Week 10 outtakes - PhotoCamel

Athena · 03-13-2008

B&W Happiness
I know, I know - the shadow from my hair is going over my eye - right through the catchlight even. But actually I sort of like that.

Freckles - left them in for fun.
This was very literally an accident. I had the shutter release in one hand and while I was moving my messy hair out of my face I accidentally pressed the button. I sort of like it though.

You are correct on both accounts. Can't (and won't) argue with your logic.

Lyle A · 03-13-2008

I don't see anything wrong with freckles. Natural beauty can't be hidden. Great shots indeed.

patterfr · 03-13-2008

Athena,
I really like the first one and agree that the shadow doesn't bother me. As for the second, that really captures your "natural beauty" and doesn't look over-processed. It's "you." Your eyes are wel lit, and it's fantastic. Love the freckles !!!!

notsotechie · 03-13-2008

Well done Athena. Their both Lovley.
Now I shall go eat my hunble pie.
Cheers.

harryd · 03-13-2008

I like the first one the most, shame I cant see the freckles in it too

.

Johnny Perkka · 03-13-2008

Yes, the shadow is a key element in the first.. Like it a lot..

Remember that talk when you said there is a hint of gypsy in your looks.. Well, looking at the second photo, I would say there is a hint of hawaian (how do you spell that?) in your looks..

You are the letter o, in the word Wow!

gaopa2 · 03-13-2008

Athena, I really like them both.... the shadows in both accent the photos. You are a beautiful young lady and VERY photogenic! Always enjoy seeing your photos.

Hard not to

.

How do you trigger the shutter for self portraits? I just bought an inexpensive Phottix wireless remote, and it's way cool.

How about trying my "fly away hair removal" on your first outtake? Let's see how good a tutor I am.

Athena · 03-13-2008

Hi Frank, I am using a very short wired shutter release (the canon one). I want one of those remotes! I was going to buy one from GI (as well as a wireless flash trigger), and wanted to use my paypal account, but Paypal won't let me ship to a non-US address with my US paypal account. What a pain.

I thought of you when I posted this picture because of the flyaway hairs.

I should fix them, but time is short today. I did however try it out on a different pic I was editting yesterday. Going to take some practice I think to be able to do it without leaving marks...

Yay - Athena logic works (sometimes).

Thank you patterfr - when I get this freckle edits thing down I'll try to share it with you. It's far more difficult to leave them in and correct other things than to just blast them away. I'm starting to prefer that little bit of realism though, ya know?

Thanks notsotechie. But why humble pie?

Hmmm - I might be able to turn a layer or two off so that you could...

Thanks Bill! Hawaiian heh? Maybe could be emulated with some flowers in my hair and a lai or something. Don't hold your breath for the grass skirt though.

Thank you goapa2 - I wish you were right about the photogenic part. It's hard work to get a decent picture of me - really.

transcape5 · 03-13-2008

You are so modest it's not even funny.

Seriously, you're doing a great job...and the model definitely helps!

notsotechie · 03-14-2008

If I took a picture of me I would crak the lens.hee hee
why the humble pie their is no way I'll ever achive you'r level of skills.
Cheers

oldugly · 03-14-2008

Athena, Thanks to the restrictions on you, the locals have no idea what a great photographer they have in their midst. That is almost a tragedy. I have seen some great faces in SEA and would love to see what you would have done with them.

Johnny Perkka · 03-15-2008

Hmm, that chick you found in FlickR is really challenging you/giving you source of inspiration:

on her self-portaiture set there are 60 somewhat different portaits:

Self Portraiture - a photoset on Flickr

Now all you got to do is, invite her to Camel

Athena · 03-15-2008

I only just saw her photos today - they are nice, heh?

I was thinking of firing her - but I guess on your recommendation I'll hang onto her.

My level of skill has plenty of room to grow.

There are definitely beautiful faces here. But then there are beautiful faces everywhere - all around us.

Johnny Perkka · 03-15-2008

I'd like to say, nothing compared 2 yours.. But she is pretty good too.. But everything does not have to be a competition..

Not4wood · 03-15-2008

Athena,

I had heard that depending on what camera you have, you can use the all freq TV Remote controls available in a lot of Stores. I dont have Canon so I dont know about them, but I did hear that my Nikon D80 can be used on the TV Remotes if I make it for an RCA TV.

I will try and see If I can Search it out or Google for it about Canon and the TV Remotes.

yes, I agree. I don't feel I am competing with her at all. I also hope you don't.

Interesting. I guess it will depend on how the remotes are sending their signals. Let me know what you learn.
