In the dark... by frappa77

In the dark...

Fernando @fernandocrespo pushed me to take a self-portrait in low key...

I have taken this picture in my living room using a brown-black wall unit as a blackground and my mobile phone as a light... ;)
@fernandocrespo
This is my second attempt to your challenge... I had to be very creative to realize it! ;)
I wanted to use my camera in the manual mode, but I didn't manage! :(
Thank you for this "challenging challenge"! :)

Beautiful. I am your get pushed partner for this week.
I love Rome and visited the city 3 times already.

How about:
1 Some place to visit in Rome not so well known to visitors? or
2 Night scene of Rome. or
3 A view of the hospital where you work?
Do enjoy!

Nice to meet you Sylvia!
I'm in Trento at the moment, a city in the north of Italy, and I'll be back in Rome on Friday, but I'll try to do my best to answer to one of your challenges!
First of all, I want to thank you for the strong experience you share through your pictures... I have understood that you are living a very special moment and, even if I don't know how much it counts for you, I want to assure you my prayers for you and your hubby...
This is my challenge to you: to take a self-portrait... Let my know if it's ok!
A big hug!

Very very low key!! Interesting the way we see your arms but are left with mystery about the rest.

Brilliant! Now following

I like the perspective of this self portrait a lot, but I would like to see a bit higher contrast between the dark and lighter parts.

A great pov!

An entirely different look against black - fantastic!

Hi, I am your get pushed partner for the week. I am not sure if you did send me a challenge? Things is a little bit rough at this stage and I might have missed it. Sorry for asking.

This was my answer to you (it is written some line above):

@frappa77 Francesca Thanks for the good wishes. Thanks for the challenge. I checked your challenge on my last photo and not on your last photo. Thanks for the challenge. I will try my best. I hate photos of myself and selfies is out! Lets see what I can do with this challenge. Thanks. We did look at some photos taken in Rome today. The good old days. Do enjoy your weekend.

@sdutoit
Feel free to interpret my challenge in any way you like... it can be a blurred image or a scan and processing of an old picture or whatever you think can give me an idea of you! My thoughts are with you...

Thanks a lot, your comments make me really happy and give me a strong "push" to continue to practice and experiment!
@taffy @romeheather
It was so difficult for me to find the right source of light and to select the area to enlight... :(
I made sooooooo many attempts... finally I decided for this shot because I liked the sense of "seen and not seen" in it... ;)
But I would have liked a better lighting... any suggestion is really really welcomed!
