Project52-Week 4: Self-Protrait



hi.

This week was definitely a challenge...it's so different being on the other side of the camera! 
I seriously didn't want to do it.
Thought about feigning some tragedy so that I could get out of it. {kidding!}
I don't mind being in a picture with my kids or my hubby, but alone is a different story!

Finally I just bit the bullet and took some pictures. 

I lugged this big ole' antique mirror from a yard sale down to the woods.

Glad we don't really have neighbors because they would have thought I was a nut.  Oh wait....=P
After experimenting with that I set up the tripod, set the timer and was running back and forth like a crazy chicken.

Just a bit of advice for you...buy a camera remote!! 

After all that torture, I wanted my hubby to pick.
He liked this mirrored one best.  

Hoping this isn't as painful for you as it is for me..... =)

  18. You look absolutely beautiful. I really like the way the focus is on your eyes. Being able to clearly see the one with the other peeping out from beneath your hair draws people into the picture. Great shot. I looked like a lunatic running back and forth too. And I do have neighbors. And I have five chickens who clucked at me the whole time.
