Me taking pictures of myself
Uploaded: November 10, 2006
Well I'm not much of a portrait photographer, but I decided to try something different this one evening late last summer. I brought along my flash to experiment, and found this log that seemed photogenic. I got my light set up and took a few pics, hoping the flash would bring out the texture in the log. It seemed nice, but I thought it would be a good place for an outdoor portrait. I was alone, so I just set the timer and jumped in there myself.
