Low Key Selfie

My get pushed challenge from Oksana Vejus @oksana - "The assignment for you is Low-key portrait."
This is my final attempt!
@oksana my final attempt!

Great shot. Perfectly done.

Well done! I know you don't like doing them so this was a huge challenge for you. You captured a lot of character with this lighting- a lot of emotion too.

@olivetreeann I guess I should have attempted a smile! I have 3 different light sources here. This low key stuff is not for sissies!

Smiles are nice, but I think low keys tend to be more serious. Hi five for doing a selfie.

Very nice indeed. I am your get-pushed partner this coming week. Boy you have a lot of pictures. Wonderful pictures, too. I am challenging you to take a action picture where the subject is in focus as you follow it and the background blurs (like following a moving car). I had fun with this a couple of weeks ago and didn't see any in yours, but I could be wrong.

congrats Sally on a job very well done - OMG to do a hard challenge like that AND a selfie on top - you should get a special prize :) Nice to see your pretty face.

@salza oh there are times when I run and hide too

@salza Well, here's an idea IF and when there's a next time. Put yourself in a favorite environment- a favorite chair, sitting at a table, a situation where you can control the light or there is naturally low light- a fence by the road just a minute or two beyond the golden hour. If you're in a place that relaxes you, it will be easy to give a full smile, or even a gentle one. It might also make for a more relaxed pose. Just an idea- not an assignment!

A great esuly. to stand and say... here I am.. I stand strong is a great gift of the soul

Love all the light and shadows, Would a smile even slightly so change the spirit of the pose? This is lovely! Fav!

@joansmor Joan I have only ever tried this with my mutts. I shall hopefully get out and about during the week and try some shots. Am I correct in assuming it is a panning shot you are talking about?
May 4th, 2014  
Great low key, I really like how the hair is highlighted with the light. So this is you? Great to meet you Sally!
May 4th, 2014  
Very cool low key selfie! :)

Great portrait Sally,

Hello Sally, it's lovely to meet you. It's nice to put a face to a name. I'm not as brave as you although my other half @shepherdman has started to sneak photos of me onto 365, but he won't let me put one of him on!

@salza Yes, I couldn't think of the word this morning. I suffer from sometimers. LOL That's what a few of us call it.
