Striped

2.05 pm: I was about to close our blinds when I noticed some interesting looking shadows. I like the effect although I don't look my best after a very short night. Funny how my hair looks curly when it's actually straight.

I uploaded two photos that can be classified as self portraits this week. That won't happen very often if ever again! But the shot symbolises my day quite well - due to circumstances I hardly got to leave the house to enjoy the sunshine.
Not only two self portraits, but both of them themed with stripes as well ;-) Consistancy seems to be in order. Wonderful photo this!

I noticed the effect is even more powerful if I stand away from my laptop. Very interesting. Well spotted and taken.

I like this for a self-portrait. I never think about putting myself in the light I want to photograph, I'm always trying to take what I see. This is nice, and nice to see your face. :-)

@iduna Dank je wel! Het licht viel door de gekleurde bovenlichten op een grote plant en een papieren lamp.

@smallenburg @caatjeg @gijsje Haha, dank jullie wel, en dat terwijl ik zelf vond dat ik nogal moe oogde @caatjeg En het oor viel niet mee, onze oudste heeft een oorontsteking en kreeg een antibioticumkuur mee.

@thebluegnu Thank you, I tried stepping back from my computer as well and you´re right :)

@judithg Thanks! I thought my eyes looked very tired but I will definitely take the compliment :)

@shantwin Thank you, I'm not very comfortable in the spotlights but to me this project needs the occasional self-portrait.

@jodimuli @exposure4u Thank you - I like self portraits with a small twist ;)

@indiannie_jones Thanks! I really like your own self-portraits so this makes me happy :)

@petra @lakruijf @harvey @islawight @bill_d @meadow @scatcat @runawaydoll Thank you all, I found it quite daunting to put up a self-portrait :)

Wat een bizar effect! Gaaf zelfportret, het blijft zo een beetje mysterieus. Het is altijd eng, maar met al die positieve reacties krijg je meer moed!
March 12th, 2011  
Mooi!
March 12th, 2011  
Leuk!
March 12th, 2011

This makes you look so very exotic and you're clearly lovely! Excellent capture and mood.
March 13th, 2011  
Wow, this is awesome, love all the shadows. Very good idea for a selfie, you know I like selfie's with a twist too!
March 13th, 2011  
Now I know where your children get their beautiful eyes. Cool self shot.

@geertje Ja, best eng zo'n zelfportret plaatsen! Ik denk niet dat ik er veel zal maken maar af en toe eentje is wel leuk :)

@zomaareendag @doinja Dank jullie wel! Eindelijk een echt zelfportret in mijn project :)

@sparkle Thanks, I'm actually quite pleased with how this effect worked out :)

@lislee75 Thanks. And yes, I know you like selfies with a twist! Your self-portraits are excellent :)

@flygirl Thanks! Actually my husband and I have similar eyes so it's a guess who they take after eyes-wise :)

@jesase Thanks! Yes, I also thought this was kind of exotic and summery looking, despite it being winter over here :)

March 13th, 2011
