Selfie with the Azaelas in Bloom

I have wanting to take another selfie for awhile.  Last one was for NewYear's Day with props.  My neighbor's azaelas were blooming and good backdrop to try a selfie.  The azaelas a distraction rather than looking at all my wrinkles and freckles. LOL.   I did not want to set up a tripod and it was late evening with shade.  Had to use front camera which is only 3 megapixels. It is really difficlut to know what the camera is seeing and when doing close ups--has a tendency to crop what you think you have in the LED screen.   So after maybe 20 shots this one is the best expression.  Unfortunately there is a patch of sky in the upper R corner.  I need to try again on a tripod with a self timer or using the ear buds a a cable release.  My daughter says she found a remote at Hobby Lobby called SnapIt amd requires an app. Will have to look into it.

Nannette New Year "Selfie"

Today is January 1st, 2015, and the first day of posting for 365 challenge to use an iPhone for taking a photo and posting to a social media site if I  wish.  It is more fun to share than just have the image reside unnoticed on your computer.   Today I decided it would be good to take a "selfie" using some New Year's Props from The Party City store.  I could not find my ear buds to use as a remote, so, that meant I was stuck with multiple attempts at trying to get the image I wanted.  To prevent movement I did use the burst mode and the volume buttons.   I decided daylight in front of my chimney might be good background choice, as I really did not want to use flash inside.  I wanted it to be colorful and thus the multi-color boa.

I used the native camera app, the square photo choice, took off my glasses because lenses would have been dark.   I used the crop in camera.   Then  I posted to FB.   The next "selfie" I try may be at Mardi Gras time as I have a feather mask and some colorful beads as props. .
