Pure and sweet looking like the white summer solstice roses, but beware, she's got thorns too.
I finally found a couple old sets of pictures I have been looking for for ages! Apparently the only place I have stored them was my iPhone library, but at least they are a decent size and not some Instagram versions. I only have the jpeg versions, would have love to have these ins RAW and see what I could have done with editing these again. But oh well, no use crying over spilled milk, and I still like these.
These were shot back in the summer of 2016, when I was getting back to photography. My camera was dusting away in the corner for a good year at least before I found my passion for photography again. If I remember correctly, this was the time when I really started to pay more attention to everything in terms of technicality, composition and well, myself.
I shot quite a fair amount of self portraits during the spring and summer in 2016, but then when loosing light in the winter, and having that old camera, I lost interest again. I got the camera I use now, the Nikon D7200 in the spring of 2017, just before joining Steemit. That was when I really got back into photography because I didn't feel like my gear was holding me back anymore. I did update my lenses this spring, but still use the 35mm Nikkor too.
I'm trying to dig out some more of those old self portraits, and I know I have shared some of them already on my early days in here. I find it quite interesting to see what I have done, and where I am now.
Me by me, shot with my old Nikon D60 and Nikkor 35mm f/1.8.
I'm so glad you found these!
I tried to pick a favorite for the comment... couldn't do it.
(#3 and 5 did get the most viewing time before I gave up trying! ;) )
I don't even know how you did #3 yourself. What ever you did, it was worth it!
You really gave some thought to these, did ya not? 😅 I'm glad you like them! For #3 I put the tripod in it's highest position and tilted it downwards ☺️
These are beautiful, you definitely have always had a talent for portrait photography!
Thank you so much! 🤗 Makes the compliment all the more valuable when coming from a professional photographer I admire!
I love the one where you are looking over your shoulder!
It's my favourite too and I'm so bummed it's wayyyy out of focus! But thank you! :)
You're welcome! I kind of like that it's out of focus - makes for a more artistic shot IMHO :)
Haha, yeah, that is what I try to tell myself too when I use pictures out of focus 😝
I was looking for you inside those flowers and the white background clothing, you blended too much like chameleons 😂😂😂😂 I swear it's a nice shoot, should I ask who was fortunate enough to shoot this?
Thank god, or the sun, that I'm a lot more tanned this summer so I don't blend in to the white roses! :D
"Me by me" part means that these are shot and modelled by me, self portraits, like most of my work is.
Hmmmm wanna look at my CV? I can shoot pretty well you might want to employ me I will take 5 dollars to shoot that pretty body 😂😂😂😂😂
I love that last one. You are beautiful.
How lucky to have a bush full of roses - it needed to be a backdrop. They don't grow well where I live. Roses are exotic here like tropical flowers are elsewhere.
Thank you sweetie🤗
I don't know why but I imagined you live somewhere south from me, but where in the world?
I'm in the USA, coast of Florida.
I don’t know what kind of climate roses need, but you got the warmth at least!
You have a beautiful body and a beautiful face. if you do not mind accepting my advice, try to get a little closer so that not just anyone can enjoy seeing your body.
apologize if my suggestion interrupts you
I don't like advice and I don't even understand what you are saying.
Candid Eve makes an appearance.
Don't tell me what you're thinking about
If it doesn't make sense
Just tell her sorry, it was a stupid reply
Truth is your only defense
It seems like you have rhymes for every situation. That is incredible. I couldn't even do this in lithuanian. Were you always in good terms with poetry or is this a recent talent?
Dabbled with it periodically, but enjoy the interaction here, so thought I would give it a go again. I like the challenge of making something on the spot. It exercises my lobes.

Hi.
were they taken at the summer solstice?
that's why those photos were very good, the girl is as beautiful as the flowers that accompany her.
beautiful and sublime photos were very well taken.
Greetings from Venezuela
Very good those pictures, but I liked the 3, that position and if you have done it alone is complicated, the light and whiteness of the roses are a perfect combination. 👍🏻
Villi ruusu!
Yes I am 😁
