I like it too - nice portrait. I like the blue toning.
I really must have another try at self-portraits myself. My last ones were ghastly though and didn't make it to flickr ;-)
David de Groot said:
Quite intentional Alison ;-) I much prefer to be behind the camera. However, I felt it was time for a new icon and since the shot turned out so well, I figured I might as well upload it.
David de Groot said:
I didn't even frame this one David, just held the camera out at arms length and hoped it was pointing in the right direction ;-)
The blue toning was done "in-camera", it's one of the monochrome modes.

Let it stay, let it stay, let it stay. Christmas is near after all, David, so be a little generous. It's a nice self-portrait and you even got a nice DOF.:o)
David de Groot said:
haha Margot. I looked at it this morning and thought "Why did I post that?" still don't know.

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
David de Groot said:
Thanks Alex, pensive is a good description. :)
Thanks Jill - it's definitely different being on the other side of the camera, but at least I took it so I only have myself to blame. ;-)

You look like you're a million miles away, staring into the distance.

David de Groot said:
Trying not to look too much like a posed shot I'm afraid, which is kinda difficult when you have one arm out steadying the camera. ;-)
Xenedis said:
Work with me here, Dave.
What you meant to say is that you were deeply engrossed in quantum physics at the time, hence the disconnected stare.

Oh yeah.. ummm, I was working out the final details of my Nobel Prize submission... ;-)

It is blue, but it is welcome to our thread :) I really like this portrait - it works: the expression is soft, yet there is this "disconnected state" as stated by Xenedis :P
hope you keep this as your icon, at least for a while :)
Nice to meet you :)
Thanks for sharing this photo in Black&White Self-Portrait with the 24 Hour Thread.

Yeah it's more blue&white, rather than black&white, but still monochromatic :)
I don't take that many self-portraits, so this is about it for now.
It's a neat thread btw, handy to put faces to people :)
