Timer? |
I use one but if you just touch the camera then the tripod shakes and it turns out blurry and crappy because it moves from where I set it. Plus I have the most obnoxious cat in the world that I think knows what I'm trying to do and goes out of his way to jinx it by purring against the tripod. In fact he's currently lying on my keyboard now, making this awfully hard to type. hopefully I'll have a job soon and can buy better toys :D
Edit to add: Both are actually underexposed due to bad lighting, but because if I use my studio I'd wake everyone up I overexposed it to remove the ugly wall and air conditioner behind me. I'll put the photo information up now. The camera is directly in front of me and the light came from my post lamp off to the right or from my left from where I was in the photo.

I see. Well, when you crank the exposure up to white out the background, you can either go back in with the history brush and go back in and get that half of your face back. Or if you are overexposing in the RAW converter, create two exposures, layer them and erase the bad parts to reveal the good parts and then merge them. Hope you understand what I mean.
Also- get rid of the cat. ;-) |

Thank-you for the tips!!! As for the cat, I'm afraid he stays. He has way too much character:D |

Not quite myself...ba ba ba baby
Quick Art who's the band...eh!
I was thinking to myself as I was rippin' my Twisted Sister record to my zune...self, what am I going to do today. Then I ran across a Phil collins record but his head was too big. So I went with this one I found in the stack. |

Doh! (I forget to hide the transmitter)
The catz are indoor catz so that little patch of grass you may notice behind me is for them. |

If you're cleaning out your portfolio, you should delete the OLDEST first - not the newest. :P
Actually, if you are replacing the image, you can just re-upload to the same image record (edit details, browse, reupload) |
