Day 54 of 365
This is really a retry from yesterday as I was struggling with the prompt I was using which was "a mirror". Holly has suggested using this handheld one but I got caught up trying to use another mirror in the house and just could not get a shot I liked. I'm glad I came back to that prompt though it was still tricky. I decided to use the handheld mirror and to do a self-portrait. Positioning myself through a mirror was not easy even though I found out I can use an app on my phone to fully remote into my camera so I can see what the camera sees while I move to the right place and then trigger it. That will certainly come in handy when I do more self-portraits as I struggled last time with focusing and this should solve it. I'm glad I came back to the prompt. Sometimes you just need to walk away for a bit (or a day) and think about something afresh instead of becoming obsessed with one idea and not trying other options.
