Another 50mm attempt

as you can tell by the reversal this was taken looking into a mirror - the one that you pluck your eyebrows on a stand ohh I look terrible in this mirror type mirror - the lens is quite old and manual focus only - bought for the camera my dad gave me many moons ago. My eyes are shocking when it comes to manual focus but I think I am getting marginally better as time goes on - for Mr Sayers Back to Basics

[Sally Ings]

Now this is the kind if selfie I can handle!

[Annie D]

@salza hahahahaha I liked this one best for various reasons but do have some with my eyes showing lol

[Graeme Stevens]

Fair enough. That's a view I can handle ;)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens EXCUSE ME!

[Derek Vickers]

Back to basics indeed Annie. Always a good starting point. Love you words, love the image.

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied Oh i do. Every day. ;)

[Annie D]

@derekvickers thank you Derek :)

[Annie D]

@graemestevens Ha Ha Ha
oh now I am LOL

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied :))

[Annie D]

@graemestevens I am thankful I am excused LOL - I am often not hahahaha

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied I find that I need excusing a lot as well, so anyone who is in the same position is fine by me.

[Julie Urbahn]

My life seems to be full of excuses and excusing.

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hahahahahaha all is good then

[Maggiemae]

Excuses are only a reason for behaving as one does! The colours within the lens are interesting!

[Annie D]

@graemestevens @jules13 makes life fun hahahahaha

[Annie D]

@maggiemae thank you - they are - I was outside so they would come from the plants sky etc

[Sam]

I think one with your eyes would be nice to see!!!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower I am sure you will although in the ones taken with this one they are blurred - i tried to get the focus on them rather than the lens but my dicky eyesight hahahahaha

[Sam]

@annied Maybe you were using @graemestevens new lensbaby if it was blurred.........and then we could have had some banter about how I continue to be as blind as a bat and see everything as blurry, including those damn lensbaby shots!!! HAHA

[Graeme Stevens]

@gigiflower @annied Maybe if you tried a lensbaby, particularly with your visual impairment, everything. Would be in focus...just thinking out loud...

[Annie D]

@gigiflower I will be the owner of a lensbaby in about a month - hahahaha - how do you get your photos so sharp if you are blind as a bat - I have trouble and my glasses only usefull if I use live view which I am not really partial to

[Annie D]

@graemestevens hahahahahaha that is a thought it may indeed work @gigiflower

[Graeme Stevens]

@annied @gigiflower Auto-focus, tool of the blind...

[Sam]

@annied @graemestevens Your thinking out loud Mr S is quite silly so please no more of that! Lucky for me, we have technology called AUTO focus so I use that a lot!!!!!! The lens sees more than I do ;) And then I cross my fingers!

[Sam]

@graemestevens @annied JINX JINX JINX - I think you have taken over my body and mind. Just please don't force me into wearing skivvy's

[Graeme Stevens]

@gigiflower @annied Once I'm inside your head it's all over. You will never again be in full control...who knows what could come out of your mouth at an inconvenient moment...

[Loopy-Lou]

My kind of selfie, just love hiding behind the camera, best sort of shot of me!

[Sam]

@graemestevens @annied Scared? No. Not scared of a "man" who wears action sandals and skivvys! WHATEVER TWAT BOLLOCKS!!!!!!!!!

[Annie D]

@gigiflower @graemestevens good old auto focus - yes
one thing I am sure of - if you are inside my head you are the one that needs to beware hahahaha

[Annie D]

@bizziebeeme there are many out there just like you hahahaha

[Richard Sayer]

Well this is a different take Annie - as I have said several times, for me this month, learning takes precedence over the resulting image. We don't learn when we do things right, we only learn through our mistakes: the more mistakes you make, the more you learn.

[Annie D]

@vignouse well I have trouble with manual focus and also framing in live view so I was trying to frame a reasonable composition with focus on the words - this is it - then I tried to get the focus on my eyes or glasses - I couldn't manage that

[Ivan]

Love it, love cameras!

[Sarah]

I have one of those mirrors too ha ha

[Gerry]

great capture

[Danny G.]

Nice SOOC image
