I point the camera at me
But I cannot see the display
screen.
There is a mirror in my room,
But I do not want to use the mirror
As it doubles the distance (that's also a false distance).
I can go for some blind shootings - may be experimental, per se,
(as it always seems to be when one shoots the self).
Then the next problem was there:
When clicked from lesser distance,
My face appears like a reflection on a convex lens.
The face looks elliptical - what I do not like.
A certain distance is ever sought for a good click,
-from the object, from the subject.
The length of my stretched arm is a distance
That might fit for the distance I'm looking for.
But again, I cannot click stretching my arms to their extreme extends.
I need to bend a bit to hold the camera and to press the button.
And that bent decreases the distance from the camera to me
Which annoys me.
Shooting the self was, thus, perhaps, never easy, ever.
