In Front Of The Camera

Self-PortraitI recently decided to do a self-portrait.  It was weird being on the other side of the camera.  I mean, I've been photographed before, but playing editor for my own picture wasn't that easy.

While doing my "A Shot A Day" project I found myself pictureless.  So, I thought to myself maybe I can do a self-portrait.  It was late(for me 9:30pm), but I couldn't fail in the final hours.  At the last minute, I pulled out the SB-600, eBay wireless trigger, and a silver reflector.  The D40 was set to manual as I pulled the trigger, recomposed, and made the necessary adjustments for a halfway decent portrait shot.

The shot I chose was OK, but I had a hard time picking the best shot.  Being in front of the camera is a little harder than I thought.  I now have a new respect for the models that I have photographed.
