Self Portrait: Click Chicks Linkup

Last week, my girl Meg asked around on Twitter if anyone would be interested in joining in on a weekly photography link up and if you know me at all, you know my camera is my mistress so I had to say yes! After a few emails with her and a group of other fabulous bloggers, together we founded the Click Chicks photo challenge. :)


Each Thursday, we'll be taking pictures focusing on a specific topic and we hope you join in to share what you've captured too! This weeks topic was self portrait. 

Over the past year, I've been shooting primarily in manual mode and with my 50mm lens and... well... that combination makes a self portrait quite difficult. I was totally up for the challenge though and as soon as I got home from work yesterday afternoon, I grabbed my Nikon D5100, sat it on the edge of the couch on self timer and snapped maybe 5 shots all together. 




Not my best work but for pressing the shutter release with a ruler - I think they'll do just fine. ;)

The "click chicks" and I really hope you decide to link up with us every Thursday!!

Next weeks topic:
HEARTS!

I love the pic of you and Noah! So cute! :) (and instead of a ruler, you should use the timer! You can set it up to take like 10!)

Woman, you need a remote!! They're like $20 and SOOOOOO worth it!! Although I think you did a gorgeous job without one. But really. Get one. You'll love it!

Julie Keller said...

Gorgeous photos! I can't believe you didn't take more than five photos. I took about a million, and mine's nowhere near as good as yours is!
