“ Self-portrait on fire ”
At my parent's house 11:30PM in their side yard taking self-portraits with a speedlight. Not sure what the neighbors think. It's buggy humid and very dark out except for the streetlight that blinks off and on. They live on a deadend close to some woods so it's a little creepy.

    Pretty damn good for first! To help for selfies next time, even if it's dark, get something like a styrofoam head on a light stand, put it where you want to stand (put something on the ground where you want to stand for when you move it) shine a light on it and focus, then turn off your auto focus on your camera and lens (this is called locking in your focus) then you go stand where you focused and take the shot.  It should be in focus.  It is a hit or miss process, but doing it this way creates more hits.   Wonderful job Tami!
