OK everyone, here’s our new photo assignment: ‘Self Portrait.’ Make a really interesting and compelling self portrait. You may shoot it as a reflection, into a mirror, with a tripod and timer, however you want to accomplish this feat…but a self portrait it must be! Remember, like all portraits, your self portrait needs to reveal something of the personality of the subject (that would be YOU). So think about this for a bit before you start shooting.
Also don’t forget: in the proper spirit of this Assignment series, you need to go out and shoot a NEW photograph. (Honor system in play here.) Limit is two images per shooter.
I’ll keep this assignment up in the Forums for about two weeks, so let’s see what you guys can come up with! (Information for posting your image can be found at the top of the Photo Assignments forum, if you haven’t posted before.)
Good luck! –DiscerningPhotog

Ok, here's my contribution showing myself at one of my most favorite activities, climbing. While it's rather cold outside, it's still winter here in Germany, climbing halls are a good opportunity to stay trained.

The following facts I have not told yet ;-):
- There was some danger in handling the camera. It was possible to let it fall.
Don't do it if you are not absolutely sure to be able to handle such a situation.
- It is not the most favourite background, but the route was "safe" enough (from my personal point of view) to be able to handle this excersise. Reason was, that a rest position was available and known to me.
- My partner did not look up to me, which is some sort of mandatory for a good climbing image.
- I did not lead that route, which usually will give you the best images. You cannot see the rope attached to me, but you see the rope going back down to my girl-firend for safety. Would have been fun to remove it from the image.
Seriously, climbing can be dangerous for yourself or your partner, so you need to be full aware of it. That is completey up to yourself. Taking the camera on a climbing trip might lead to damage or even loss of it. Fortunately, I haven't had any damage or lost experienced yet, but it might come at sme point in time. And I hope to shoot more exiting images in the future.
