Different Perspectives - September Selfies

September's {in the picture} challenge was to gain a New Perspective when approaching our self portraits.

For me, a New Perspective meant shooting from a different vantage point -
8.3 Miles

Trying something different on my post processing -
Hover
edited with Snapseed and PicFx

And something completely different for me - a naked shoulder - coupled with some serious post processing - (I was going for that "300 Movie", gritty, look)
Drops

I haven't been as consistent with my selfies (or photography in general) this month. I am looking to refocus in the new month.

Of course, it's never too late to start your own selfie project. Last October, I managed to take 30 or so selfies - almost one per day. To get the info on this project, check out Christy's website.

  1. I really like all of these. That first one is striking with its ant's-eye-view and missing head. The processing on the second suits the subject well, and I love the sharp focus on the water drops in the third one. Great expression of the theme!
