Beautiful November Day in Durham, NC

Beautiful November Day in Durham, NC, originally uploaded by BMCportraits.

Still working on my self-portrait project. Learning (slowly) but the exercise makes me think about what I’m trying to accomplish much better than pointing the camera at someone else does. This way, I have to think about where I will be in relation to the background…and that is really helping me to visualize better than I typically do. Usually I just see if I like what I see in the viewfinder…this way, have to get the image in my head before I set the timer and move into the frame. That’s the goal and it seems to be working for me.
