Time did not allow me to participate in the blog circle last week, but since I had covered HDR in my March 2017 blog, I didn't feel too bad about missing out on the activity.
This week, our topic is Selfies. I honestly do not take many selfies in the course of a year. I am not good at them, nor do I look good in them. So I decided to think about what most selfies look like to me.
Selfie characteristics tend to include:
This week, our topic is Selfies. I honestly do not take many selfies in the course of a year. I am not good at them, nor do I look good in them. So I decided to think about what most selfies look like to me.
Selfie characteristics tend to include:
- an angle taken from above,
- use of "portrait" and other enhancements (big eyes, smooth skin, etc.),
- photobombers,
- not everything fitting in the photo if you don't have a selfie stick (which I do not have and will never own in my lifetime),
Angled From Above:
If little Bethy took a selfie, it would be at an angle from above because she has the cutest head tilt when looking upward. If she were human, her paw would be stretched out, oddly to the left, to capture the image. Since she has no opposable thumbs, holding a cell is a problem, but at least the angle is selfie-worthy.
Photo Bomber:
The above image is the only one taken with my cell phone, and I got very lucky. New, small kitten and babysitter were playing on a chair and I had to make all kinds of noises to get small kitten to even look at me. But it is a typical, unplanned, "I-was-trying-to-take-a-selfie-and-then-you-came-along" moment. If my cats could take photos, 99.9% of their pictures would look like this.
Too Big To Fit:
If our horse, Roo, could take a selfie, this is all that would fit in the photo...his eye and a little bit of forelock, and maybe a hint of his neck and back. He is a big guy. Roo always wants to eat the camera, so getting this photo was interesting and involved a carrot.
So there you have it. My foray into selfie-dom. Now onward and upward to more selfie interpretations in the blog circle, starting with Pawparazzi Pet and Animal Photography presented by Shae Pepper Photography. Enjoy!
