It would be easy to forget that I'm a wannabe filmmaker, since I haven't actually written about it here for quite some time now. But this camera was purchased to make movies with. And the point of the 365 day photo blog was to sharpen my shooting skills and improve my composition, all with an eye towards making movies.
So today's picture is a nod in that direction. Me as the action hero. Or villain. Whatever.
The photo came out pretty well but the taking of it was pretty comical. The LCD on the camera is fixed, so if you want to take a self portrait, you can't see what you're doing. Unless you plug the camera into a computer and send the camera feed to the monitor. That's what I did. What you can't see is me using my toe to tap a key on the laptop to hit the shutter. So what you see in the photo is pretty cool. What you can't see in that photo is anything but cool.
And for the record, the photo is in black and white to conceal the orange tip on my prop gun. I haven't gotten around to painting that black yet, so this was a cheap work around.
