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!
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.
