This not a selfie thread, this is the place where I would like to see you share your self-portraits.
-
Nice mysterious self-portrait Jakov.

Hmm. My avatar picture should fit concisely with the thread's description then ....
(Nikon D3S, 10 mm f/5.6 OP-Fisheye-Nikkor. An 'impossible' combination, in fact, just like the existence of any living being)
-
Self portrait. Really really far out.

A little bit more documentary style than Bjørn. Today the phone stopped working in the cold, but the little AW 1 keeps on going. Quite impressed by that little thing. It has endured from +40 to -18 degrees celsius, and 6 m below sea level to 900 m above, the last month. High tolerance for lifting the shadow on low ISO as well.
-
In action, always with the little red car close ....

It's obvious this gentleman is a talented photographer :)
-
Erik, great shot and great expression! Is that an elevator shot? I am always tempted to take self portraits in mirrored elevators.
-
Yes that's an elevator at work; Clocking in ;)
This was great fun,,, ;D

I suppose selfies fall under self-portraits but self-portraits cannot be considered selfies :)

"Portrait" has connotations of strong attention to technical and artistic issues.
"Selfie" has connotations of being casual, relaxed, and, importantly, of the photographer holding the camera.
I think it is useful to draw this distinction, but others may disagree.

Not a selfie, but a self-portrait :)
Location: South Africa

I intended this as a self portrait but just as I pressed the shutter I heard a crack and I had been turned into a Lego man 8)

Hans dont worry, no sad

I'm not quite sure if this counts, since I can't remember who actually took it, probably my son, but it's a self portrait at least in the sense that I'm in it. Taken a few years ago. The camera is a Nikon F, and the lens, as one can see, is a reversed enlarger with a T mount on the lens board, shooting through a half condenser lens. The resulting macro singlet of approximately 200 millimeters and F2.2 gave pretty interesting effects. The chromatic aberration was radical, but it could be stopped down a lot with construction paper waterhouse stops in the negative carrier.
-
If it's a selfie, you gotta shoot it yourself, right? This one was a challenge, shot on my 65th birthday. 8 stitched verticals, D300, Nikkor 55mm f3.5. The leftmost image I shot by tripping the shutter delay and running into the shot like an idiot, being careful not to fall over the cliff. The resulting file is about 15k pixels wide. Makes a great print. Death Valley National Park.

Every time I see it, I get a little sad.
My 85mm f1,4. The most neglected lens on my camera shelf.
Fortunately Kristina likes it and asks me to bring it along every once in a while, so I do get to play with it every now and then. And when I do, the results are generally pleasing. But still, when I pack my bag, I never seem to find space for it.

Nice Portrait. Because you have the 85/1.4 and know it's qualities it's easy to be taken away by other or newly acquired lenses and 'forgetting' the 85/1.4. And it is also difficult to choose when you have a very good 55mm and 105mm.
-
Buddy, the 85/1.4 AF-D is the best lens I have ever held in my hands.
Your self-portrait proves this point!
Love and hugs, Jakov
-
John, Jakov, I agree. The 85mm f1,4 is an amazing lens, and it is a lens with a very own, unique character. But so are the 55mm f1,2 Nikkor-S and the 105mm f2,5 Nikkor-P.
I think I should really stick that 85mm on my camera and not take it off before I am convinced that I can pick it up, take the money shot, and put it back in the bag again. At the moment, I am more accustomed to the rendering of the 55mm or 105mm. With either of those I know I can make the shot work at any given moment. The reason why the 85mm does not do the same for me, is that I hardly ever got a chance to use it. Kristina had it glued to her D800 until she bought the Sigma 135mm f1,8, and now the 85mm spends more time on the shelf then it deserves.

wiiiiiillllddddd
the 1.4/85 are great lenses. Too heavy for everyday use and if I add weight I'd rather take the 1.4/105E
for everyday use the 2.0 and 1.8 Nikkors of 85 FL are as good and the 85G of f/1.8 is exceptional, see also Mingh Thein if you do not trust my verdict.
-
Frank, I tried the 85mm f1,8G and kind of liked it. It has some strong points over the 85 f1,4D (no blue CA in hogh contrast situeations) but some flaws, very similar to the ones the 105 f2,8G has (green and magenta lateral CA) which is more difficult to correct in my experience.
The 85 f1,8G is very sharp, even wide open, and given how nice the 85 f1,4D renders, I kind of see that as unwanted behaviour. I prefer the hot-spot of sharpness the 85 f1,4D gives me most of the times. Maybe it's such a specialty lens, that I hardly find use for it.

Testing the 'new' Infrared en UV-sensitive Fuji IR Pro camera with the 20mm AF lens
-
Interesting - which Fuji model is this? The 20 Nikkor AF doesn't do UV but should be OK for IR.
(I have the original S3Pro UVIR, plus an S5Pro modified to broad-band usage)
-
This is the Fuji IS Pro which is based on the Fuji S5 Pro (and Nikon D200)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinePix_IS_Pro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinePix_IS_Pro)
The advantage is that I know by now how to process the Fuji S5 RAF- raw files ... And how to handle this 'unique' camera...
But now in the learning-mode to create and process IR and UV files...
-
Seriously Wow!
-
Congratulations -- the Fuji S5Pro has plenty of "soul" so likely the IS version has as well :D
You might even pull off the occasional visible-light shot with it when combing a UV/IR cut filter and BG-38 or similar (to restore some of the colour balance).
As it draws on an original D200, it handles most F-mount lenses with ease. You need to trick modern E lenses away from their wide open state if stopping down is required, though.
-
Thanks Fons and Birna.
Thanks for the tips Birna, it needs exploring a whole new world of filters I guess ;) (and step-up-step-down rings)
-
Just ask for tips on which lenses do suit a given purpose.
A very well documented excellent lens for the camera is 35-135mm f/3.5-4.5 Zoom-Nikkor. Either the AIS or AF version can be used. They have 62mm filter threads and fetch comfortably low prices on the second-hand market. Another excellent lens for this camera is the 18-140/3.5-5.6 AFS Nikkor G. The latter takes 67mm filters.
Nikon O56 orange or a 590nm filter makes shooting emulated false-colour IR very easy with these Fuji models.
If there are more questions it is better to open a new thread on the Fuji UV/IR capable cameras?

One of my favorite self-portraits. Taken with the Micro-Nikkor AF 105mm f/2.8D on my Nikon D700. There is an interesting story behind this shot. I had just finished watching a headshot video workshop by Peter Hurley and i wanted desperately to try all the new things i learned. My gf wasn't in the mood for taking some shots so i adjusted the camera on a tripod, connected the remote trigger so i can trigger the shutter from a distance and relied on the brilliant autofocus system of D700. I played the model for the first (and last maybe) time in my life trying to do my best in posing and direct myself. I used my balcony as a studio and natural diffuced light.

It's a screen capture. A clue: The color profile listing in the EXIF on the jpeg mentions 'NEC PA 271', which is my desktop monitor.

I had already made an adapter for my 55mm f/1.2 CRT-Nikkor to the Z cameras, now found it could do double duty by providing the mount for a Kyoei 35mm f/3.5 lens which already had been converted to 42mm focusing mount. A quick test with my full-spectrum Z6 shooting the darkness outside indicated the lens did focus to infinity and also showed how IR can be reflected off window panes. As we have triple glazing, lots of doubled lines as well in this not entirely planned "selfie".

For those unfamiliar with my part of the US, the town of Whitehall, NY just over the line from me claims to be a haunt of Sasquatch (AKA Bigfoot). I was out behind the barn hunting for rusty resources a while ago, and spotted this strange creature. Like all proper Sasquatches, it confounds precise focus.
-
Self portrait with a smartphone, a camera I always carry
I don’t like selfies but in this case I found the light very interesting and unusual, light from a kind of fluorescence source
-
In order to avoid cracking the lens, I let the camera be between me and my mirror-reflected image. The flash created a third eye...
Was trying out a Zeiss Distagon 50 from a Hasselblad, no connection between camera and lens apertures, manual mode, had to correct heavily in PS.
I don't have any selfies, this is as far as I will go...

My supply is quickly running out and then I'm really stuck inside.
Towards the end of the current C-19 induced isolation, my hair will be very long indeed. All hair dresser's are shut down long ago and may not open for business for another month. Or longer.

Birna in pensive mode amongst the daily chores. My hair picks up any colour temperature differential apparently, so attempts under office lighting tend to be a disaster.

Birna can you explain how you get this image!
I cannot understand what the “black holes” are
-
"Black holes" are marks in the snow. Late spring snow thaws so any impressed structure gets enlarged. Likely hoof marks made by European elk ('moose') Alces alces on the snow-covered river. This is early April thus the snow would be pretty rotten by then.
I have an inkling about what I did on that occasion and any one probably can do the same. Photography after all is just playing with light onto a scene.

Jakov, how I would have loved to have an AW-1 back in 198x when I took this shot...the Nikonos was more than a little disappointing.
-
The Nikonos IV was prone to leakage hence I quickly abandoned it in favour of the V. I still have a couple of Nikonos V bodies and all the lenses, including the fabulous 15mm f/2.8 UW-Nikkor, somewhere in my cupboards. Been a while since last used though, which is a pity. Having a digital version of the Nikonos capable of using those Nikonos optics would really be something :) The AW1 is very good, but I don't entirely trust their longevity. One out of my 3 AW1 bodies is already malfunctioning. Another had a small leak that fortunately didn't incapacitate the camera as I detected it early on and was able to dry out the camera. Working in fresh water confers advantages -- such incidents in sea water would be bad.

I purchased the IV as an all-weather camera for sailing, snorkelling, surf and snow. However, 1500km into a 10,000km road trip my 6month old camera's LED's went on holiday too. I was not impressed as the end point of that trip was the Great Barrier Reef >:( >:( The cloud over the IV further darkened when the repair guy casually mentioned that "...we've seen quite a few of these with this problem...". Mine never flooded, probably because I never took it below 3m underwater ;D

Working in fresh water confers advantages -- such incidents in sea water would be bad.
I had and still have my Nikonos IV that survived a very large number of free diving and scuba diving sessions. The casket type main seal was often blamed on leaks, but it was not a problem with proper care. Both the Nikonos IV and V is sensitive to leaks at the shutter speed dial if it is allowed to go too long without servicing. Those leaks are usually just a drop now and then, which if used in salt water will slowly corrode the film advance/shutter mechanism if gone unnoticed until irreversible damage occurs. I caught it just in time when opened my IV and cleaned and re-greased those o-rings for the first time. My dive buddy flooded Nikonos V 3 times. I helped salvage it the first time and later bought it from him. The second flooding of his replacement V (did not trust the salvaged one for work) was eventually blamed on a leaky Ikelite strobe connector. Unfortunately it was not discovered that it was the connector when I salvaged it during marine field work in Svalbard, and it flooded again on the next dive after being revived.
Birna, I am curious what kind of malfunction you are seeing in one of your AW1s and where the leak in one of your other AW1s occurred?
I bet we are going to see some high end UW-housings for Z-bodies adapted to the Nikonos 15mm. Some adaptations already exists for the Nikonos RS lenses.
-
Sorry saw your post a bit late, Øivind.
The 11-27.5 UW kit zoom malfunctioned on one of the AW1 bodies, causing the camera to lock up. I detected some moisture inside which probably led to the issue. After drying out the lens and camera, and relubricate the O-ring, the camera did commence operation, but with that particular lens it shut down again once the zoom exceed ~15mm setting. More drying out and discarding the lens as faulty made the camera operative (with other 1 Series Nikkors). I restricted the camera to terrestrial use from here on and apparently it delivers the goods again.
The second camera again showed a leak through the main O-ring and started to lock up intermittently. I again dried it and relubricated and it seems fine with the 10/2.8 UW lens, but not the replacement 11-27.5 UW. Oh well. Anyway I now have three AW1, one which is unreliable most of the time, one which usually works, and finally, the third that for the present can be relied upon. My standing stock of 11-27.5 kit UW lenses have shrunk to 2, plus 1 junked lens used for experimential purposes and a fourth lens that I don't trust so only use above water.
I should add that some of these issues might have been my own fault, directly or indirectly, as with my recent very long hair, tiny shredded strands easily can interfere with the mounts and seals on the AW1 bodies. However I now keep one AW1 permanently with its 11-27.5 kit lenbs and the other with the 10/2.8 exclusively. Thus no swapping of lenses occur for either body. I do relubricate the seals before the "new" season trying very carefully to avoid leakage issues.
-
Thanks for the details, Birna. It is surprising that it was the main o-ring that failed as this type of piston seals is known to be very reliable, provided that tolerances are followed. However the initial o-ring on my AW1 had a fault at the seam that could potentially have caused a leak. I discovered it during my initial inspection and had it replaced by Nikon. The o-rings at the zoom mechanism on the other hand are very thin and user non-serviceable. (I know because Nikon initially sent med the wrong replacement o-rings). If they dry out and the lens is zoomed to quickly there could be potential for it to warp. After warranty service of my 11-27.5mm, there was a big leak there apparently caused by an incorrect installation of those o-rings, but the water did not make it to the mount. After that I have dedicated the replacement 11-27.5mm to land use and very short dips, and the 10mm/Olympus fisheye converter combo for underwater use. If I use my AW1 in salt water, I clean and lubricate the o-ring before first use, and then after each use if possible by soaking in fresh water followed by drying and relubrication. Salt crystals left behind when remaining salt water dries can easily cause leaks.
I do see many comments in the DPR 1 series forum about "aperture sickness" syndrome on regular CX lenses .

I do see many comments in the DPR 1 series forum about "aperture sickness" syndrome on regular CX lenses .
I have other CX lenses with the "aperture" issue, yes. Amongst them a nice, but unreliable, 10-100mm, and two samples of 10-30mm. A pity they designed these lenses in the manner they did, as optically speaking the CX series can be surprisingly good.
-
Yes, the AW 11-27.5mm is surprisingly good, especially considering the waterproof construction and the new price that was somewhere around $100 as I recall.
-
If you are fast maybe you can get a repair of the 10-30.
https://www.nikonimgsupport.com/eu/BV_article?articleNo=000006465&sitecode=en_CY&ctry=CY&lang=en_GB
-
To day I collected my 10-30 after a free service. What I call good service, as it was serviced fir them same fault 5 yers ago.
So if you have one of these lenses with the aperture error, get it serviced.

Thank you all very much for your best wishes, I am recovering well, thank goodness, another month and I am hoping I will be back to my normal, resilient (tough? lol) self!
Birna, I hope very much we can meet up again, I so enjoyed our trip to the airport, searching for the elusive orchid, then that pondweed.
All I can do us urge you all to be very careful to avoid the virus. I have been very lucky, my treatment started immediately the diagnosis was made, I believe that gave me a better chance, together with an amazing team of nurses.

It is good to see you on the mend, Robert.

Staying at home a lot more, and doing more cooking than ever, the Nikon 1 AW1 becomes essential when your hands are covered with flour... Just rinse it and you're a go!
A selfie with myself being reflected from a red wine decanter, while preparing pizzoccheri (a type of pasta). There is evidence of flour on the decanter -from the frequent pouring of wine while rolling the dough.

In the elevator
What to do when you're a photography addict, you are alone in an elevator, and you have a camera at your neck? You take a selfie in the mirror! Trying to guess the framing in the mirror...
Photo 1: Blew framing completely, zoom was @180mm, angle was too high...
Photo 2: @70mm. Looks like the Subcomandante Marcos, but at least the framing is OK.

Not intended as a selfie but happened anyway - in two ways. Shadow, which I tired to minimize by holding the camera (Z9) as high as I could (used the flip out screen to compose), and reflection. One can see my outstretched arms in the reflection. I chose the frame with the least interference from the person walking behind me. The subject (building) is one of our tourist sites - notice the yellow sign. One is supposed to be able to read it upon waking up after being passed out on the sidewalk! Shot with the 8-15mm lens.

Two fascinating images Erik that capture a lot of your joi de vivre (though Birna maybe has the edge on visibility!)
The earlier one got me guessing if you were sat next to the edge, or wearing a drysuit & in the water.
The second one has got me guessing whether the people in your office is interested in marine engineering, or the biological content of the seas there.
Either way, your office has a more interesting view than any I've worked in, though maybe requires better sea legs from time to time than I ever needed ;)
