Re: Self-Portriats (my friends, this is a challenge)
Depraved can be a compliment. I think most of us here would like to think we're depraved. Raycav was just nuts. A nutty probable stalker who liked to write unspeakable slasher "porn". But not to worry, we banned his ass. There are still nutty people on this forum, but in a harmless way. He was the only person I would have actually considered dangerous.Ghost Rider wrote:Raycav was just one depraved little bunny.

Hrmm, only pic I've got that's specifically a self-portrait that I've photographed (or at least photoshopped) is this one that I made for Icewind Dale II with a BG2 style, back about 9 months ago just to add some personalized flair to my party (I barely played those sort of games for more than an hour before putting together a custom portrait for everyone in the group, even taking portraits from other games if I needed to fit the style).
It's been heavily recolored, hue/sat changed, brightness/contrast tweaked, airbrushed, and whatnot.

To expound; Some of the best photographs I've ever taken were highly off-centre, that is, the individuals or subjects weren't actually striking a pose but just acting natural. The results are rather purposefully haphazard and often very interesting to look at. Of course, most of them are of scaredy-cat people sprinting out of shady corners of spooky old buildings and the odd shadow that refuses to stay still.

Certainly not a worthy photo contest shot, but I like being an attention whore.
@ Utsanomiko
That's really great work! Looks exactly like those character portraits in Baldur's Gate.

You just described a lot of techniqual stuff without even meaning to. A lot of times a picture that's subject isn't dead centre is way better than if it were. A professional photographer who has its focus dead centre normally plays with the picture to make it interesting.Lagmonster wrote:To expound; Some of the best photographs I've ever taken were highly off-centre, that is, the individuals or subjects weren't actually striking a pose but just acting natural.

In short: Center is boring.
Also, photos shouldn't look horribly staged, while it's normal to strike a pose it shouldn't be like "OH LOOK ME! I'M POSING" it should be "I just happened to be this beautiful all the time"
Oberleutnant: Don't sell yourself short! That's an awesome shot. Compostion is good, plenty of negative space, interesting subject matter. You get an A from me. w00ts for you.
