Mini Photo Challenge | Day 5: High Angle

I picked up this dinosaur softie at a garage sale a few years ago. The old lady selling it didn't seem to want to part with it at all. I'm pretty sure she made it. She had another one in a yellow floral fabric too. I should have bought both.

Mini Photo Challenge | Day 4: Something Green

I love the shade of green these little bubble gum eggs are. I'm glad I didn't throw them away after Easter.

Mini Photo Challenge | Day 3: Clouds

There weren't too many clouds in the sky today. Luckily I snapped this shot while taking a stroll at lunch today.

Mini Photo Challenge | Day 2: What I Wore Today

What I wore today

 I really wanted to set this shot up in the field down the street, but I didn't have the nerve to go alone. Maybe later this month I'll get the courage to venture out with my tripod.

Mini Photo Challenge | Day 1: Self Portrait

I started a mini photo challenge. If you are wondering what its all about check out this post. The first day's challenge is a self portrait. I have never really taken one, unless you count all the myspace photos I took of myself when I was a teen. You know the ones where people hold out the camera to take a picture of themselves making stupid faces. Like the first one here. Yes, I'll admit I did have one of myself making duck face, but I have completely outgrown that.

Anyway, it's a pretty challenging concept. Having to set up a camera to take a photo while making sure you stand in the right spot is tricky. I played around a little bit yesterday just to warm up. It didn't go so well. As you can see I was completely out of focus. I also had a neighbor giving me the stink eye so I gave up after a few shots.

When I got home from work today I decided to go the old mirror route. I didn't just want to take a picture of me in a mirror. I've seen that done too many times. So I played with the idea of taking a picture looking into a mirror reflecting back onto the mirror behind me. It turned out to be a fairly interesting effect.

I love the way your eye gets carried across the photo from one corner to the other. I also like the warm hue I added.
