Were these shots self-timed, Cathy, or was Peter recruited to take on portrait photography? You’re probably smiling in relief that you’re more than 75% through this endurance test.
V,
I use a great device that allows me to control my camera from my iPad – it’s called a CamRanger- so these are true self-portraits (or these days, selfies). The camera was on a tripod and the iPad was in my lap. You’re right, my arms are not that long!
They were taken during a photo shoot in my home studio as I wanted a self portrait for my photography website and then I ended up using the same shot for my Gravatar here. And, yes, I chose the one today because I am smiling at being close to the end of NaPoWriMo. Only six more days to go!
Question: Does that CamRanger (app?) allow you to see and frame your photo on the iPad? And since you’re holding a camera, I assume you have another one that you were taking the photo with?
Yes, to both questions, Lee. The camera I’m holding is my old Nikon D70. The photo was taken with my Nikon D600. The Cam Ranger tethers to the iPad using a Wifi device.

Thanks, Mimi! As I get older, I find it takes more courage to post photos of myself, but I really did like this one. 🙂

Great smile, Cathy. Is that a true black background or are you photoshopping?

OK, not an app. (I looked it up.) Clever device, though!
