[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
For tonight, I just wanted to share this portrait of mine that I took myself with the tripod. I don't normally like to post my own photos but I wanted to share this photo for the sake of technique I used.

Okay here is what I did: This is a single photo, No PP, Set the shutter speed to 10 seconds and chose a black background, than I was still at one place for half the time, than moved slowly and again still at another place for the rest of the time.

this works better if the background is completely black and also if you wear black clothes, (this was'nt true my case). I know I should try this shot again, but I don't get motivated to take my own photos that easily so I will have to be content with this for a while.

Any idea about what else can be done to make better photos with this technique?

Wow! You truly get imaginative for taking this self portrait Sarju. The set up is amazing. I don't think there's any way to improve on this. Very well done, and I'm very pleased to meet you this way.

hey Sarju! Cool self portrait! Very cool that you did not need to do this with PP. I would play some some different colored lights. :) might be cool! Great job. JP

Interesting idea and nice result, Sarju !
Even more interesting when one reads your note.
What about your contribution to the challenge : reflected self-portraits ?
