OK, sorting through some recent pictures and found this (snapped whilst waiting for Mrs88 to step out of the shower ):-



Any other brave souls tried a digital Van Gogh and care to share their efforts? Or do you think that photography is not really a medium that lends itself well to self-portraiture?

Think of the "What do you look like thread" on P&P, but executed with a bit more creative licence (says the man sitting on a toilet).

HA!

Look what Simpo did to me - nearly broke my camera!!!




(Note it must qualify as a "self-portrait" on the basis that it was my D70 used to take the shot - actually it might have been Photoshop that wibbled it.... not solely Simpo!!!)

The fateful spot, where I later plunged a finger into a freshly crimped length of canine cable

Well not exactly 'self'... but Mrs Get took it today, and as my last effort was so rubbish, I thought I'd post.



edited to add... you try exposing for that fur!

Thanks Magnum It was just a grabbed shot which suddenly sprang to life in BW. Bonus point if you know the airport!

Its a dreadful pic but it always makes me laugh. I call it "Pure Gadget Happiness". The first shot with my ML-L3 remote control...
