These self portraits were a total failure. I was inspired by the "weird weather in Texas" photo assignment. I knew we had fake snow in the classroom, so I took it and tried to take a picture of myself "playing" in the snow, with a very green background. This would've been the best photo, had it been in focus where it was supposed to. Self portraits are SO hard to focus though, especially when you don't have anything to place in your spot. The focus is more on my hands, I think. Regardless, I need to be more prepared. I didn't have a tripod, so I used my fence post instead.
Something that would be useful is finding a way to know where to focus without being behind the camera. Maybe put a mark where I was standing when it was in focus or something. I was slightly under exposed too. I should've used a flash on this photo. Probably would've stopped the action of the "snow" better.
