He is doing "Blue Steel" in all of them.I can't pull off "Blue Steel" so I was going for that "Are you quite finished yet? Do you need me to come over and show you how it's done? Your wasting my time" look.
If nothing else I figured the silver sneakers might let everyone off the hook. How can you take anyone wearing silver sneakers serious?
Just incase it wasn't apparent I am a serious photographer, I have the cufflinks to prove it.

Buying a suit to match shoes? That sounds like something I'd do. Camera cuff-links? I can't tell you how much I want some. :-)
Great stuff.

The cufflinks were a gift from bride-to-be for helping her hubby-to-be pick out a suit. They came from a Kenneth Cole outlet store if you have one near you. I don't see them on the online store.
I've been on the lookout for a slim (modern fitting) suit for a while now, but I haven't been able to find one that fit just right. I'm a rather odd size (38L or 40L, with 34W/34L pants) that is especially hard to shop for (I have really long arms combined with a rather slim body). I've come close a couple of times lately, but I just can't pull the trigger unless it's perfect.
Great shot Keith!
The first shot is too centered for me, but I really like the 2nd shot a lot. I may crop out just a "tiny bit" of the gray wall above your head though.

I set up the shot and the lady friend was kind enough to snap it for me [:)]
Canon Rebel XTi Sigma 30mm f/1.4

The 2nd was just me trying a different look with out knowing what I looked like in the VF. I like the symmetry of the divided wall. If I cropped down I think the 3 different thicknesses of wall and floor would be disruptive. But I see where you are coming from.
Keith I love those cufflinks! Very cool [Y] And those shoes...hehe...nice [A] I personally wouldn't wear the typically black shoes myself since it's not my thing..I don't know you that well, but I reckon the same counts for you.
And MNatt, didn't see you for some time around here. Love the shot. Very nice lighting. Good use of a Sigma lens [:P]
However I don't really like the lack of feet and the position of the left arm. It's exactly what I do myself and I don't like that [A]

Thought I should revive this thread, since I'm the new guy around here.
This may not be my "best" self-portait, but at least it's a self-portrait. [H]

Nice Portraits Paul! I especially like the 2nd one.

salazarbrujo - I think you meant to post that pic in the thread about pets...
You look like a cyborg with a bright light emanating from your eye socket. :-)
TY Rich! That was taken with my iSight on my Mac Pro. LOLQuote:

My friend took this after work today & it was the first time she ever used a dslr so I blame all flaws on her! [:P] I was more worried about her dropping my 7d then what I looked like, since it was the first time I ever let anyone use it!

I like the tractor pic better...more character.
I agree w/ Sean. I think the tractor one is great!
Denise
Thanks, that was my favorite too. I used a 580ex on camera with a lumodi Beauty Dish fired by my Micrsync

Shot this last night. I loved the look of this old post office in town. I couldn't resist.

Hi Mark,
The tractor shot is my favorite, it
Hey Sean,
Love the shot and location, as well as the relaxed low angle perspective and composition. I'm aware that you struggled with the reflection behind you, based on your online setup notes, but I would be curious to see this photo with a more subdued version of that reflection, which may provide a more somber look within the context of this setting, but I wouldn't remove it entirely, as I feel it does add something to the shot.

This was shot with my first digital camera (which I got six years ago and kept using until very recently).
