Self-Portrait

Just thought I'd share this with you. It's my favoritest self portrait ever. I experimented with a lot of stuff on this one. I think one of the reasons I like it so much is because I wasn't expecting to come out this well. I was bored one day and just started taking pictures of myself. I'm actually right in front of my window--in the original you could see the blinds. In fact, I think I'll show you the original!

Cool, huh?

Things

I just printed my very first enlargement! I printed up this picture as a 16x24. It looks really good. The resolution isn't perfect; according to several different websites, the largest decent sized picture my camera should be able to print up is an 8x10. I think, however, that once this is framed and all, the casual observer (read: anyone other than my picky little self...), won't really notice the fuzziness.

And one thing about choosing your photo if you win the 'contest'...The resolution will be best on all pictures that you see after December '07. The ones before that were taken with a 5 megapixel camera, and therefore do best in a 5x7 or smaller. The only difference will be the sharpness of the picture when seen up close.

P.S. This is my one hundreth post!
