It's not a 'selfie'.
Decided to try a self portrait for Polaroid week... I don't often do self portraits as I'm not exactly comfortable on that side of the camera, but want to make the effort to try different things for 'roid week. I've got a remote shutter button for my polaroid and it has a tripod mount, so I set it all up, tried to measure the focus (badly) and took the shot. I wasn't completely happy with it, it was quite a slow exposure and the focus is off, so I decided to put my flash on and try again. Bizarrely, I struggle with under exposure when I use the flash... I think it's because I've put a home-made diffuser over the flash, which is blocking quite a bit of light, so I shot two frames which were both under exposed to varying degrees... so I ended up going with the first picture after all. Despite the soft focus, it's the best composition/exposure of the three and is the most flattering lighting. Maybe I'll try again on Friday for the last day of 'roid week...
