Wonderful! I love to see the artist behind the lens (and what a pretty lens it is).

this picture almost seems to be more about the camera than you, seeing as it is (technically) focused on the camera.. very nice though

Μην είσαι τόσο σίγουρη. Πιστεύω πως με αυτή που έχεις θα περνάς καλύτερα. Εκτός αν έχεις όρεξη να παιδευτείς...γιατί τότε ίσως να αξίζει τον κόπο. Πάντως μην νομίζεις ότι είναι ακριβή

ostanine In reply to NoiteInsana [2006-01-31 21:42:06 +0000 UTC]

She is but i think that such cameras are better for outdoors shooting where your subject is very well lit...otherwise it can be very difficult to focus...
I only worked with film until recently. I've baught a Nikon D70s so I can use it for faster work (no developing negatives & no scanning). I still prefer to use film and I use it more often than digital. My favourite lens broke just before =MissShyly 's shoot though and we worked mostly with digital

Mirror shots tend to be very intriguing because they are shots of us looking at our appearance. And when we look at them we are looking at us looking at us.

I'd love to have a camera like that. One day. First I'll start with a decent tripod. I've tried that precise tripod with that head you have there and loved it.

Hey! I'm back. I’ve missed a lot.
*She* did a fine job.
You always look so serious in all of your self photos...not that there're many .
The background makes your studio look so mysterious! Just like you.

P.S. You have beautiful hands.

Good to be back.

Polly

I dont know you and i just stumbled on your gallery. First impression of this shot - your expression looked scarey. But i love the romance that goes on with the camera and how your hand so gently touches it.

I guess in most of your pictures we need to take our time to appreciate and not use our MTV honed multi beat a second to be transfixed.

ostanine In reply to alfrancis [2005-06-15 23:13:32 +0000 UTC]

I don't mean to look scary...I have been told that when I shoot I usualy have a serious look on my face...and by shooting in the mirror I can see that they were not lying...
You are right about the romance. I love vintage cameras..
As far as taking your time to look at my pictures, I hope that you're right...I think that a photograph should have "something" in order to draw the viewer's attention but it should also keep the viewer there for more than a few seconds...
Thank you very much.

ooo i have an idea for a self portrait for you.

Black and white with clown make-up but with your usual serious expression. I'm serious i think that would be lovely... pleeeasee think about it.

ostanine In reply to alfrancis [2005-06-17 01:26:32 +0000 UTC]

...I am actually thinking about it...
I would have to find someone who can do the make up though...I think that it would be nice in colour too...hmmm.....

This is sexy and all, but if I were you I would have angled the camera down a little more so the audience could see your thighs. I hear they're pretty nice.
