For some reasons I will have an early night. I wanted to do a lot of stuff but after waking up at 4 am this morning it might be a good thing to go to bed early. Being an early bird can be really nice: the light in the morning is much more beautiful than in the evening but it does not make sense to wake up when it is dark outside and when it will take some more hours before the sun rise...
This picture is a couple of weeks old and after posting some of this series I wasn't sure if I want to post another one. But now I am tired enough to be brave ;-).
I hope you will have a great weekend and please make sure you don't do any nonsense :-)

Aus diversen Gründen wird mein Abend heute viel kürzer als geplant und derzeit finde ich das mehr als gut. Bin heute morgen mal wieder um 4Uhr wach geworden. Manchmal ist es ja ganz klasse ein Frühaufsteher zu sein: das morgendliche Licht kann unheimlich schön sein und für mich ist jeder Sonnenaufgang tausend Mal schöner als der Sonnenuntergang. Dumm ist es nur, wenn es draußen noch dunkel ist und die Helligkeit dann auch noch Stunden auf sich warten lässt. Also werde ich bald ins Bett fallen und drauf hoffen, dass ich heute Nacht mal etwas mehr schlafen werde.
Das Bild ist nun auch schon ein paar Wochen alt und mal wieder hat es Ewigkeiten gedauert, bis ich mich entschieden habe, es nun doch noch reinzusetzen.
Hab' ein schönes Wochenende und mach' mir ja keinen Dummsinn :-)

Very nice portrait! Took a while until I could get the whole picture, the gloves didnt make sense first, and the elbows kind of dissapeared. But still you got nice details in the face, great!

Very strong image. The overexposure really helps the impact of the look.
oh nice. eine handschuh-forsetzung :) (mit passendem titel wenn ich das den richtig verstanden haben sollte)
haben sich sowohl waerme- als auch fototechnisch schon gelohnt was?
I really like the overexposure here! Did you blow out the background in Photoshop, or did you find some white background to place yourself in front of?
excellent shot - very striking with it over exposed and shot in b&w. well posed!

Eh, that's why I a, so fond of sunset light (because I can never wake up in time to se the sunrise one ;-) ). Except of course when I am out in an observing run, in which case I am up all night to look a the stars and the sunrise is my sunset. And yes, you are right, that light is special.
I liked the other photos of this series, and I like this one too. For somebody that doesn't like to be in front of the camera you have a strong "camera presence". This is even more difficult to achieve in self portraits, where one can only guess the result of the shot. The high key light is very appropriate with the pose and dress... I like how your face is frames by the gloves ans your arms disappear in the background. It is a strong portrait.

na dazu habe ich schon alles gesagt!
grossartig!

zu hell & zu fest überbelichtet. ausserdem nicht wirklich scharf.
die komposition allerdings ist recht fett

Looks like you have a lot on your mind ;)...Nice b&w I love the white background.
Posted by Lee at January 28, 2006 04:44 AM
I really like the pictures you appear in since you are so beautiful! The contrast between black and white its so cool.
Posted by Panke at January 28, 2006 07:27 AM
Das Bild gibt Dir etwas diva-haftes - aber es gefällt mir sehr, gerade wegen der Überbelichtung und Unschärfe ;) Viva la diva!

Irgendwie fällt es schwer, es NICHT zu loben ;-) Also mache ichs eben.
btw. sollte dein Arbeitgeber keine adäquate Beschäftigung für dich haben, dann model doch einfach...

Erinnert mich an eine Gottesanbeterin. Grusel :-)

Damn. I love the use of negative space here. This shot is insanely good.

A real gem. I can't really add to what's already been said above.

Love your self portraits.

Another great SP! You really shouldn't worry about posting these, they are great (and the model is pretty hot too!)

Terrific! way out there and cool ;-)

Fatal...
Jetzt willst du's aber wissen, ja? ;-)
Deine darstellerischen Fähigkeiten solltest du weiter entwickeln. Einfach klasse!

Eindringlich und intensiv, dieser Blick.
Durch das SW wirkt es so kühl, das passt.
