Alternate shot for today's topic - Portrait. Getting ready for my holiday in Devon. My sister said I was cheeting by hiding my face in my other selfie of today!! So this is the best of a bad lot - I feel such a fool posing for myself!! I converted it to B&W and used high key as I thought my lines didn't show as much!! LOL!!
@lucypics Thanks all you are very kind!! I have just realised I have just come in from walking Finlay in this shot and I haven't even brushed my hair!! Mind you that's me really - dog walking and photography!! LOL!!
@mittens@yonnie@kittikat@quietpurplehaze@salza@davidgnc Thank you all so much for your great comments - too kind!! Hazel - I am not sure what high key is but it was one of the options in Nik Silver efex Pro which is the software I use to convert to B&W.
I did high key too and faded just about everything till all you could see was my outline - at first! Then I got more confident. This is lovely and I like the mood you have chosen- its more of a decision sort!
@maggiemae@shelldunn Thanks for stopping by Maggiemae and Michelle!! Hopefully my confdence will grow and also the ability to focus better as its always a bit hit and miss when I try a selfie. Yes Devon is beautiful and we are told the weather is getting warmer. I think it may be wet and warm!! So sun cream? - I don't think so!! LOL!!
