I made this self portrait outside on the deck today. My intent was to test my ability to use a remote switch to take self portraits with my DSLR. As my friends and family are aware I frequently make self portraits with my point & shoot at arms length. My Canon G5 has a screen which can be swiveled so it’s a snap to frame an image of myself holding the camera in my hand. Alternately my Canon 5D is a traditional DSLR design thus no swivel screen. For this image I used a tripod with a remote trigger and centered myself by looking at my glorious reflection in the 77mm diameter lens glass of the 24-105mm lens I used. I have found many photographers on PBase who have created exceptional self portraits. Today was a test run/proof of concept for me. Now I will do some thinking to come up with a creative self portrait solution. Although I am pretty happy with this quick test portrait.
