Image by andres.thor This weekend’s photography challenge is to take a picture of yourself and your camera. We’ve all seen these kinds of self portraits – usually taken with the help of a mirror – yes they can be a little cliche but I thought they might also be fun. Firstly they’ll help us put faces to one another’s names but secondly they’ll give us a quick visual snapshot of the type of cameras our community is using. So grab your camera, find a mirror, plan a shot that not only fulfils the theme of ‘my camera and I’ but also is a visually pleasing portrait – and take your shot. PLEASE NOTE : We’re looking for ‘ new ‘ shots (or shots taken in the last few days) – this is a challenge rather than a look through your archives for a shot! This is about inspiring you to take more photos, not just showing off what you’ve already taken – we have a ‘ share your shots ‘ section in our forum for showing other shots you’ve taken so please do use that section for that purpose. Once you’ve taken your photos – choose your best 1-2, upload them to your favourite photo sharing site either share a link to them even better – embed them in the comments using the our new tool to do so
