Never really do self portraits. Was testing lights before shoot and thought what the hell. Grab a stupid hat and click. Yup its not technically correct but its me nonetheless. Say hello to captain happy. ;)

Is the look because the Vikings didn't make the playoffs? ;)

[ilovemycamera]

HaaHAa HAa, Grain! That's precious! You did great with that one!

No matey its 2 hours sleep due to our beautiful son teething! :)

..and I'm in the Uk, so who are the vikings? :p;)

...and I'm in the Uk, so who are the vikings? :p;)

Being a typical American, I sometimes forget that anything happens outside of our borders. :D (Just KIDDING!!! Please no flames) ;)

Assuming you probably really don't know (and of course, why would you?) the Vikings are the football (American football, that is) team from Minnesota. Being from Indianapolis and a hopeless Indianapolis Colts fan, I'm on pins & needles hoping the Colts win tomorrow and go to the Super Bowl - and beat New Orleans.

BTW - A real Vikings fan would kill for that "hat".

[Grain]

I kinda figured it had something to do with sport. Thanks for the heads up Jeff! I'll have a look on Sky sports tonight. Good luck Colts

Kill for the hat mmmmmmmmm. Theres an idea. I'm just off to eBay ;)

Grain, I love your portrait. The composition is fantastic! Tons of character....and when your son gets big you can show him how he contributed to your creativity!

grain, my wife says you have got a bit of a Mel Gibson thing going on there. Nice helmet lol. Nice self portrait

[ilovemycamera]

Thanks mate! I can't wait for that day to come. :)


Easy, Grain... be careful what you wish for! They'll grow up faster than you can ever imagine.

[Grain]

Yes of course you are right. Maybe I wish that the teething stage went quicker ;)

Eos o eos, mate I think either your wife has very good sense of humour or she really must visit the opticians and get thicker glasses :) Mel Gibson!? I think not...try Elmer fudd

[ABrownPhoto]

me thinks the shot is awesome!!

Great conversion, lighting, focus, and expression ;)

[Grain]

Hey Skweekie, you are always so kind with your comments. Thanks chum. Was a crappy day , constant rain and very cold. Of course in the back of my mind was that I had to go back to my day job the very next morning. That sucks big time

[LCF]

That shot/expression is priceless!

[pttenn]

Great shot--FUNNY, lots of character! Love it!

NIce shot Grain! I personally HATE to have my photo taken, but love to take other's photos! LOL!

[Titus213]

Have to agree, the expression is priceless. The lighting is quite nice too. And the hat just pushes it all over the top. Very nice work.

[rowdyred94]

Who are the Vikings?! WHO ARE THE VIKINGS??!!

Actually, you aren't missing much. Great shot, though. It looks like a commercial for a sitcom or something.

[MDJAK]

That is an incredibly good and funny shot. Thanks for sharing.
