Why is it SO hard to get good "self portraits" when you hold the camera yourself? Faces always look weird, and it takes about 20 tries to get one that looks half decent. Add the weight of my 5D and 24-70mm lens, and it's pretty much impossible to get a good picture that's actually in focus.
Here are a few outtakes of Jay and I from our weekend in the middle of no where (excuse our appearance (especially the hair - YIKES), we were in the middle of the woods for the whole weekend:)
Eyes closed:
Out of focus:
Do you know what's going on with my expression here? Cause I don't....yikes.
I think I was telling him to remember to smile, when I ended up forgetting to give him a kiss....instead it just looks like I'm biting him:
Welp, this is as good as it gets!
And if it was just me holding the camera? Forget about it. One thing I learned about myself this weekend is that I really have no upper body strength - I had to make Jay hold the camera (my hands were a shaky mess) while I tried to focus and take the picture. Didn't hurt that he has abnormally long arms, they actually came in handy this time:)
I'll be posting more pictures from our weekend away later in the week:)
