Nice one Paul. You look very fashionable with the hat.

Did you add the scratches and stains in the post or are they on the film? How did you "scan" it?

 

[Paul Abbott]

Thanks, Cem.
I always tend to wear a hat, Trilby, Pork Pie and Cloth Caps etc.

The marks were done in PP, kind of ironic really... The mirror in the lift was kind of stained, smudged and grotty too. It was scanned in at 18MB, at a Lab near me.
If anyone can suggest a decent film scanner on here, i'd appreciate that. Pricewise I want to spend no more than £300.

Thanks.

Paul, cool classic shot, I like the PP too.

Mark, I like the radical approach of your portrait, not scary at all, now, just in case, I wouldn't see it in reverse...

[Paul Abbott]

Hey Mark, I like your self-portrait. You have a great look about ya'...You remind me of Michael Gambon...

 

[Charlotte Thompson]

With a little more of a grumpy look and messier hair maybe then I shall mention "striking beauty" to your portrait-

Charlotte-

 

[Mark Hampton]

Charlotte - I can't be that grumpy. to many good things are in my life.. and i have to have hair cuts - the joys of a office job !

Paul - M Gambon - man are you tripping ! more like gandalf (without the hair)

Ruben - the closer you look the less distinct things are - seems to hold true in physics.

Cem - lol - i will disturb your dreams !

Two very different and interesting way to make self-portrait.
The ancient and the ultra-modern.
The hidden face and the exposed face.

Well done.

 

[fahim mohammed]

Paul, me like..simple, effective sprinkled with a bit of dashing film looks!

Best.

I absolutely love this shot. Using film you've captured a great 'raw' and gritty look which looks great!
