Taking a self portrait is more difficult than you can imagine. I take mine with a self – timer, wireless. The timing is crucial. In this post I want to show some photos I took yesterday. Have been practicing different styles all weekend. Saturday I did the out of focus portraits and Sunday I tried getting full focus and perfect sharpness. I succeed in some and in some not so much. It is hard telling when you are out if you have gotten that perfect shot or not, it isn´t until later when home again your realize that 90% of all photos lack something like focus, sharpness or are to light or dark etc. But it is a challenge that I love.
Enjoy my portraits from the forest of Grythyttan.

Snygg kofta och skor. Ja resten också. 🙂
Tar du bilderna själv eller har du en hjälpreda? Assistent?
Själv. Med självutlösare. Man ser den i handen på någon bild 🙂
Smart.
Man är alltid sin bästa dräng. 🙂
Precis. Om jag säger att det tog två timmar att fota några porträtt så kanske det inte är så imponerande längre 😉
Också sant. Där för är det så bra med en vikbar skärm på kameran så att man ser vad man gör.
Det har jag på alla mina kameror. Å andra sidan är ingen av mina kameror är så bra som din.
Tyvärr så finns inte vikbar skärm på min å andra sidan är det bra kvalite på skärmen .. Men ja, finns ju saker som är bra och dåliga.
Alltid.
To start with, the snowberries are sensational ! – we have nothing like them in winter Dowunder.
And the shots with the timer are REALLY good: you must have been thrilled with these frames, I hope, Katarina !
Thanks mr! I am. I like them myself but like the blurry ones better I think. The ones in the red coat.
The fun of it all is seeing what you can come up with using the timer, eh ? – some fantastic (jumping off the stump), some plain beautiful (mid-shot leaning in from the left) and some from the other day that capture the season wonderfully (no. 5 down, where the f.g. is sharp and the rest not) …
Thanks! 🙂 yes the fun is really to do just that, play around with the self timer etc
Excellent photos. You of course have an advantage in that you are photogenic. I don’t think I would try such an experiment for public consumption.
Thanks Andrew! Haha. I dont think you should be afraid to take some self portraits. It is a challenge for everybody I assure u! There is always something wrong with your nose, your skin etc. me myself am doing a chemical peel of some sort that I will take some time to write about. At the moment suffering from very dry skin. Haha 🙂
Vilka bra bilder! Verkar kul att experimentera med självporträtt 🙂 Du får till det riktigt bra tycket jag.
Tack christina. Jo men det är roligt 🙂
I like!
Tackar! 🙂
Woooowwww Beautiful Pictures, big thanks Katarina….???
Thank you 🙂
I think the photos are excellent. I love the pensive shot of you looking away from the camera. Looks like something I would see in Vogue or suchlike! My daughter does well with the self-timer thing ( I guess they are the selfie generation, so it is not such a surprise in that respect). I do quite agree on the difficulty of viewing one’s photos out in the field. I have endless trouble seeing the photos I take with my phone camera.
Yes. Same here. And especially when it gets dark and cold. :/
