This one is done in a more traditional pose. He was a really good sport about it.
I took these at the playground. I was having fun using the equipment as a way to frame the shots.

Week 11: Portraits!
I actually like shooting portraits. Self portraits are a different matter, though. Boy is it hard to get decent shots with a timer! I took a few today and will be working on a few more this week, hopefully. I created the fake depth of field using a gaussian blur, a layer mask, and the gradient tool. The new hair color is not from Gimp... it's from a bottle. :)

Karen,
You my friend, are inspiring me to take another round of shots! I love your self portrait work (and the bottle color suits you very well if I may say) and the downward photo using the playground equipment!
More photos Murph...take more photos!

Really great photos! You did a really amazing job with the self portraits. I especially like the second one. And the new hair color looks great, too!!
Very creative playground shots!
Beautiful,
I like that you brought your kids out to the playground. I too tried to capture my subjects environment to enhance the image. Well done.
Great pictures. It is not easy at all to take a self portrait. I really like the use of the playground. It makes very good framing.. Nice angles. Again great job.
Great job on your photos Karen! I like the self portraits and the new hair color looks nice! I really like the framing in the last photo. The lighting is just perfect! Well done!!
