But even without colored walls it's difficult. Before my closet is definitely the easiest, but the better pictures might be worth the move into the kitchen. We'll see.</p> <p>Thanks Eva! I'll have to try that, maybe it makes a difference. I don't even have a remote. I never needed it before, I just used the self timer. I don't think the original one for my camera is even available anymore, although I guess I'd find a solution if I would look into it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1391063 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 22:38:35 +0000 E 1391063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why this is your favourite outfit: it looks great on you! And so cosy.&nbsp;I want to steal it. ;)</p> <p>Since I moved, I've been too lazy to bother w doing my remote, so I'm back to using the self-timer. If I switch my focus to the face one, I usually end up in focus, through some kind of camera magic. Have you tried that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1391031 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 21:50:05 +0000 Suz 1391031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely colour on you Astrid, and thanks for taking the trouble to find a new spot. It is difficult, I know. Our house has tiny rooms and it can also be very hard to get a good full length shot, which is why I always default to the same place. I used to do it in the kitchen but the yellow walls are death to my complexion and interfered with colours even more than the green wall of our bedroom. And no neutral walls anywhere! :)&nbsp;</p> <p>I should have a motto. Neutrals: wear them, don't decorate with 'em. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390972 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 20:53:14 +0000 Astrid 1390972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sharan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390932 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:57:49 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1390932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your favorite outfit, Astrid! So classic and polished. You did a really nice job on the photo, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390928 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:53:56 +0000 Astrid 1390928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Alasse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390754 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:41:39 +0000 Alassë 1390754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new picture spot is good, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390732 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 16:14:08 +0000 Astrid 1390732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Kelly and Lisa!</p> <p>Meredith, I think I'll try that if the trick with the door doesn't work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390666 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 15:30:14 +0000 Lisa 1390666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plaids are always fun. &nbsp;I always enjoy WIW photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390653 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 15:24:07 +0000 Meredith 1390653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like this spot you can try putting a little piece of colored tape (or something similar) on the wall. That worked well for me the one time I tried to do pictures with my dslr. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390647 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 15:19:20 +0000 kellygirl 1390647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic Astrid! Love it, of course. You look terrific! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390607 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:32:17 +0000 Astrid 1390607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Deborah, Style Fan and Shevia!</p> <p>Thanks Neel! I used one of my kitchen chairs. But of course that isn't quite the best method, it would have been better to have something on level with my face... I was just thinking that I could have used the open door, then close it then place myself in the spot. If that works it might be possible to permanently move my spot, it would be nice to get more accurate pictures after all. </p> <p>Thanks Meredith! The way things are now placed would work too, so I think I could continue to take my pics in this spot, if I figure something out for the autofocus. I'd have to move my laundry basket before I take pics, but that's easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390577 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:52:38 +0000 Meredith 1390577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so intimidated by the photo challenge. So much work! Thanks for taking it on and reorganizing your flat this morning! It is nice to see you in this lighting. It's much easier to appreciate how the sweater and skirt coordinate. YLF. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390559 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 13:13:50 +0000 Neel 1390559@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know that *nothing to catch with autofocus* issue! I used to move DS's bike to the wall, focus, click on timer, run, move bike and pose like nothing happened lol!</p> <p>Great efforts and outfit Astrid! You look cute and chic as always! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390534 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 12:12:27 +0000 Jaime 1390534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390524 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:09:07 +0000 Style Fan 1390524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love simple, neutral outfits.&nbsp; You look great.&nbsp; Your hair is beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390520 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 11:03:54 +0000 Deborah 1390520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute outfit.

It's not a jersey, but wool. I bought it in Scotland this summer. And yes, I totally love my side part too. It made such a difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390514 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:55:44 +0000 ramya 1390514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing a same jersey today Astrid I love this side partition on you. You look awesome!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/pmwiw-challenge-2#post-1390506 Wed, 05 Nov 2014 10:37:46 +0000 Astrid 1390506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's my second contribution. I thought I'd take the pictures today when I'm wearing my favourite outfit of the moment. It just makes sense to get some better pictures. </p> <p>I've moved my picture taking spot to the kitchen, where I have much brighter lamps (my whole flat is rather dark). It was quite the hassle to take the pictures though, I had to move some stuff to make the free space. My flat is small and it's difficult to find a spot so that the tripod is far enough away for a full length picture. And there was nothing for the autofocus to catch with the white wall (no remote-control release). </p> <p>Anyway, I did manage it... Hair is still slightly damp, but I wanted to take the pictures now instead of in the evening. I'll have to hurry now... sorry to post and run.</p> <p><a href="http://dict.leo.org/#/search=release&amp;searchLoc=0&amp;resultOrder=basic&amp;multiwordShowSingle=on" rel="nofollow"></a> </p>
