Self Portrait Sunday: Attempt to do it right
Posted by Alli on August 10, 2008
I’m not really happy with this picture, but if you saw my other pictures, well, this is the best one.
I need experiment more with my DSLR to get the remote to work on it. I can’t seem to get the self timer to work with the auto focus and it is getting frustrating. And I am so used to my Canon’s flip out LCD screen to help with the framing, I need to just practice more with the DSLR.
I also need to remember to clean my glasses before taking these pictures (I’m amazed I can see), and mop up the oil from my face. Pregnancy is screwing with my face now, which was not a challenge when I was pregnant with Fuller. But then again, someone at church did tell me today I was glowing. I bit my tongue and just told them thanks, but really the glow is coming from the excess oil I seem to be generating.
Any other Self Portraits out there? Head over to Cass’s and see some for yourself!

I hate it when I take a bunch of pictures and have to choose the lesser of the evils! And I’m constantly thinking my glasses need cleaned! That being said, I think this is a matter of being our own critics because I think this is a good picture. You look a little… tired? frustrated? but other than that…

I always take several pictures before choosing one, so I feel you. I always forget about the timer option on the camera as well. I think you’re looking great though

you look like you’re about to fix my hair or something
and I agree, you had some special “glow” or something going on at church yesterday. I was too timid to say it at the time, but better bloggy than never, right?

I like it! I’m with Petra – mysterious and pensive about describes. I’m totally relating to the dirty glasses dilemma, though. I usually don’t notice until the photo has been online for days, then suddenly all I can see is the smeary fingerprints or even dog slobber on my lenses, lol!

I can’t ever seem to get a real “self portrait” to work. I cheat every time. You do look a but tired, but not more so than you should for a pregnant mom with an active toddler.
