Show yourself to the community!

No, don't post nude pics of yerself! Sheesh! Shocked


Here's a venue for those who are willing, to post pictures
of themselves, so that we may see a face to go with the name
you use around here.

Feel free to be creative with your self-pics, as well.
Put yourself in various poses or locations, play with light & shadow, etc...

Just have fun!

Self portrait, end of this summer. Delta 100. Helios 44 (either 2.8 or 4) Getting the focus right was a hassle. I had to set the self timer and basically run. Sorry for the beard - work had ended early and my girlfriend was not around, so I ceased to have to be 'presentable.' So I went for the extremely lazy route.



Or this one (taken by gf):


Who wants to venture a guess at the lens (in the photo)?

Shocked Dang! I wish you have great time in your beautiful city! Chris, don't forget to ask Orio to try some lenses like 135mm f2 Contax Wink

Chris has already left - he's a Nikon user so unfortunately he could not use any of my lenses Sad But I have tried his Voigtlaender Apo-Lanthar 90mm on my Canon and WOW what a lense!! Shocked

P.S. the photo was taken by my sister-in-law Kikki with my Canon 5DMkII and Distagon 1.4/35
