First shots using my new tripod and BOY is it much easier than balancing my SLR baby on the hood of my car (and of course it was RAINING when I did this).
So many spots have opened up for me where I can kinda just trek to away from the eyes of nosy people. Wish I could find a remote for my camera but as for now, I'll still have to run and pose in time for the automatic shutter release but it's all good!
How do you ladies usually take your blog pics?
What I'm Wearing:
Top: JCrew
Rings: Made Her Think
Necklace: Cara Accessories (DIY chain; replaced the ribbon it originally came with)

Great shots per usual! :)
ReplyDeleteI usually take my pics tha same exact way. But since I'll be upgrading to an SLR soon, I think the remote might comen in handy. I love your lip shade! So pretty on you.
I am fortunate enough that my boyfriend agrees to take them...daily. He's a doll.
ReplyDeleteI love that necklace on you. Congrats on the tripod!

You look fantastic! I cannot believe this is all with a self timer! You look fantastic! While I'm home in Florida, my mom has been taking my photos, but when I get back to NY tomorrow, I'm not exactly sure how I'll be taking them!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

ReplyDeleteyay yay for a new tripod!! I either try and find a way to set my camera up and like you said run and pose in a 10 second time limit, or I make someone (my mom if I am with her) take pictures of me. ^-^

ReplyDeletespinning-threads.blogspot.com
you did a great job with the running back and forth to pose. i love the styling too especially that ring.
ReplyDeletethis is way too amazing that you were able to take photos of yourself on the rain, I am not sure if the camera was safe...I like your ruffled top esp on the background...My husband takes most of my photos -- after being yelled 500x...and still, there are shots that can make me cry...=(!! I tried the tri pod too myself, if he is not around so I feel comfortable..I don't like people looking at me...=)
ReplyDeleteThat skirt is amazing my dear!

LOVE the shorts! great outfit:p You look amazing again::
ReplyDeletesweet skirt, and love the lip color! i have not given in to a tripod yet...still balancing ye camera on trashcans, fences, whatever i can find. i did get a remote (which fricken broke already), but it turned out to be more of a hassle for me! too many things to think about...hard enough getting good shots, then have to worry about what to do with my hand with the remote. i like simple...it's almost easier for me with the timer. or at least that's what i'm telling myself until i can get a new one!
ReplyDeleterockoomph.blogspot.com
I want your A+O skirt badly. I have the perfect shoes for them.
ReplyDeleteHubby takes my photo too, havent tried tripod yet. And yes, I hate having to run to beat the timer lol.
you look wonderful in this greenery! My companion takes my blog photos and he begins to love it eventually. My grand father has just thrifted two tripods for me, I can't wait to use them.
ReplyDeleteAmyyyy, what a gorgeous red lips!!! Loved it! I also loved that skirt, OMG! And you paired all in a very cool and charming way! You are amazing1
ReplyDeleteBy the way, yes, I take all my photos! In the pasts days I was sad, because I love to do photos outside my house (and I did that only few times). But, there here is the answer: a tripod!!!!!! Very good idea!!!
Kisses,
Cris.
I love the red lips. The skirt and the jewelry are also gorgeous. Is the skirt leather. I have been on the hunt for a leather skirt for forever.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of also doing the tripod thing. Update us on how that works out. Right now my fiancee does all my pictures.
