Description


~ ~ ~ SELF PORTRAIT ~ ~ ~

I had fun making this SP. I did a 180* split on it and it gave me a wider face and bigger nose so I played with some more filters until I came up with this (and others) that I liked.

Magic DDR Done with Smart Photo Editor.

Filters used: 180* SPLIT, Stark Brilliance, Hyper Real, Lomo, and Vignette

Settings: F 2.8, 1/60

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/60 seconds, Flash: did not fire, auto mode, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 4.60 mm, Model: Canon PowerShot SD800 IS
