Me Every Week! Monday 12-18 September: Levitation!

September 12th, 2011
This is the ninth official Monday of this challenge!
Make a self-portrait every week, based on a new theme.
The new theme will be posted on Monday.

This last week was different, there was a bit of a competition and an un-democratic vote by me made e.gad ( @egad ) our first winner! Erin made a really emotional picture:

I loved how we all showed a wide variety of emotions!

This weeks selfies must be based on e.gad's choice: Levitation!
I think this is a bit of a hard one for the photoshop-challenged people like me, but I think we can jump!

And this weeks selfies are again also date-restricted. You only can take and post them until late saturday evening or Sunday morning, depending on where you live!

You can post your self-portrait in this thread and tag it with monday-sp9.
Oh, and due to a new competition-idea, this week ends somewhere on Sunday 18 September, when e.gad will pick the winner.

Have fun!!! I'm sure we will look in higher roams this week.

Cool, I love levitation shots, great idea! I'll see if I can find some inspiration as well somewhere this week :-)
September 12th, 2011
Haven't tried levitation at all... will see how I go health-wise this week... whether my body will let me...

@tashachawner You can also use a stool if you're not up to jump around.. I've done so in the past and it makes levitation a lot easier! I've used one for this shot http://365project.org/elke/365/2011-07-10 ...and this is a you-tube video tutorial in which they used one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHpV2PXTjiE

Great theme! Congrats @egad!
September 12th, 2011
I've been wanting to do one of these - so I am excited!
September 12th, 2011
@elke Is it just a matter of cloning out the stool then? I probably won't be partaking in this week's selfie as I was signed off work with a bad back this week :oS I do however look forward to seeing all your fab photos :o)
September 12th, 2011
@psychographer Well the you-tube video explains all ;-)
Here's my first
September 12th, 2011
@elke I may well give this a try at some point...just not this week ;o) xx
September 12th, 2011
@psychographer who says it has to be all of you? Maybe make your hand or foot levitate while you stay still (kinda dis-embodied)?
September 12th, 2011
@shadesofgrey True, but pain coupled with being out of it on strong drugs means I probably won't be taking any photos this week let alone ones where I'm levitating ;o)
September 12th, 2011
@psychographer ohhhh, well I bet the drugs will give you some great visions, I mean ideas for levitation photos! Hope you feel better soon.
September 12th, 2011
This is my first try ever, floating in the garden!

September 12th, 2011
An other one (I love levitation and will grab the opportunity, so let's say I'll be floating around the house a lot this week lol)
September 12th, 2011
Wow! Levitation will be a HUGE challenge for me, but I will give it a try...
September 12th, 2011
Sorry but I can't stop floating ;-)
September 13th, 2011
This is beyond me! Will be interesting to see everyone's shots.
September 13th, 2011
Darling! Where's my briefcase? I'm late for work!!!

September 13th, 2011
Going crazy over here (in a good way LOL)


September 13th, 2011
I haven't given up but this one may be beyond me! All I have seen so far are amazing!
September 13th, 2011
I did this one today, jumping!



A man came to me and told me that he could take a picture with me in it. Really kind, but this had to be a selfie! I politely turned the offer down...
September 13th, 2011
My take... :D

@grammyn @debsphotos please don't be put off. the editing kind of levitaion (where you take a photo of yourself standing on e.g. a stool, and then remove the stool in the post-processing) is completely beyond me (i have zero technical skills), so i just put my camera on self timer and jumped! give it a try!
