Self-portrait (isn't for the faint of heart)

[Benny Pedersen]

Warning: beware of naked teat.

A self-portrait using the Canon remote shooting software.
With a reflector in the left hand, and the mouse (computer mouse)
in the other hand, I shot this photo of meself.

Benny,
PS. To make it the background image on Windows Desktop:
Just Right Click the Desktop > Properties > Desktop > (Color: Black)
> Browse > Left Click photo to open > Center > OK.

Benny,

It is a fine self portrait! The lighting is really good - what is the source of light? Does the remote shooting technique allow you to see use your computer's monitor in place of the camera's LCD screen to preview the shot?

I can only imagine my family's reaction if I followed your suggestion of making this my computer's background image. :eek:

The light source was one "Osram L 22W Lumilux Cool White Italy" fluoricent reading lamp, which I use for reading and for my computers background light.

Yes, when the USB cable is connected, the computer's monitor is used instead of the camera's LCD screen. Just start the EOS Utility, then choose "Camera settings/Remote shooting" in the menu.

Julie, as you figured out: Both the computer background image suggestion, and the keyword metadata I used in the "Elements-Village-Gallery image description" was a joke. :D but
it would be interresting to figure out the number of hits / see how many visitors will come because of those keywords :eek: Hmm, on second thought; family or not family - just do it :p

[JulieM]

Thanks for the lighting info - I really like the result. By the way, I like that image of your friend Kwame in your gallery.

I didn't even notice your keywording but now that you mention it, I'm reminded that you have the weirdest sense of humor in the Village! :D:eek:

Thanks. But it would be a disappointment if you had Kwame as your
background image instead of my self portrait :mad:

Benny -

It really it a nice portrait and the lighting is great. As far as using it as my desktop image I think I too will stick with Julie's puppy. :D

Bill

ps to Julie: Quick ... send me an image of your puppy.;)

Nice job on the self portrait Benny, you got the lighting good.
I'll pass on the desk-top background too if you don't mind.
1. My husband would never understand
2. Those eyes would follow me around the room
3. My husband would never understand
4. I'm not sure how good you would look on wide-screen, hehe
5. My husband would never understand

That was understand.

jojo: About your reply in the gallery:
Nice job on the self-portrait Benny and good job on picking the tags, good luck with your research into the hit count.

Thanks - My self portrait has already overtaken hits on photos I uploaded in the beginning of february. The only bad think about those who search google with "small tits, not huge boobs and nipples" is they most likely did not found as expected - anyway, the tags seems to work good :)

Julie did not understand my research and is now gone into the puppy business - never mind as long she didn't put Kwame on her Desktop :rolleyes:

Bill: "I think I too will stick with Julie's puppy"
- "I will stick"... instead of "I think"... maybe convinced me, but after all; its just words...

Benny,
If they search using your tags they deserve everything they get :)
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!
