Well, not a self portrait...but a portrait of my sweetheart. Is there a portrait thread out there?

There is one; I don't pay much attention, as I'm not much on photographing the humans. Check this out:

The typical ring flash self-shot...

Relatively new participating member after lurking in reviews for a couple years. Like many of you I was usually on the other side of the camera. But I went through a goofy self-portrait phase a couple Halloweens ago and got it out of my system but was using the camera and software built into my Galaxy Tablet.

PS: I need to do another self-portrait. The other day I was at my desk wearing my newsboy cap, a plaid flannel shirt and some kind of outer garment AND I hadn’t shaved in a few days. A coworker told me I look like Charlie Farquarson from his Hee Haw days.

This one is pretty grainy, old expired Kodak 200 Gold that had been run through security x-ray scans at least 10 times...

I'm a bit camera shy, so I have to try and sneak up on myself.

I liked the colored light so I figured I would do my 2019 selfie today.
I put a similar color drape over the umbrella in front. and of course a 1:1 format for todays standards.

Me playing around with the DA14...selfie on purpose

First shots with the K1 mII and the 77mm I'd just gotten in the mail. Here I'm testing why the heck I would need wifi in my camera. So...this is why! I always had a bit of trouble with focus using a remote trigger but not anymore.

For selfies here's what you do. Use Live View mode, use a small infra-red wireless remote (I use this one), set the focus to 'Face Detection' (which is actually Eye Detection but that's another story for another day), hit the AF button first (keep an ear out for the AF confirmation button) then hit the shutter button. Works flawlessly every time.

I really like it. I first purchased it for Milky Way shots but recently I have been rediscovering it. Here are a couple samples:
