Week two – 52 weeks of self-portraits

I’m on my second week on my 52 weeks of self-portraits and this time I wanted to show of my RC helicopter flying skills, or lack off 🙂

I wanted a portrait of me and the chopper where the chopper was in focus and I was just “hovering” in the background. And for a long time it seems I wouldn’t be able to do it.

There were quite a few challenges.

1. How do I hide the “clutter” in my little apartment.
2. How do I get proper lighting.
3. And of course how do I get the little chopper to hover just right in focus as the image was shot.

After a load of thinking, trying and I guess a bit of luck I got this one shot that ended up just like I wanted it, so I’m really happy at the moment.
