title pic Self Portrait Sunday :: The Challenge

Posted by Alli on November 23, 2008

I know I’ve said it before, but one of my favorite blogs to read every morning is Shutter Sisters. The community of photographers- amateur and professional- is brimming with creativity that can only inspire and lift you up as you drink your coffee and fend off the climbing four year old.

Last Wednesday a challenge was offered.

Today’s challenge is simple: go outside. Hold your camera down a bit and capture a shot of yourself with the sky as your backdrop. Then point your camera down and capture your feet on the ground.

I put it off until today when I was inspired by the nice weather and sunny skies (which only lasted until about 2 p.m.). But as I shot the pictures, I was having some trouble. Something was in the way, making shooting up a little difficult. So, I had to shoot from the side. And when I shot down, well, unless I moved one foot out a bit, there was no seeing my feet.

Consider this my Self Portrait Sunday, 28 week belly shot, and my answer to the Shutter Sister’s November 19th challenge.
