This is great! I was just thinking about doing some sort of fun, pretty and/or sexy self portrait for my husband as a gift, but haven't gotten nervy enough to put myself in front of the camera!!! #962495Jessica McCollam December 09, 2004

Your compliments on my photo mean a lot, Len and Josh. THANKS guys! #964178Graham Jones December 10, 2004
Lovely shot Susana and very well presented through photoshop. So how many shots before you got the one you liked? Were you using the timer or a remote? Sorry about the questions but I've tried this once and felt quite silly running from the camera to pose and back again :-)...........oh and on behalf of the shy ones I have to say that the subject is very attractive!regards, Graham #964946
Susana Ms Heide December 10, 2004
Thanks for the encouraging lines, Graham! To answer your questions, I actually didn't take many shots. I had a few pics left on a film and needed to fill them up somehow. I think I took 5 or so. I used the timer and yes, I felt quite silly. But I made sure no one was around to see it :o) #965350Randy L. Morgan December 18, 2004

Thanks Kevin and Max for your kind words! This is from a few years ago when I was barely starting to THINK about getting serious with photography :o) So this was basically a "test". #7411170Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
