Title: Loathsome Subject:Selfies
Post by: FrameMaker on November 23, 2015, 05:03:28 pm
Here are a few self-made selfies that I like for various reasons.  I'm interested in sharing these pics to get some opinions on subject matter(LoL), composition & style.  Please have it & thanks for looking.

No duck lips?!?! :)

These are pretty nice as selfies go. I like a well executed and thoughtful selfie and I would put these into that category.
I particularly like the first.

Here are a few of mine.
There's the one I use for my profile. I took it while trying to shoot some meteors that never showed up.

A couple cycling selfies. Sometimes I have an idea for a cycling shot but no model but myself.

I'm making duck lips in all the ones where I'm facing away from the camera. ;)

Framemaker's four are quite imaginative and worth looking at, unlike most selfies.

Thanks to all who took the time to comment & also to those who posted a few of their own.  Who can resist?

One thing I've learned about shooting selfies is "they're hard!"
Here's one of my favourite selfies. On the occasion of my 65th birthday.
