I know what to look for that I usually mess up (glare from one of the lights on my glasses, cat tail in the photo, too many shots in basically the same pose) and just go with my instincts and delete, delete, delete. When I have it down to 8 or 10 decent ones I open those up in Photoshop and pick from there with a more VictorianKittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319752528366979140.post-61393472952577006912012-11-29T20:34:25.832-08:002012-11-29T20:34:25.832-08:00If you use a DSLR, you can get a remote (usually s...If you use a DSLR, you can get a remote (usually starting at around $30) that works out much better than the timer. You can shoot photo after photo without running back and forth to the camera in between each shot. Much easier to stay composed, and to grab the shot between gusts of wind. :)VictorianKittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319752528366979140.post-85075484333402670422012-11-29T18:12:17.427-08:002012-11-29T18:12:17.427-08:00Actually I can weed through them pretty quickly; t...Actually I can weed through them pretty quickly; there will usually be one set that is out of focus, one that didn't get my shoes, sometimes one that missed my head....Then its just a matter of flipping through the rest making snap judgements about whether I like the way it looks.Rebeccanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319752528366979140.post-74563101078186922562012-11-29T16:28:25.733-08:002012-11-29T16:28:25.733-08:00I'm liking this new tripod, & it was still...I'm liking this new tripod, & it was still pretty inexpensive.

Thanks for reminding me about that one. Does take more time to weed thru them later, but increases the chances of getting a good shot. Not pathetic at all - it's what the pros do!Trystan L.

I believe the timer on my camera is 12 seconds, which is enough time to get in my spot and make a cheesy smile. I use the spot by my altar because there's a window directly across from it and it's the only spot with good light.

I use the 10 second timer and make it take 10 photos at a time in the hopes that by the time I get to numbers 7 or 8 I remember to stick out my chin and smile. On average, I take between 50 and 70 shots to get one I don't hate. Is that pathetic?Rebeccanoreply@blogger.com
