Selfies With Pets: Three Dogs, A Cat & A Cockatoo #DogwoodWeek1 Self Portrait

1/9/2016

Typist: Bethany
The 52 Snapshots of Life Photo Challenge last year did a lot to keep me blogging consistently, motivate new pet adventures and encourage imaginative photography during a very tough year for me personally. Although we made it through 2015 with no deaths in the family and I am settling into a good groove of making time for my new job and blogging, I decided to seek out a new photo challenge for 2016 to keep my pet adventures and the photographic documentation of those outings creative and fresh. After a lot of searching, the most inspirational photo challenge I found is the Dogwood Photography 52 Week Photography Challenge. It's week one and I have already been extremely challenged!
 Dogwood Photography Photo Challenge Week 1, Portrait: Self Portrait
"Start things off right with a 'selfie'! Explore the self timer setting on your camera."

The first thing that appealed to me about the week one challenge is that I have never explored the self timer on my camera. Secondly, I have been wanting to try a fun selfie with myself and all five pets. Until discovering this photo challenge, it had never occurred to me that the timer would be the best way to capture some me and three, four and five pets fun. The photos could have been better composed, angled and lit, but for a bunch of pets and a human that have been relatively sedentary for the last week because the human has a few separated and fractured ribs, I think we did pretty good. And at the least, we got out and had fun together. That is always the point!

Those selfies are so cute! Selfies are hard even under the best circumstances so good for you for trying!

Also, ouch!! What did you do to yourself? Yikes! I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks Lauren. I had been wanting to try this for a while so I am glad I had the photo challenge push to do it.

I slipped on ice in the parking lot after skiing the day before NYE. I am healing but it's boring! I was finally able to solo walk the dogs just yesterday.

Now why am I not surprised that you could pull off a selfie with all 5 pets? I'm lucky if I can get a decent one with one of the pets..LOL. Great job!
So sorry to hear you've been laid up...hope you have a speedy recovery!

It's fun to see some closeups of the face behind the camera/voice! These are really fun and cute shots. I'm definitely in agreement over the 2015 year being tough. Here's to a better year ahead!

I love these photos! The fact that you can get everyone to cooperate for a selfie is pretty amazing! :)

I don't know if you saw the monthly challenge I'm doing this year, but I'd love for you to check it out and link up! There's still time to add your post before the blog hop closes this Thursday night, then we'll be doing it again on the second Friday of February! :)
