    Self portrait at the fire

    Took my first self portrait this past weekend in northern Michigan. D7100 & 18-105mm on the picnic table. Used the trusty built in self-timer. Somehow I lost my EXIF importing last weekends images to Lightroom. The effects were done in Lightroom 5 with a combination of manual settings and a...
