I had someone ask me for a photo recently, and it occurred to me that I don’t have any photos of me this year. Well, I did, but they were on my laptop that got stolen. Since I was taking the photo myself, I took out my tripod, and did a bit of creative photography.

I had to crank the f-stop because I couldn’t get the focal length proper. My instant camera only allows 1, 2 and 5m levels. I was inbetween and kept coming up blurry because I couldn’t stand there and let it auto focus on my since I was behind the camera setting up the shot.

So the high f/stop (large depth of field) compensates a little bit. It’s not sharp, but I photoshoped it anyway. I Gaussianed the background

So the camera was down low, and I look really tall. Neat eh?

Excuse the shadows, the JPEG color profile accentuated them and I couldn’t be bothered changing the photoshop default right now.
