Self Portrait

[MarkV]

Rob I would add a "Self Portrait" if this was not a family friendly site.

Nice photography work.

A self portrait of the man I admire the most, my father.

cool pic rob,
i'm assuming #4 is a walking stick of sorts?
but what are the 2nd from the right?

i'd actually share the skates, work boots, sandals, and
dressier shoes with ya.. but throw in waterski and snow ski
bindings to boot. (no pun intended)


nicely done

Thanks Dutch. Yes, the stick is a walking stick of sorts, also works as a monopod for the camera. 2nd from right are my cycling shoes.

Sold my waterski a while back and haven't had ski boots out for a couple of years now. Probably should dust those things off someday.

johndeere4300, good choice of color! Especially on this St. Pats day.

Sigarms, cool shot, nice looking fish.

Everyone else, keep those photos coming!

Some of you know I like to play with the camera as much as I do the tractor.

Cool!

But... More camera setup details SLR? Lens?

Roadie Shoes! Mine have cleats on the bottom.

Thanks Robert. A lot of details actually, which made it that much more fun for me. One of the things I succeeded in was shooting on a white background. Never done that before and I had a workshop the other week where they talked about exposure in great detail so I came away with some inspiration. Camera details: Canon 30D w/ 24-70 f2.8L. Manual exposure and custom white balance. Metered the white, set to +2 with aperture of f22 to ensure enough depth of field. All done in my garage with natural light, white seamless background and white tileboard for the base. Was a lot of fun. Got it all set up and let my oldest son be the triggerman.

Roadie Shoes! Mine have cleats on the bottom.

Yes, smoothies. My mountain bike still has clips/straps for tennis shoe convenience. Nice enough to ride to work today, love that!

Rob, how often do you skate?
do you play year-round?

Not often anymore Dutch. I did skate some this year, with the kids. I gave up league play a couple years ago as life just got too crazy. And before you ask, it's been a lot of years since I've used the crampons! The rest get frequent use!

So, where are everyone else's photos?
