Description

f/ 8, 1/50 sec., ISO-160, Sigma 18-200MM F3.5-6.3 lens at 65mm, tripod mounted, camera timer, 06:27 PM, Philadelphia, PA. Self portrait: A sofa up the street from my apartment building. EVERYBODY was moving over the weekend. Never saw so many moving trucks as I did this past Friday. Stuff got tossed like this sofa. I shot it earlier in the day with people walking behind it. I went out later and someone had tossed a comforter and a pillow on it. I decided to shoot with me on the couch. Set the camera up on my tripod across the street and used the camera timer on 10 seconds and waddled across the street and sat down. This is the second of two shots.

Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 1.00, ExposureTime: 1/50 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 160, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 65.00 mm, Model: NIKON D200

I agree. Very creative. I like the composition. The image is very successful. And you made yourself look good to boot. You might get some NY gallery to pay you a lot of money for this piece of conceptual art! Maybe you could even afford better furniture. (Or rather neighbors with better furniture, hah.)
Thanks for sharing and making such an interesting image.
