And, another self portrait from me...
Well, what can I say? I achieved a genuine smile in a self portrait! That would be thanks to Maya strutting back & forth posing for the camera even though the camera wasn't pointed at her. Man, she was hammin' it up! If I hadn't just spent time getting myself decent & setting up the tripod, I would have been thrilled to see her strutting about. (Why won't she do that for me when I DO want to take photos of her?)
Anyway, here's my newest self portrait. I kinda like this one... :-)

I really like this self portrait! Love how you posed yourself and great smile. TFS
Lovely shot and great tones in your conversion (as usual)
How have I missed your blog all this time? All your photos just took my breath away..they're stunning! And I love your self-portrait. Can I be you when I grow up? :)
Great self portrait! Nice conversion.
Very sassy, and totally awesome. I love this Amy!
WOW that is absolutely awesome. Love it
Where have you been hiding? This is my first visit to your blog, and I'm blown away. You have some serious talent, girl!!!!
Wow, fantastic! Great lighting and conversion. You did a super job at capturing yourself!!
Wow, it's great. I think it makes the viewer "feel" happy/spunky by looking at it. I like pictures that evoke emotions. Good job.
And btw, I love the conversions that you have, how did you achieve them??? They're georgous.
Great self portrait ... your dotted headband adds the perfect touch - without it the picture would have felt very different!
This is a beautiful shot! Very natural looking - like someone just called your name and you looked back. Gorgeous!
Absolutely ADORABLE!!!! What were your settings for this? I would LOVE to do "studio style portraits" with natural light. Send info if you can! Thanks
Love the lighting!
Beautiful! Great job with this self-portrait!
Just stopped in to check out your blog today and spent way more time than I planned to -- I looked at all your pictures and have to say I really love your style! You have such great photos here. I really enjoyed looking at them. You have such great focus and dof on your portraits - is that the 85mm? Oh and I love your self-portrait today; you did a great job with it adn I love the conversion. TFS
Thanks so much, everyone!
cristina4k - The conversion is skeefe's b&w conversion. I really, really love it & use it ALL the time.
Life's Little Pleasures - Thanks so much. I love natural light! With this one, I was standing with my back to a dark room, and there was an outside door wide open on MY right hand side. Though it looks like there is a dark backdrop behind me, it's acually just a dark room. :) I used spot metering for this, and had my 4yo daughter stand in for me where I wanted to be placed. Set up the shot & then used the self timer. Hope that helps some.
Jodi - I do use the 85 1.8 a lot, but I also use the 50 1.8 occassionally. We recently purchased the Tamron 28-75 2.8, as well. But, this particular shot was with the 85. That's probably the one I use the most. I just LOVE depth of field (sometimes I think I may overdo it!)
You are beautiful. I love this picture! Great job!!
Wowzers! Beautiful! Absolutely LOVE the conversion! Fantastic job :)
LOVE it amy! Such a fun self portrait! Beautiful conversion!
