My first Selfie..!

    I thought lets make a different selfie,

    My biggest problem was “the shot it self” wanted to be able to see myself!
    Camera on a tripod tethered to Lightroom but couldn’t really see what I was doing.

    Okay plan B
    Hooked up my Camranger and iPad switch on live view & mounted the iPad onto a light stand so I could position it.
    Used the Time-lapse function on the Camranger app, set the start to 30 seconds, 10 shots with an interval of 5 sec.
    With live view on it was easier to see what I was doing. (Of course I could have used a remote trigger

    How would you rate this shot?

    Ps. This shot would work better without glasses (but then I am blind as a bat)

    I really like it, what strikes me beyond the creativity in the shot is how big the left hand is. Well done.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your comment, used was the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM (to get as close as possible) that caused 80% of the distortion and I resized the head slightly to get a better effect.

    Here my set-up, again view wide angle as with photo.

    Very clever shot, the oversized hand is a bit distracting now that my attention has been
    drawn to it, but a really good image all the same! Well done.

    I would not have spotted the hand had someone not mentioned it so I would not worry about it. The shot itself is clever, eye catching and imaginative. Well done. I love to see shots where someone is thinking outside the box.
