| my arm is twisted to keep my shoulder back...right hand is holding the remote |
Every meeting, our photo club has a couple of "competitions" where anyone who is interested can enter some photos into competition under certain themes. This week, one of the themes was "Portrait". I did have some people lined up to take portraits, but it fell through when the family got sick. So, one day last week when John went into town, I set up an area to take some self portraits. Easier said than done! I set the camera on a tripod, and set it to take photos using my remote...added a sheet as a backdrop, a light to the side, and used a window for some soft lighting on the other side. Then I grabbed my "props"...er, willing volunteers???...to pose with me. One hundred and twenty five photos later (125!!! thank goodness for digital), I had a couple of usable shots. Because I couldn't focus the camera using the remote, there was a lot of slight shifting for each press of the remote, hoping to get something in focus. These are some of the out-takes:
 |
| Riley is getting tired of posing |
 |
| whoops! the camera must have shifted |
 |
| a new guinea pig...seems I can't be ready even when I'm the one taking the photo! |
 |
| Myrtle says photo session is over |
 |
| looking irritated with the whole thing |
 |
| finally got a good one! |

Even with Myrtle looking irritated, that's a good one with her over your shoulder.
The one with you and Riley? Priceless!!!
YES you did!
I wouldn't even have had the smarts to have a dark background.
So interesting.
Thanks Sarah.
