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:

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.
ReplyDeleteThat is why I ended up in my bedroom lol :) You look lovely as always Cara. I agree, you have beautiful hair and your nose is not crooked. Too funny! Your focus is awesome though on this one.
ReplyDeletelooking natural is easier said than done, yes? I think this one turned out nicely. well done.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYou have got to have the healthiest hair of anyone I know. What's your secret? :) Lovely at arms length!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeletecrooked nose? hmm, I don't see it. But I do see the same gorgeous hair as everyone else!
