An Informal Portrait

Is it a self potrait?
Looks kinda mystiriouse with the bars and the tree covering the face.

That's really futuristic looking, I really like it.

The thing I mentally see when looking at that is an intergalactic games arcade.

The handlebars look like old Dance Dance Revolution bars.

Great.

Well, I'll try not to be too nasty, but there are just some points I want to add: First off, don't go off flaunting your age. It does nothing to people except make you look like you are saying "Pity me! I'm a year younger than you, and therefore that's a valid excuse for me not to be any good!". Secondly, try to give a little thought into what you are photographing before you decide to post it anywhere. You obviously paid no attention to elements and composition, and the general camera quality is rather shoddy. Please, if you're going to share artwork with the rest of the world, put a little heart into it.

The camra quality is good, i just took the picture out my window, as i said ill take some close ups outisde.

Rape of quality in 3... 2... 1...

Even more quality rape T-minus 1 second

Why the quality? He was so young!

Hey guys. Awesome club thing here.

Here's my newest picture. Reverse macro of my dog's eye. Exciting, no?

A bit noisy because of the high ISO.

Hope double posting isn't a big deal. Here's a picture of my dog's nose, even more exciting. Taken at the same time as the eye.

I love this. I'm a macro user and this close up the shallow depth of field is put to very good use, it makes it even more surreal.

not my best but...

Hey photographers of NG, I have a question for you. I'm thinking about taking a picture of a man in the bathroom, looking in the mirror. I want to edit it in the darkroom so that the face on the reflection in the mirror is missing. I was thinking about doing this by just putting a slip of paper or something over the reflection's face when I'm using the enlarger. Do you think there is a better/easier way of doing this so it looks natural, but at the same time stands out?

Hopefully you understand what I'm getting at; I can take pictures, but I'm not too good with all the photography terms.

Photoshopping is not an option, and it's in black and white (which helps a lot).

Interesting idea, it would work well with an older man, but if you use a student, try to make them not look like they really are.

With putting a slip of paper over, you have to be carefull, because that would make a noticable white spot, which would probably make the mirror look like a poster or sign :/

I would suggest using a tripod - taking one picture of it with the person in frame and one of just the background, then in the enlarger expose only half of your sheet with the neggitive of the man, and then the other with the neggitive of just the background. If you don't understand I can clarify

That's exactly what I was worrying about, mostly.

I get it, sounds good :) thanks.

The dimensions of this picture are 2048x1536 originally, so it got smushed down quite a bit, so excuse the quality.

I can relate. Last time I went on a photospree was... 2 weeks ago or something. I must've filled the entire card, I only really liked 3 or 4 of them enough to keep.
