[14/365] Self-Portrait

I’d only taken four other pictures all day long (of my dinner) and I didn’t like how any of them came out while reviewing them here at the computer, so I decided to try a self-portrait. (Actually I tried it about 7 or 8 times.)

This photo was taken in a dark room by monitor light and no flash. I had the camera set up on the desk, but it couldn’t have gotten much further away from me. Times like these are the few I wish I had a lens other than 50mm!

I did some selective color here in post-processing.

Edit: I took some time to play with it and did the eyes better. I also like the colorization better here too. Here’s the first version of this one in large format.

I saved the PSD so I could play with the hue and make my eyes different colors. I made them pink for my own amusement.
