I was just passing a mirror on my way back in the house with a camera in my hand and couldn't resist the urge. Feel free to post up any new selfers you have or rush right out and get a few and post them.

    There you go again, showing off the size of your, er, ah, equipment!

    ;-)

    Great shot OT!!!!

    It was a bright and sunny day in coastal North Carolina. It was also hot and humid. You sweated just sitting in the shade...

    Don't know why that took you so long Lori. Nice job with the selfer. I think it is only natural for us to be a little more sensitive about our own photo than those thousands of other people that we take.

    You've all seen plenty of self-portraits from me and you know how beautiful I am. But these are a little different so I thought I'd throw them into the mix. They were taken with the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW I'm currently wrapping up a review for.

    I was also wondering who the second person was in your "self portrait"!

    I"ve got several new shots of Dawn this summer. When I get some free time, I'll resize them for PR and post a few.

    It's been a while and time to bring this thread back to life. I hope everyone has been doing a few self portraits. Here is my latest effort. It was taken with the self timer and the camera sitting on an end table and the lens balanced on a small toy car of my grandsons. You'll notice I included my wife Joy in the shot just to keep you looking and make it a bit more interesting. Hope everyone will post a new self portrait soon.

    Good self portraits should reflect who you are and where you are at in life. Very nicely done and so nice to see you.

    Re: Another Self Portrait
    Well,thanks,Old Timer,
    - if you saw me crawling in with the dawn,dirty,sweaty,mobbed by my cats,trying not to drop my camera,kicking my suitcase in front of me......but I take your point,
    "Good self portraits should reflect who you are and where you are at in life."
    and will try it again.

    -Natabeach-that is awesome !
