This challenge is not about a selfie taken on your iPhone. However those iPhone users can learn very good techniques by following some of the tips in this challenge.
One of your self portraits must include something related to the coronavirus and what is happening in your own personal space.
My suggestions for self portrait set up include:
backdrop
at least one external flash or strobe
camera mounted on tripod
use of remote trigger or self toner mode on camera. I set my camera for nine shots with a three second pause between shots which will assure my strobes recycling time and a different pose
manual focus on a pre-designated spot
F-11 or even more shut down to improve chance of in focus
Use of 1 or more external props
take many shots for a better chance of getting the exact shot you want
For drama try a black backdrop
Points awarded for participation in this challenge:
Five points for three or more submitted photos using at least six of the techniques previously defined
One point for one submitted photo
10 points for best self portrait of the group. I get to be the judge and jury LOL
