[Theme] Show us your self-portraits

[Birna Rørslett]

This is a more expressive self portrait using whatever means I had at my disposal at the time. I'm still very pleased with this image.

D200 (IR), Zoom-Nikkor 80-200mm f/4, snowy river.

Please indulge me if I have posted this or simlar earlier.

Birna, I like it a lot, very experimental

This is a great expression!  I haven't seen anything similar before, so no need to worry.

Birna can you explain how you get this image!
I cannot understand what the “black holes” are

[Birna Rørslett]

"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.

The other day not necessarily meant as a selfie thats what you get shooting windows

This is what 11 years can do to you. I didn't believe this was possible till it actually happened.

"Fake news" by Nikon Z5 (PrimaLuce) & 28-45mm f/4.5 Zoom-Nikkor.

To the naked eye, my leather skirt is black and my leopard-patterned tights are blue and black.  And my sweater (intruding at the lower edge) is bright red.

Birna, you are sexy as ever.
Hans_S, this photo is very similar to my attempts, although i used the AW-1.
Fons, playing with reflections.
Paco, showing off his D5, looks great on you!

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.

[Birna Rørslett]

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.
