Portraits (Self & Preview)

Self- Portrait tips

1.- Set the Timer High and Use Burst. Give yourself plenty of time to get in position and figure out what you're doing. Most cameras let you vary the length of the timer, check your manual for how to set yours.
2.- Use Both Auto and Manual Focus. A good practice to get into when you're taking self-portraits is to use a mix of auto and manual focus.
3.- Pick up a tripod. Nearly any tripod will do so I won’t go into much detail, but the tripod is essential as it gives a flexible yet sturdy mount for the camera.

Environmental.-
 
In these photos both persons are natural, and in their enviroment.
Casual.-
    
I like these photos because are smiling.
Formal.-
 
I like these photos because are a good example of formal portrait.
self.-
   
I like these photos because the first is original, and the second looks natural.

My plan for my portrait assignment is take photos to people I know, as classroom friends or family; my house and the school are good places to take excellent photos, I'll take photos outside and inside because I want good and different photos, also that is a challenge; I will use the rules of photography to make the shot successful.
