Day 85 - Upside-down (chair-assisted)
I was going to try a hand-stand, but I don't have the strength to get into one. So I decided to use a chair instead. My head is resting on the ground, my feet are held vertically (they aren't propped against anything), and the chair is suffering the majority of the burden of my weight.
After the first shot, the camera took the picture, then I got up, swearing never to do that again! Then I reviewed the picture... "I can't even see my head...." Fine, second take. I move the tripod back, get in position, take the picture. "I must be crazy to have done that twice. At least it has my head in it this time, that'll do."
"Well, the shadows are really harsh on my eyes. Maybe one more with the fill flash...." Put the camer aback on teh tripod, get back into position, take a picture, get up "Well, that should do it. Good thing, too, because I'm never doing that again." Review the picture, "Well, it's better, but the shadows are still pretty harsh...." Fourth time's the compromise between "the charm" and "my neck."
I'm never going to do that again! Well, unless I'm sure I can do better than that.
