I'm sure when you checked my blog or followed a link here you were expecting something much more spectacular than pictures of my face! But all photographers need a date with the mirror & their camera every now & then right?! It's been really long since I've done mirror pictures but I stumbled upon an amazing combination {dirty mirror + various light sources = fabulous "fake" bokeh & grain} and just couldn't resist snapping a few {okay. snapping a lot!}:) Using one subject and tweaking lighting and/or composition to come up with a whole bunch of different images is so much fun! And who knew dirty mirrors could come in handy?!
I stuck in a few cliche "photographer/mirror" images -- just had to, you know! Laugh all you want at the images of me making faces at myself in the mirror:D They make me laugh a whole bunch too!!
rockin' the dirty mirror bokeh! oh yeah!!
"the portrait." "shoot from the hip." "the side shoulder."
"bored meets creepy"
"let's hit that sideways, why don't we?"
quirky jerky;)
the "photographer's totally get a work out! you try holding 5lbs in your outstretched arm for what seems like 10 yrs. oh and don't you dare let your arm shake- that's a 3 second exposure!" pose
the "oh you thought you heard a click? I'm sure you were wrong- it was probably the doorjamb" pose for "sneaky" shots
and the one I'm most guilty of when out in public? shooting from the hip. or just shooting while "cradling" my camera when "not using" it. I've gotten some fabulous {and not so fabulous} pictures on the street that way.
haha I LOVE this post! The pictures made me laugh. :) And they were really well taken pictures! You so talented. :)
