Bookmark topic
Thank you everybody for the votes for the previous shootout!
The "selfie" is a relatively new phenomena in the photography world, so I thought we should engage as well.
I will change it up a bit which will give us a bit more flexibility.
1. You don't need to hold the camera, it can be placed on anything.. tripods, cars, etc. We won't have a way to verify that someone else didn't take a photo of you, but we will just have to trust that you are going to be honest about it.
2. You can use mirrors, or any other reflective surface such as water, metal, etc.
3. You can hold the phone yourself, of course.
4. You don't have to show your face, if you don't want to. As long as you are in the picture, no matter how, it qualifies.
There aren't very many examples on Esato, but here are a few
taken by
Sassho
taken by
Halbercone
There are plenty of examples if you just look up selfie on bing/google
Good luck!
•Photo must be taken by the person entering
•Photo must be taken in this month, MAY
•Upload the photo to the Esato's photo gallery
•Post processing is not allowed. Someday it will. BUT NOT NOW.
•It's allowed to change your photo ONCE!
•Please don't delete your photo. It doesn't make sense. An empty square is not funny. The spirit of the competition dies right there. If you want add a watermark, but please don't delete it.

I've been told by the FCC here in the states that I'm no longer permitted to posted images of myself as they are too offensive.... further violations will result in a lifetime ban from the interwebs.... gonna have to sit this one out I'm afraid!

On a serious note though, there are more people, who don't want their photos on the internet, I've never posted any pics of hubby, friends, family or myself on Twitter, here, or anywhere else on the www.

I knew this might not suite everybody because of privacy, but there is a sense of community here so I thought it will be okay.
And I will add this to the original post, but you don't have to show your face
You could be walking away, or profile.. hats/sunglasses.. or even your shadow
As longs as you are in the picture somehow, it would satisfy the spirit of the rules.

Of course it's okay, no theme ever will be for everybody
and a lot of people like posting selfies on Twitter, Facebook, etc.,
Oh, and btw, congrats with your win, stunning photo!

Someone on Instagram commented that my selfie looked too samey. I need to make it more interesting and a decent portrait
