Every photo I try, I really learn something. Whether I remember it or not is another matter!
This was a 10 sec selfie but I couldn’t organise good focus with me 2 metres out, as I was pressing the button half way to focus. I think I have to use ‘focus lock’ for this?

Three good things:
1. My hair is all over the place but it hides my wrinkles.
2. Our lounge in the afternoon sun looks rather nice.
3. Red cod is much cheaper than blue cod here! And I think just as good! Both ‘bottom feeders.....that's sea bottom!

Cod comes in colour??? You stooped still for 10 seconds for This??!!

I think you done good on this

[Brennie B]

Lounge looks lovely..so do you...what a great "you" pic...

[Liana Bull]

This is very good - how one earth did you hold that pose for 10 seconds? Well done. And your hair is looking quite long and not at all over the place. It is looking so shiny too just like that sunshine.

Love,y to see your sitting room again, it's as love,y as I remember! How smooth you got this photo, not sure smooth is the word to use but it's so bright & clear & not one little bit of noise! Great pose I have no idea how you could press shutter to focus when you aren't bu the camera! Perhaps a trigger lead with a button? A fave for me maggie!
Ps I see the chair I sat in!

@happypat I pressed the shutter than stepped back into that position within 10 secs! I think it was just lucky it focused! I wonder if I could do a remote shutter release! Have to have the right remote!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae There must be a way!

[katy]

Beautiful subject! You look marvelous and so sassy! Great light in your lounge too

[Lou Ann]

Really wonderful selfie! Your sitting room is so lovely!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn I was called 'sassy' in Washington DC 50 years ago,Katy and I think it meant stroppy! I like 'sassy' nowadays!

[katy]

@maggiemae lively, bold, full of spirit, cheeky. the next word in the definition shoud be Maggiemae!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn Thanks Katy - you are too kind!

[Phil Howcroft]

turned out OK to my eyes maggie

[Bep]

Really beautiful selfie. Your lounge looks very comfortable.

[FBailey]

Both you and your lounge look great - I used to use the self timer too but remotes are much easier!

[Bankmann]

Nice to see you ‘IRL’ so to speak. Strikes me I’ve never tried autofocus pressing the remote buttom halfway down. Does that work? I don’t think my wireless remote supports that, only the wired one...

[Joy's Focus]

It's cute and colorful! I like it!

[Maggiemae]

@bankmann Not what I mean Mr B....the camera shutter half way down, not the remote. Howdedodee!

[Annie D]

a great selfie - you look wonderful - and what a lovely room

[Maggiemae]

@annied Thanks Annie - one knows how difficult it is to produce a natural smile but this activity seemed to me to be funny!

[Bankmann]

@maggiemae
I sit corrected… :-)

[Maggiemae]

@bankmann Sitting is much better than standing!

[gloria jones]

A super selfie === I like your hair and sunny smile that matches your sunny, bright home :).

[Taffy]

What fun to see you in your own setting! Looks very comfy and inviting!

[Maggiemae]

@taffy Its particularly nice with afternoon sun pouring in, Taffy! We should all do that - self photo of our surroundings.

[Taffy]

@maggiemae An intriguing idea -- could be done as a them, with a thread that would have them for easy viewing.

[Marnie]

I like this shot, you did very well. Love the sunny room, our family room's like that too.

[Pam Knowler]

Wonderful to see you smiling in that lovely setting! Great selfie!

[Diana]

A wonderful selfie and great to see what you look like, which is stunning! Your profile pic does not do you any justice ;-) Love your lounge too. I have to fav this.

[Maggiemae]

@ludwigsdiana If you get far enough back, Diana, you can't see all the wrinkles!

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic That's nice to know Marnie - I just love our open area!

[CC Folk]

You look darling, Maggiemae! And so does your lounge! :)

[Maggiemae]

@gardenfolk You are one of my favourite friends, Ms CC! Always say the nicest things!

[CC Folk]

@maggiemae Sweets to the sweet! :)

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Me too, lovely to sit in. Great to dry washing too.

[Maggiemae]

@golftragic Yes, hang them around the chair backs!

[Casablanca]

This is great fun, made me smile out loud. Well done.

[haskar]

Well done! Lovely selfie and smile. A wonderful the suuny room.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae I like that idea!

[Marnie]

@maggiemae Yep, and on the clothes rack my sodden golf gear is currently occupying.

[julia]

Nice comfy lounge... and great you get the afternoon sun .. our does as well so nice this time of year.. Love blue cod .. never had red cod .. have to look out for it ..

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro It is not red in colour but I think the skin of the red cod has a red tinge!

[Helen Jane]

Nice to see you here. I take my selfies the same way - I have no idea how any of them come out focussed. I think you are supposed to use manual focus, and then fix it - but I cant for the life of me work out how that works on my camera.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[bruni]

You're popping right out of the picture so to speak.beautiful selfie, Maggie.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

What a fun selfie! You look great and the lounge is very stylish!
