This was done this morning just to be sure I had something for my get pushed challenge from Megan Ludgate @ludgate to do a self-portrait. Using the crudest of instruments -- the Photo Booth app on my Mac. I cropped and cloned out the junky cluttered background and added blur on ribbet.com -- kind of like the old time movie effect of putting vaseline on the lense to hide the wrinkles on the aging leading lady. Ha ha ha! In this case also to mitigate the effect of cropping what was already a very grainy snap -- all sort of blotchy unnatural colors on my face and shoulder.
I had an idea of how to kill two birds with one stone -- my get pushed challenges 158 (I had to offer a rain check on that one) and the current 159. But sadly, did not find the time to accomplish that. I may do something else involving self portraiture today or tomorrow, but don't hold your breath.
Hey hey! At least it's something... more than what I have in response to your challenge. Busy week!
It looks like we're get pushed partners again this week! Haha. I'm okay with that, if you are. We could continue on the same challenges we gave each other last week (I know I could use more time to develop an idea), or give each other new challenges. I'm okay with either way! What do you think?
@ludgate Let's just continue with the same ones. That will save us both coming up with another challenge for the other and give me more time to produce something more thought out than this.
Hi Mary,
It looks as if your my Get Pushed partner for this week. This is my first attempt at being pushed, so I'm very nervous, but looking forward to the challenge.
I've just a look through your album and you have some lovely photos in here. I haven't notice too many night time shots, so for this week, I'd like you to take a Night Photo using a slow shutter speed.
@deborah63 Thanks, Debbie. I'll head out at night with my tripod to see what I can coax out of the camera. It doesn't have a tremendous range for shutter speed so I'll try at least for semi-slow. :-)

I just posed my @fiveplustwo selfie today: http://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2015-08-14
Next week's theme is 'paint', if you're looking for some inspiration, you can join us!
