52 Weeks of Me - Week 6 {At Arms Length}

This weeks theme was At Arms Length, easy peasy right? What I found hard was holding the camera steady, so I did get out the tripod but I pushed the shutter from an arms length away. The other thing that I found difficult was not looking like a goof ball. I tried to smile and it looked so cheesy, I tried to not smile and I looked constipated, I tried to "gaze" at the camera and I looked like a total dork. I settled with a quick, stand there and hit the shutter look.
I never realized how crocked my nose was till I took this picture.

Next weeks theme: Profile, find you good side ladies!

Don't forget there is also the Flickr Group and you can join in at anytime. I still want to hear any suggestions for themes if you got them.

  3. LOL. I'm not laughing at you but with you. I've been that road where every selfie seems so wrong! I don't think your nose is crooked in the least bit. I find it hard holding my dSLR with only one hand too. I like to prop my arm up on the back of a chair or sofa when I take one at arms-length.

  6. I thought this one would easier than it was for me. It really is hard to get your expression right. You nailed it with this one though. I am still trying to figure it out.

  8. I laughed when I read your post because I wrote about the same thing! I kept holding out the camera and I thought I was steady, but then the pictures looked a bit blurry. Then I finally remained still enough, but my expressions looked "forced!" I think you ended up with a beautiful shot!
