simmy...
nice self portrait...looks like some gothic rock album cover!
NICE!!!!
btw...how can u compose such great pics when u r the model and also the photog?

self timer + tripod + patience

hahaa....you don't say,....sometimes it can be so frustrating to hit the self timer, go back to position myself infront of the camera, after it snaps the picture, go back and see whether it looks good or not.....i can go on and on repeating those steps untill i capture what i want

and it's very essential to turn on the air cond in your room incase you get sweaty going back and forth, LOLZ

ahaaa...
forgot about self timer simmy...thx for reminding me...
and seriously....ur compo for self portrait...is very well planned...

go go go...shoot more self portraits...
gonna try ur technique on my own too!

why doing all by urself since u have a partner back at home??

should have gotten a nikon then.. wireless remote

haha, have fun !

well then, the picture wouldn't be taken ALL BY MYSELF right? im that sort of person that likes to experience on my own. at home, we do things seperately, he'd be hogging on pc playing online games i'll be taking opportunity to do my things

you're saying a rather decent model of nikon is it? or is it an extra add-on? newayz im happy with what i have now, planning to get a cable release thou

self portraiture is not what i want to do, im just familliarize myself with portraiture shots, might come in handy one day if i have the chance to shoot others

cable release is a must for macro and to an added plus if u're always using a tripod. my shots became much sharper after using one

i think all nikon dslrs support wireless remote/wireless cable release. pretty cool huh

U watch too much death note izzit?

i believe it is very difficult to frame yourself using a tripod and self timer, you must have done a lot of trial and errors...

but the red ink on the apple cannot outstands the read apple...

Lol, i do love that movie, but it's not even as close as haunting as deathnote lar

i used the apple to set up another scene...a rather bloody one, and the paint was all over it, couldnt clean it. And that was the only apple i kept in my fridge LOLz

yea i took possibly about 50-60 frames, only few pics survives, the rest i've deleted.

Another one from the series, converted in PS

Click on picture to see description.

i much prefer this one.

i could be wrong but i think you set your tripod abit too high. eyes looking slightly up. would prefer to see it 'centred' but this is definitely just personal preference

i have this 45 degree fetish, (slightly), cuz im fat and i try to make my face slimmer LOLZ (malu saje)

so i always set my tripod to its maximum height, i think i must try other heights liao, lolz

... you mean jump into the world of selftakes and DSLR camwhoring?
Psst Simmy ... show them your sexy pics-lar, bungkus all the guys' model shoots!

think before you post a comment, anthony

im not too fond by your *world of selftakes and DSLR camwhoring*

respect Simmy, not only can i feel such 'enthusiasm' for taking pictures, but got good knowledge about post-processing also (HDR & PS)! Soon going to overtake the pros here liao...

hmm, all residing on my HDD. Haha. But mostly is covering company events (5fps to cover sport activities is great!! hehe), so not too nice to share them out too publicly (i think)

though i got just *some* in my siggy but some taken with H5 as well la. Wish i have some nice scenery shots like Simmy as well, but no time la... its Saturday today but i might have to stay back in office to maybe past midnight. Seldom see sunlight everyday, can smell abestos only. (unless it's smoke break la)

99% of the girls I know take that for joke, a figure of speech or your everyday regular term (i.e 'let's b**** about it later!' or 'let's camwhore in your BF's car'). I am very open about acceptable terms and my circle of girl friends are circa early teens to late 20s but if you wake up this morning with a mood swing then I am sorry, my sincere appologies to you

Well forgive me if i sounded furious, i believe there are many ppl don't consider self portraiture as a form of photography and they described those as *cam whoring*, and well, i guess i misunderstood your terms, then.

btw, im 22 years old but i have the mind of a 80 year old. So my brain is abit slow.

i would consider camwhoring and self portraiture 2 different things...

lolz, yea me too, like this below can be cam whorish
