Krystle, love the shot. The shadow really makes the photo that much better. Not sure why, but it's perfect.

Thank you! I agree - the shadow's my favourite part!

Thank you both soooo much! (: It was nice doing something like this again. (:

Good work, Alex! That location is great and the white dress is perfect for contrast.

I haven't found a good spot for my shot this week, so I'll to just put something together this afternoon.

Is that last group really you, Alex? Looks nothing like the others.

ALex. I think those are your best selfies to date. Very well done.

Agreed! Is there a book on self portraits? I can't seem to figure out how to focus/run back fast enough!

Yes, yes its really me! Weird, no? Its probably because 1)I'm wearing a dress. Not my usual attire(that's changing) and 2)My hair is straight where in the past 25weeks(there was a week with it straight but you can't really tell) its been in its natural curly state. haha.

I'm sure there is! There seems to be a book for everything. But on this shoot I had my mom stand where I was going to be(we had a pine cone set the general area of our feet) shot at f9. I focused on my mom, and then we switched places and she clicked for me. Cause there was no way I could've ran that distance in heels and get my shot. hahaha.
