Eyes are said to be 'the windows of the soul,' and so I guess this makes me feel a bit vunerable - what will others see in my eyes? At least I'm being honest - but really I'm ok with this, else I wouldn't be doing this self photography at all.
This week has been different in that I've been busy with other stuff and so I think this has dulled my enthusiasm and creativeness somewhat. That said I feel I have still achieved and are learning all the time, which is the object of all this after-all!
What do you think?
My next photo shoot added several really nice photos to my collection but most capture my face rather than my eyes, so I've given you two variations here.
I tried to get more creative with this next one. My opportunity for the right light in this situation meant only a window of about 10 minutes, otherwise I had sun in my glasses or not enough light. So this was worked on over two days until I finally got what I was after!
I think it's quite querky.
I'm looking forward to when I can be behind the camera, photographing someone else.
I find the hardest part in self portraiture is getting the focus right.
This next one evolved into a studio look, using the flowers as a prop to give full focus to the eyes. I have used a soft focus to enhance this photo.
REFLECTIONS:
When 'life happens,' go with the flow!
Being a photographer isn't glamourous, most of the time it's creative effort.
I'm proud to have achieved this six week collection of photos.

Your final shot is my favourite as the eye goes straight to your eyes, which is the object of the exercise.
