Awesome! Just one thing, maybe a little less satuation and more graininess for the rubix cube - then its retro ;D

Feels like a slight difference of colour-scheme between the cube and you, but that's just something with the focus, I guess.

Love it! I adore how much you work with your hands. It's great.

I've never actually finished wunna those. I've seen people do it in less than two minutes and it frustrates me.
Cool concept, good picture.

lucky-april [2010-04-29 16:58:54 +0000 UTC]

I think your hands/wrists look slightly odd partly due to the perspective (hands much closer to camera than face) as well as the crop.
Great set up nonetheless!

If both your hands are in the shot...what were you pressing the remote with?!

JeanFan In reply to lucky-april [2010-04-29 17:26:40 +0000 UTC]

I used a self timer with the remote. So my remote triggered a two second timer which leaves me enough time to drop the remote and pose

Nice. I need to do a few more self portraits soon - I've just got a camera that allows me to use my remote again!

VeniVidiWiki [2010-04-27 12:19:42 +0000 UTC]

Awesome picture, I might be able to tell you why your wrist looks weird. Could it be because the picture is cut right at where it bends? I know many pictures look weird if you cut the picture just at or close to the joints.

Just a thought. But it's still awesome!

I like your expression.

And the rubix cube does look a little weird. Looks photoshopped.

leoEye [2010-04-25 14:45:59 +0000 UTC]

great idea

but I wonder wether the hands are not in focus, it doesn't fits!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

JeanFan In reply to leoEye [2010-04-25 16:03:22 +0000 UTC]

The hands aren't in focus due to the shallow DOF from the wide aperture,etc.

Hmm... I somehow wish your hands could be more in focus. But this is pretty cool looking.

JeanFan In reply to duhproductions [2010-04-25 16:04:28 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I agree but I was already at fairly slow shutter speed and ISO 1600 so I didn't want to make the aperture any smaller.
