Travelling Selfies

On Holiday - still working on selfies

Will I was on holiday I was still working on my course. It was easy to do with my phone close at hand but I was also able to take some with my DSLR.

To take a selfie with my DSLR is a lot more complicated than pressing a button on my phone. I did a number of selfies travelling around with my phone.

• Shadow on the path - this was an easy shot that I changed from colour to B&W using the app Fotor. I was able to do this while I was sitting under the tree waiting for a coffee.

•  Apple of my eye - this was under the same tree and as you can see I was taking my selfie in the sunglasses of the my partner. This one I also edited through Fotor. Brightening the colour and also focusing on the right glass lens and blurred the rest of the picture, thus giving a direct point of focus on me.

•  Mind-craft at the Opera House - this was a suggestion from one of the tutor on the course who suggested that I pixels out my face to prduce my faceless selfie. I decided to take the photo in front of the iconic building and pixel out the image of me and leave the building. I edited this picture with Fotor - to ensure my theme of the faceless selfie continued.

I am loving the Fotor app and I also have it on my computer. They are so easy to use. Although the reason I am doing this course is so that I do more editing with pictures from my DSRL and learn more about the editing tools with raw images. So the challenge continues.

Over the next few weeks - as it is Christmas - I am going to do the selfies I want on my camera and work on editing the raw image (wish me luck - I will need it).

Follow-up: Ice cream is still on going - but I have moved onto Iced Coffee (decaf I am hyper enough) with no sugar - yeah me this is a better option than the Iced Chocolate.
