Morning Fred: nice to meet you at last!
Fred Adams: Morning to you Chris and cheers - foolhardy or brave I'm not sure, but had to be done some time! smile
Ha! worry lines ... you should see mine.


You aren't that grumpy looking git that I thought you were. {grin]
Fred Adams: LOL - Really!? I was trying my hardest, honest!
Nice to meet you Fred.
Fred Adams: Cheers Mick, appreciated!
Nice meeting you Fred!
Fred Adams: Thanks Richard
You're way more transparent than I am. I still don't give a real name and my self portraits are all shadows. Good on you and nice to put a face to the name.
Fred Adams: Maybe brave or foolhardy of me I'm not sure, but only fair given what I occasionally put others through! smile

Encantado de conocerte Fred! Serious portrait ha! Any photoshop here? smile
Fred Adams: Gracias Juan - no hay PS acqui, solamente un poco manipulation con Lightroom! smile
Hey Fred! Good to see ya! Great b/w, last time I tried something like this, my son said I looked like an evil dictator! smile
Fred Adams: I have similar family concerns Frank if it's of any consolation- thank you!
I can only join everyone else in saying how nice it is to meet your Fred, a fine self portrait.
Fred Adams: Thank you kindly Brian - appreciated - I'm afraid being a newcomer, I have missed most of the formal SC introductions though I do now recognise a few contributors!
Hiya Fred. That's a good portrait and nice to meet you.
Fred Adams: Likewise, thank you Janet, most kind & appreciated!
A fine portrait Fred & nice to put a face to the name - pleased to meet you. I might try one of these, although portraits aren't my forte.
Fred Adams: They're certainly not mine (or at least touching them up!) smile Thanks Martin & likewise!
It's a pleasure to meet you Fred... are you capable of smiling at allgrin... this is a fine self portrait with good light and shaddow....petersmile
Fred Adams: Thanks Peter, most kind & much appreciated! smile
ok, so Fred, this is another fantastic shot... tell me were you using off camera flash? umbrella and so on?? great lighting, am guessing maybe a grid spot was involved to focus the light one one side, a dark reflector to kill the light on the other side?? love it!!
Fred Adams: Thanks Dami - very impressed with your blog also - was your NYC trip photography based then or was the demo purely opportunistic? Non of the above methods was involved - am very lucky to have a NW facing window in our living room which means soft daylight most of the day - just a case of setting up a backdrop (badly ironed) and facing the right way to catch the light.
hahahahaha!! thats what i call creative lighting!!! Well I was in Cleveland Ohio for work, and organised to stop off in NYC. I discovered the demo was happening while I was there so very lucky indeed.
Fred Adams: Yes, I still have a lot to learn ref studio lighting but don't really have the need, as yet! smile Look forward to seeing some of your other NYC pics!
Hola Fred, nice light, i like the glint in your eyes smile
Fred Adams: Cheers Ayush, that's the mini-representation of NW facing window we have!

Really good to know what you look like, Fred. Would you say this is a revealing self-portrait?
Fred Adams: LOL, absolutely Elisabeth - taken when worse for wear - don't tend to things in half measures me! smile Thanks
