Selfie

I noticed there were a lot of selfies yesterday so I decided to do one. This is really stepping out for me as I don't like to be photographed. I applied a touch of blur in post because at my age, I look much better slightly out of focus!

Day 17 of my "35 days of 35mm" series (I just noticed I have done 8 days in a row of portraits - I enjoy using the prime lens for portraits - I will be moving on to other subjects starting tomorrow, still using only the prime lens).

It's a wonderful selfie, and very brave too :-)

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Haha! I know what you mean about the blur I also look better like that :)

[Simon]

Great selfie Danny! lovely shot

[Janelle]

Lovely selfie Danny. Too funny about the blur comment, but I think you look fine :) Well done on getting in front of the camera too...

[David]

What an excellent portrait Danny - even more so given it is of yourself! Brave man! Love the blur comment - I must remember to take my specs off when I look in the mirror!

[trude]

very nice selfie....they can be daunting can't they:)

[Peter de Graaff]

The light falling at on your hair gives a nive glow. Your eyes and face seem very kindly

[Cathy Misze]

Nice selfie. I'm with you I do not like my picture taken, that's why I take pics. I like being behind the camera.

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Loving your 35mm series! Fantastic selfie, you have a wonderful smile.

[Tara]

Great job Danny - I'm impressed as I have yet to do an official selfie. I think it's a great shot and I love your lighting.

[fife]

Great selfie!

[Lizzy Bean]

love it! maybe we should designate a selfie day on the 365

[Cathy Donohoue]

Danny you are one good looking man!
And I applaud you for taking the straight on selfie that I can't seem to do. So next time if I add a little blur......
and don't get me started about age. Enjoy your time on the right side of the grass - and I know that you do.

[Sheri]

Way to go!! Very handsome!

[Debbie]

great selfie - I hate being photographed too and would certainly use some photoshop tricks !!!

[8yearson]

Oh what a nice portrait Danny! You look fairly relaxed, despite what you say about selfies to the contrary! I think you should make this your profile picture, well done!

[Sandra]

Great selfie Danny, well done.

[👑 AnaZad]

I like it very much; I suggest you change the one of the profile. Very nice.

[Lyn]

I am SO glad to see a selfie, Denny!! Wonderfully done - I am dreading this part of ONS3!

[Sean O'Neill]

@lyno Do one like mine from yesterday Lyn!

[Sean O'Neill]

Danny, you are one fine figure of a man. Debonair, suave, sophisticated. I bet you have to beat them away with a stick ;)

[Therese]

A really excellent selfie!!! Great shot!!! I had to laugh over the added blur, though!!! :) :)

[Arthur Loosley]

Brave man, Danny. I needed more than a blur, so I grew a forest on my face to hide behind!

[Carole Imes]

Excellent selfie....you did well!

[Alison Tomlin]

Great selfie. As we say in Yorkshire, you look like a right nice bloke!

[Simply Amanda]

Nice selfie, Danny. Great to see you!

[Rashella]

I LOVE it! and the new profile/name addition - you did a great job of capturing light in your eyes- very nice features

[Cindy McFarland]

I haven't done a selfie yet and don't know if I'll be brave enough to do it or not. But, I'm getting pretty desperate now that I only have a few days left in my project, so I may be tempted. I think you have really kind eyes!

[Rob]

Enjoying your 35mm series Danny! Nice selfie.

[Vicki Dixon]

its a great shot!!!!

[Danny G.]

I changed my profile pic to this selfie and also finally figured out how to change my profile name to my actual name - so when you see "Danny G." on your home page instead of "soboy5", you will know it's still me!

[👑 AnaZad]

@soboy5 - I love the new profile pic. And, Uhm, how interesting... I didn't know you could change the name!

[Gabiushka]

Good looking selfie.

[Jessika Jane Gilker]

Fantastic selfie Danny & very good choice as a new profile pic :)

[Frances Klein]

Great looking selfie!

[Robin]

Great selfie and great idea to use the blur (not that I think you need it!)

[Andrew Sutherland]

I have been away for a while and i was wondering who this "Danny G" character was. Now I know :-)
Great selfie...

[Danny G.]

@asutherland1964 Thanks, Andrew and welcome back to 365. This is still me, I just changed my screen name from "soboy5" to "Danny G." and also changed my profile pic to my new selfie. I figured the New Year was a good time to make some changes!
