Over the weekend, I decided to try out some self-portraits. I had a few minutes while the kids were occupied, and I’d been meaning to take self-portraits as it was a suggested assignment in one of the photography books I’ve been reading.
I propped my camera (no time to pull out the tripod…the kids would be out any minute), put it on auto-timer, and tried to figure out how to focus it.
After guessing at the focus point and failing several times, I moved the kids’ rocking horse to the spot where I would be. Then after pressing she shutter, I hopped into position, shoved the rocking horse out of the way, and smiled.
It worked alright! I think it would be fun to try a variety of self-portraits over the next year to see what I can do:)
Nicely done, I've been meaning to do that.
Nice job! I hate pictures of myself…and my kids laugh hysterically whenever I try and "pose" a smile.
Do's been taking a photo class here at the community college and has done some really nice portraits of him self and other friends recently. I've been hesitant to pose…
Beautiful photos, beautiful lady.
You are such a beautiful person! Both inside and outside 🙂
