self-portrait 2009, originally uploaded by frankieboy180.

I wanted to take a self-portrait today and stumbled upon an idea. Yes, wash that surprised look away, I get an idea now and then. Anyway, I was outside in my backyard with Rocco and saw my reflection in a window. I thought it would be a cool idea if I took a self-portrait of my reflection. I went inside, closed a blind in my kitchen, then came back out to experiment. I cropped and applied a few presets I have been playing around with and here is the finished product. I like the hard, edgy look.

If you find this idea interesting, try it and comment back with a link to your pic; i’d love to see them.

Enjoy
