Over exposed?! by sarahhorsfall

Over exposed?!

I'm not one for doing self-portraits, as a rule .. so this is a bit of a leap, from avoiding them to doing a naked one!! LOL

I've been meaning to take a photo of my lovely lovely wetroom for ages, and particularly during the month of gratitude photos. I just love the space and light in there - having a shower with the sun streaming in through the skylight window, and looking out over the rooftops is lovely. I've been here a year, and the novelty is yet to wear off. So huge gratitude for that.

I've also been intending to take a photo to encapsulate my gratitude for my body and all it can do. I've spent a lot of my life being harsh and critical towards and about my body, and I'm working hard on shifting that to a perspective of love, appreciation and self-nurture.

So, not a technically brilliant photo, I know .. the bright sunshine means my face is bleached out .. but it feels like a brave and significant picture to me, so I hope that will be forgiven :)

PS - I'm going away for the weekend yet again, so again there'll be no action from me until some time next week!
love it! brave, bold, unexpected. have a great weekend :-)

I think the over-exposed face works here, actually... I think it helps emphasise the way you enjoy the light in this room. It's artistic. Well done!

well sarah , this is an unexpected image for your 365 :)

how did you manage to keep your camera dry .....i assume it was on self timer....how many takes did you need.

a man commenting on a picture of a naked lady in the shower ....needs to tread carefully ...ha ha ......lets just say it looks a nice shower and you are very brave to post the pic...oh and no tan lines from your trip to spain either !!!!!

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on this photo - it did feel like a really significant one for me.

Phil - I had the camera balanced on the door handle (it's only a little P&S), out of the way of the water and programmed it to take 10 shots at 1 second intervals. I did that twice, then went for the best of the bunch to edit and process. And as for white bits? Umm .. no comment LOL :oP

@sarahhorsfall sarah it sounds a tricky photo shoot. Glad it worked out OK

It's good to know that you were confident to post the image and i understand and respect what a 'significant moment' it must have been. No comment required regarding tan lines and white bits :)
