We, The Photographers......Self Portaits..a Who's Who on CR

[rpt]

I thought I would post one of me working.....

Question: What camera is that?

Ahhhhh....RPT..I see by your avatar that you have interest in such things.. If the print I posted was large enough you could see the hammer-&-sickle pin that is over the jacket pocket, by the snap and that would have given you a hint. The camera is a Russian Lubitel 166 Twin-Lens Reflex Camera. Only the best!!! LOL!

I miss mine! Sentimental reasons... The the bottom lens had come loose and the gear on it would at times get disconnected from the gear on the top lens then I would have to wind up the roll, place a tracing paper on the film plane manually adjust the focus and pop the lens back in place. Then unwind the roll back to the unexposed frame! Great fun (not!). However I had many years of fun shooting with it.

Thanks. That pic took me back to the 60s!

Me!

Very authentic. However, where are the tablets? In this day and age it needs to be an iPad and a Galaxy Pad
I think a reshoot is in order with them held over your head

For me, paddling and photography are a way of life.... now if I could only figure out a way to get paid to do this.....

Is that the same creek where you took the panorama with the boat? The boat seems to be the same one...

there's always money to be had from tourists, paddle them up a stream and back and give them a photo of them in that pose, could be worth some scratch...

Different creek.... The Panorama was shot on Constance Creek, about 30K NW of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The portrait was shot on Stevens Creek, about 30K south of Ottawa. The panorama canoe is a 1950 Chestnut Bob's Special and the portrait canoe is a 1990 Lapointe. My remote control for the portait picture (a REAL photographer) won't let me have any other color of canoe than red because red cedar/canvas canoes photograph best.... there are 4 in the fleet

Ah! Thanks. As you can tell, I know squat about boats

Ha! It took me a few seconds to figure out what I was looking at! Pretty neat.

WOW...it took me quite a bit longer than a few seconds to figure that out...I looked at it last night ...and thought (what are they talking about??????...but the thought kept niggling at me.....)......it sooooo looks like a crushed can of coke. Of course the Coca Cola Marketing Dept. has been training my mind to see the can for about 58years...so it is understandable. Fascinating how my trained, mental bias swayed my visual perception....very interesting.
Quite marvelous!

Here is my first selfie using my new 6D and the Wi-Fi functionality. I used an iPad to control it.

P.S. The ability to review photos wirelessly from the 6D is very cool, too.

I think a front portrait is more impressive

Do you have trouble breathing? Your right turbinate exhibits mild edema.

My first post. I took advantage of a recent optometry appointment to capture some unique pupil dilation.

The ladies tell me that I remind them of some famous actor. I can't remember his name, and I don't see the resemblance, either.
