Chat Thread: Weekend Competition 26th - 28th Feb. 2010 BEST CREATIVE SELF PORTRAIT

[reggy]

Hi all,

This week’s competition is about you, me and them I want to see your best creative self portrait.
Your self portrait must be taken by you and must include some part of you, it doesnt have to have your face in the picture and can be any part of your body "best creative" it can be a shadow, your eyes, your nose, toes, reflection whatever.

It would be great if you could add a short description with your entries of how you achieved your shot.
Along with your description can you please add your exif data, there have been a few requests to see this info as it helps others learn new techniques,this is not a requirement but it will help others.

Rules for the competition can be found HERE.

Good luck everyone!!!

Aaaah! The dreaded self portrait Funny how so many photographers hate to be in their own pics and I am deffo one of those! Got a hectic weekend so might well struggle anyway but will give it a go if I can make time.
If you need help on the poll setting I can supply a PDF of how to do it from Ian (wattig) but can only attach it to a real email address so PM with one if you want it to be looking at. It is very useful.

Good luck on this one everyone and I look forward to seeing you all!
