Worn

by Nigelk

Probably the last shot from this series that I will publish. Taken a while back now, I've only just edited this one. Self portrait taken with natural light through a large window.

I love a bit of humour GIULO57. Creating this series certainly involved a bit of acting. Such a job getting the best out of this crusty old model.

Don't get me started on BREXIT!!!!!

Cheers Malcolm,
I've done it with a club competition in mind. I find images which have an instant impact tend to do quite well. It's a print competition, I'm hoping the print arrives in the post tomorrow to see how it looks.

A perfect demonstration of the Zone System. Alive with myriad greys, a la Ansel Adams at his very best. I'm positive the print will be a wowser. Like (of course).

Brilliant. That's a held back!

If it's not too late, DS are running another discount on their 'fine art prints', including the titanium.

I didn't think to look at the fine art options. I'll see how the standard print looks, I might just treat myself to another titanium print

Great shot Nigel. I can definitely see a hint of Jasper Carrot in the facial expression and around the eyes!

Oozing emotion - even if it was play acting, as you stated.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass

Thank you for all the positive feedback.

Once anyone is in front of a camera there is a little bit of playing the role that goes on. From the most basic "smile for the camera" onward to trying to depict other and deeper emotions within a portrait.

A proper 'in your face' image - full of expression and drama

Thank you, thank you, thank you. It adds strength to my argument with my wife that she is very lucky to see me every day, grit an all.

I wouldn't want to be in the middle of that argument!

I can report that having mounted the print and looking at it over a few days I'm happy with the standard print on Fuji lustre paper. I'll soon find out what the judge thinks
