Do you remember how I had to get silly to actually get a few pics I liked?
These days I'm obviously most happy with my feet shots :) but let's face it, those are easy. And it's easy to get gorgeous pics. Two secs to compose the pic and gorgeousness!

| one of my favourites captured recently with my iphone - I can't stop taking pics of leaves, people! |
 |
| Connor and me at the gym - cute, hey? |
Because these arm-outstretched-in-the-front just get boring after awhile. Although I must say, I still take most of the pics of me and the kids like this.
 |
| Ballito.... oh how I miss you :) |
I feel like there's a measure of control to the shot rather than depending on an unrealiable timer. This is obviously one of the nicest self-portraits of me and the kids....
and an imperfect pic with the iphone in bad light
I've also grown to love hand shots. Best I start putting cream on my hands - they say you can always tell a woman's age by how her hands look!

| one of the first 10 pics with the 50 mm lens, and one of my favourites |
and then there's this one of the cucumbers that you all loved, taken in bad light, nogal :)
I've not mastered the timer pics AT all so I have no cool Superhero pics of me jumping, despite me desperately wanting a cool jump pic. I blame it on my bad reflexes!
But I have stepped out of my box more with these sorts of pics - the slightly interesting, off-camera pics.
This one is my favourite favourite! Taken on Easter Sunday.
Look out for those in a few weeks' time.
So tell me, which is your favourite?
Can I dare you to put a self portrait of your face on your blog? Who's up for the challenge?
Love love love self portraits. My favourites - the sephia picture of you and K- stunning and the shadow picture. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteI'll post some self portraits
LOL I think you need to invest in a remote trigger ;) that'll make you life easier
ReplyDeleteI just posted a rare shot of me (and the twins) from this weekend on the blog- Aaron took it. I generally don't like photos of me, in my head I'm still thin like in high school and college, but then in photos and mirrors I realize just how much weight I've gained :(
ReplyDeleteI still loathe selfies,but I'm always up for a challenge!
ReplyDeleteI just love that picture of you and K so much. Everything is perfect, right down to the highlights in your eyes.
Oh gosh I love the sepia one with Connor (saw it before?) and the second from the bottom. I am unashamedly uncomfortable with self portraits.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get myself out of that issue - I am totally ok with feet, hands, shadows but not face
I love taking selfies! Will most def take you up on this challenge ;)
ReplyDeletexxx
love the sepia one and the cucumber one (although that one doesn't count).
ReplyDeletei am SO close to coming out of the blogging closet. maybe one day soon.
(although i did post a picture of my leg and arm today!) :) ha!
on one other side note: i'm short with short arms. so selfies don't come easily for me!!! :)
Love the 2nd last one. It's gorgeous. I like the self portrait when it's not 'in your face' portrait.
ReplyDeleteI also love the one of you holding your specs. LOVE.
And yes, a remote does make things easier!
I love the black and white one of you and Kendra. I suck at self portraits.
ReplyDeleteMy favourites are the one with you and Kendra and the one where your holding the glasses.
