~Sam~ said:I'm starting to think that T's going to post her first photo at 11.59 tonight!
Hurry up... It's nearly time for the 🎯 and I wanna see the inception photo
Is this payback from the what is it thread lol!!??!!!:razz:
Martyn D said:Now look....I have no idea what you mean, I've simply taken you off ignore just to have a look at the pic
At this rate, your photo will be of a calendar set at Jan 1st 2014!
Come on T, I can't get my photos up until I'm home again on Thursday.
Right, what's going on here then? No shot yet T?
Well my biggest fear is this, a self portrait, i am like alot, afraid to be in front of the camera, behind it is where i feel most happiest... A couple of years ago i got convinced to do just a 7 day SP and on that first day of shooting i have never felt so scared and i got myself into such a stress.... for what? it's just a picture i was told.. no different to meeting with mates or people seeing you out and about,.... but it is different, well to me it is....
Anyway the thing is i love portrait work but haven't really a clue, i don't have anything but my camera and practising these last couple of days with indoor has nearly sent me totally crazy and made me realise just how much i need to learn.... especially indoor shooting with no off cam flash... next purchase methinks...
My plan for this 365 is..... i don't know.... i may decide to include a few themes, but to start will be random until i have got into the habit of taking and posting each day...
But i think this will also help by trying to get over the self portrait issue, i would love to think on a day when it's wet and yukky i have a self portrait to fall back on.. maybe see exactly what i can do......
So this.... here underneath is me T or Trace... but not TRACIE that makes me feel like i've been told off and i will have to hunt you down and kick butt!.... OK!!!...
Oh also, i like the darker style too, emotional shots that kind of thing so that is my aim to practice.... and master a bit of editing technique as well as i only have limited knowledge of LR and PS
Let me know what you would change, where i've gone wrong..... i know a few of these already but this was one of the slightly better ones...
Incase you are wondering.... i'm still rambling because hopefully by the time you get here you will all be snoring and dribbling like fools and wont even see the photo!..... haha cunning plan Ms. T

I'd call that a great start Tracie
Oh, dear, Martyn!
......it's a bl**dy lovely one of you I love it - you have the dark, emotional style there Can see the fear and worry about what others would think of you but....... you will never have to worry hun It is beautiful WELL DONE!!!! xx
Trace you should be bloody proud of that photo "Beautiful"
Love the Monochrome !!
Going to enjoy this thread this year
Very nice T..... I like it.... a good start.....
Well done T. Great pose. Beautiful mono.. Great start to the year!
Very strong day one, T. I like it and see that dark, emotional side of photography you mentioned. Does the tat have a special meaning for you? It does seem to draw the eye somewhat. [Please don't tell me I just misinterpreted a watermark! ]
P.S. If you call me Samantha in your reply, I will kill you quicker!!
Well well well....that's a bit impressive
I'd call that a great start Tracie
Excellent start T, I don't think I would even attempt to do a shot like this.
Like the lighting especially.
Phil
Oh, dear, Martyn!
Ssshhhh....It may go unnoticed
Well that's an exceptional start to the challenge T. I now also know where all the crazies were last night well I was working, it was in your thread
Great start to your 365 Trace
You have wore your heart on your sleeve with this one, so much respect for that too
The photograph itself is quality, lovely contrasty image, great lighting and composition. Good use of negative space too.
Lets see your smile in the next self portrait? Iain
Thank you Iain... i did didn't i.. tho i think if i'm going to do something i really try and put my all into it, this tested me, being so scared and awkward infront of the cam..... i will try and smile tho that is the part i hate most so maybe a big glass of wine for that one
Your nerves will be in tatters by the end of this 365 if you put yourself through the mill each time you post
Seriously though Trace, a great start to your 365, you've set the bar high with this one. Give you and your emotions a break now, settle into the challenge and enjoy
Having said that, I know in the 52 challenge I do enjoy the photographs where people add a personal touch to the images they post. I know its the internet and people should still be careful not to give too much away about themselves but I feel that generally these can be stronger images for that reason.
I am teetotal so it must be the time of year making me all philosophical not alcohol
Oh and honestly... i actually don't drink that often to be honest!
..aren't you down to one glass a week... :nuts:
whipspeed said:Excellent start Trace and from the perspective of another person who hates to be in front of the camera, very brave! It's a great portrait and a really good mono.
Look forward to more of your shots.
