Penning Photography Daily

I had other self portraits “in the can” for today.

When I saw the soft light, diffused by the bedroom window shades, I had to take just one more.

I don’t spend a ton of my day on these as a rule. I just open my eyes, with my camera in hand and look for opportunities, or lacking that, make my own.

This light reminded me that I have been looking for good window light for portraiture.

I sat on the edge of my bed, facing the light. Figured the aperture, and speed, set the focal length, and turned the camera on me.

I took two shots, the second being better.

My glasses will forever be a challenge for me with reflections, but this turned out ok.

I did a sepia conversion and played with the curve a bit.

It’s actually taking more time writing about this than it did in taking and processing the photo.

Another neutral look. I’ll smile tomorrow, maybe. =)
