New Portrait for Social Media - [Updated]
[Update: I have chosen... based on feedback, I needed a little more of a smile. And I'm glad for it, because I'm usually not as serious as I was in the pictures below anyways! Check out the About page to see the final picture.]
Last night I glanced at my old portrait I was using for most of my social media purposes (and on this site). I noticed three things: 1) It's more than five years old now, 2) I wear glasses now... pretty much all day every day, and 3) I don't think I even have the original file, so making a larger copy of it is out of the question.
So I decided to take some pictures. Grabbed the D90, aimed a flash at the far wall, and stood in a corner in front of the large white wall, setting the 50mm to AF with the remote control. After about 40 frames in two outfits (really, two shirts... who am I kidding?), I picked the two photos below:
What do you think? If not one of these, I do have a few with a smile... or at least a half-smile. I can, if there is some sort of public outcry over the above pictures, throw one of those in for consideration as well. This picture would be pasted all over my Facebook profile, my Twitter account, and pretty much all the other places my picture is posted.
Just pick either number 1 or number 2 in a comment on this posting. Or reply to @geerlingguy on Twitter.
