Self portrait - discovering my new Nikkor lens ;)

I was wearing my grey EOS circle lenses, but changed in GIMP to green color, since I realized that I look awkward in eyecolor other than green... XD

Photo&editing by :iconlilynoelle-m: of course.

Didn't realize it was a self portrait until I read the description.
I thought it was supposed to be Lily Evans. xD

You're really pretty. ^^

You look really pretty Lily. :heart: you gave me so peaceful emotions. Thank you... :hug: i hope i can see you more. :)

And... this one is really a great shot as for me. I liked the colors and where the sharpness is also... I'll nearly think about you just like you are moving gently in this photo. :) Thanks again because of your pretty eyes, your hair, your sweet face shape,... etc... and the feelings they gave me. Take care Lily.

very pretty.
Question though, from a photography aspect.
Did you use the blur tool so that the only focus would be int he corner of did you play with your DoF and
really only ave focus in that one corner?
I like the look it gives off but how did you do it?

Thank you :)

The blur was created while taking a multiply shots of myself (around 5), until it came out the way I wanted it to be.
I placed camera (so it would be very close to my face while taking a picture) and used mannequin's head to focus on. Than used timer, got onto mannequin's head place and helped myself a little bit with a semi AF ;)) I guess it caught a focus on my fringe, since it was closer to the lens. This may sound funny to you, but I'm not a professional photographer, so I usually experiment in a strange ways to achieve the effect I dream of ;)
Also, I'm not a fan of "edited blur"...
The only thing I changed in here is a saturation, to bring out original colors (my desk lamp which I use for photos moved and I didn't realize that before) and my eye color - it came out that I look really bad in grey lenses!

Hope this helped! If you didn't understand something, please let me know, so I can try to describe it in another way :) My Engish skills are not as good as I would wish them to be.

I applaud you for not using editing. I love people who don't. I don't believe in editing very much. I am like you, I will change basic exposure such as brightness, contrast, and saturation but not much else.

by the way, your English is great, I understood everything.

You might not be a professional Photographer but you do have some skills and know how to work your camera pretty good. Nice trick with the AF and using the mannequin's head. I must say it came out very good. :)
