What did I do? Canon EOS Rebel XTi dSLR, Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, aperture priority mode, auto focus, no flash, 1/8s, f/8.0, ISO 200, Manfrotto 785B modo tripod, remote shutter release.
Yes, that is me!
This week's Exposaroonie Photo Challenge is the self-portrait. What is this weekly challenge, you ask? Well, remember PhotoPie? It's the same thing, it's just been moved to a different site.
So, how do you get in on the action? Each week, on Friday, a new challenge is posted, so check the Exposaroonie website. Anyone can participate. All you need to do is check what the challenge for the week is and then take a new photo sometime that week which falls within the parameters of the challenge.
Once you have your photo all ready to go, just upload it on the Exposaroonie Photo Challenge webpage, and sit back and wait... You might want to post it on your blog too, just to share it with the world!
Now that the challenge is being hosted on Exposaroonie, there are some new features. Most notably, YOU CAN VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE! Woot!! Actually, I'm leading the race right now (with 42% of votes) for my PhotoPie - Hot challenge. Check out the scoreboard in the right column and vote for your favourite!
GO DO IT! It's fun, and definitely a way to practise and challenge your photography skills.
Now, here are a couple of other shots from my self-portrait session. Evidence of how hard some things are to do when you have a 30 pound face-licking machine in da house!!
And, here's just one other photo that I took that I liked (not usual for me to like pictures of myself these days... uuuuuuuuugh - must... start... working... out!!):

These are BEAUTIFUL!!! The color is amazing and you look just stunning. I don't have a tripod... so I'm gonna have to hold out the camera. Not sure how that's gonna work. (Oh BTW... did you see you're winning in the That's Hot challenge? Woot woot.)
ooow ow! Look at you! beautiful colors, and I love your necklace!
I just emailed you too!

Sexy lady! Nice pictures. Great use of color, it really contrasts your dark hair and skin tone.
I voted for you! And check it out. I'm a refound blogger. I got over the blogging trauma of September 2007.
