Craft Corner: Self Portrait Inspiration?

Original post by Sonicstef

Morning!

Im taking a photography class and one of this weeks assigments was to do a self portrait. The rules: Not allowed to use flash, not allowed to have anyone else take the photo, must use manual settings.

My original idea was to take a closeup of my eyes with hair sweeping over one of them with flowers under my nose. I tried about 10 different shots and all of them came out super blurry and unusable. I did it during the day so I dont think light was an issue. Not sure what the problem was but it may have to do with the fact it was a super closeup so i have to think of an alternative idea.

In any case, my class is tomorrow and I need to think of something I can do tonight (low light)...ideas??

do you have to use a certain or specific camera? I have a beautiful minolta with features galore (film camera) that you are welcome to borrow if you need it for classes.
