch back around 1970. Gold with a blank red face. When one presses the crown button, tiny led number would pop up. Often I had to cup my hand around the face to read the time. The watch was certainly a novelty and it received a lot of attention during its 'time'. (Sometime people would grab my wrist in inquire "What is that?".

As this is a photo site ... here's a photo of my girlfriend back then.

Hasselblad 500 C/M w/ Zeiss 80mm Planar - Tri-X

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Do you still have your Blad, Gary?

Do you still have your Blad, Gary?

Sadly no. A few years ago I did start to play around with a Fujifilm GX 680III.

 

[Keith Drysdale]

Little fatty (Sony A3000 and kit lens)

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not the most flattering selfie, Keith, but that makes a welcome change. Very good.
