Does anyone else find?
« on: April 15, 2010, 11:49:17 AM »
That your shiny noggin reacts differently to photos than when you had hair? 

For instance, I tend to find that when someone takes a pic from a distance that I look really washed out and pale, yet when a photo is close up it seems to get a much better skin tone.  The same thing applied with group shots.  I have always assumed it was the camera's capacity to focus effectively.  I also find that cameras do weird things with the 'shadow' depending on where the light is.

Had never really noticed this before i was sly, but I suppose I just think it is more noticeable now there is a little (well a lot) more skin to go at! 

Does anyone else have this experience or do I need to buy a better camera lol

Some close ups, depending on the light, will make my head look rather bent and lopsided.  Group shots w/ digital, color depends on what the damn thing decides to use as the tone for the whole shot.  Too much blue in the background or foreground, one result, etc.  Shadow depends on the light, sometimes very pronounced, other times non-existent--or almost.

I have noticed a difference in my shadow. Some lighting make me look shadowless (if only!!!) while others make it very apparent.
Life has three aspects: Paradox, Humor, and Change.

Paradox: Life is a mystery; don't waste time figuring it out.
Humor: Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself. It is a strength beyond all measure
Change: Know that nothing stays the same.

Yeah I know, I have tried, but cant get the jpeg to be small enough to upload, so am currently trying to locate the old digital camera.
