LensProToGo 52 Week challenge
Week 4 - Self Portrait

DIY never, ever, goes smooth for me!

I'm new to photography, starting pretty much a week before the LPTG challenge so doing a self portrait was intimidating to say the least.

My 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th ideas had been done by the time I was ready to shoot, so had to felt I needed to push myself in to doing a stylised shot.

I rigged up a 2mx1m board and glued fake tiles, then drilled a hole to mount the shower head pipe behind.

It took a fair number of "dry" shots to get the lighting, and the water projectory right, not to mention the temperature!

The wife thought it was hilarious and watched in anticipation as I set a 10 shot timer and said, that "if I don't get in 10, that's it, screw it!"

As it happens this was the 1st shot and I'm pretty happy with the result with a bit of post to get the feel I wanted.
