So last weekend Jason was in Missouri and the parents were out on a road trip leaving me completely alone in the house!  This was a rare occurrence so I celebrated by doing random things like practicing my makeup skills. (many thanks to Pinterest!) Since I spent so much time on my makeup I figured I shouldn’t waste it by just washing it off so I decided to take some self portraits because I wanted to take pictures anyway, but not necessarily go outside.  Here was the result of me standing in front of my camera on a tripod using my phone as a remote shutter.  Locations were by the front door and in the garage because there was light coming through the windows.

Interesting shadow on my face while trying to shield my eyes from the sun with my hand
More interesting light shapes from the window in the front door
More direct lighting and background distance in the garage

This one’s my favorite. Finally got the pose right.

Overall it was a pretty good time.  I’m usually not home or otherwise busy when there’s actually good lighting. I also got to update my Facebook profile picture so it wasn’t a total waste of an afternoon. 😉
