I’m sure you’ve been waiting to see it. lol. I decided it was time to update my self portrait and took a minute out of my usual morning routine yesterday to get this. Although it’s not the most perfect image ever, I still like it. Yes, my left eye is a little out of focus, but what do you expect with a press, dash, and smile attempt? lol. I only took about 4 shots and played with this one for just a couple minutes between editing some client images. (Jessie- keep checking back for a sneak peek very soon).
Some might ask how I did this. If your using an SLR camera and shoot wide open like I do, chances are you get a lot of images out of focus when you attempt a self protrait. Tip of the day: Place an object right where you want your eyes to be, focus on that, press the shutter button (with timer of course) and run like the wind into the spot and make sure you place your eyes in that same spot. Now when you take your own portrait, you will need to sacrafice some perfection because it’s not easy to take a perfect image of yourself.
