I didn't spend a lot of time with this prompt as I've already done a few photography shots of my camera and associated gear, and didn't really put much effort into thinking of more creative ways to meet the prompt. Perhaps it's just the end of the year, and the motivation starting to wane a little, or wear a little thin or it's the time of the year that is just getting busier.
Perhaps it's also that I've a heap of photos to look through and choose at the moment, as I'm doing up photo books for our grandchildren for Christmas. I'm starting to realise the value in using keywords and having a better workflow in Lightroom - I imagine it would make finding photos a whole lot easier. As you can probably imagine there are literally thousands of photos in my 2013 folder (over 12000). And while it's organised into months that doesn't really help when I'm looking for a nice photo of Oliver, for example.
What I decided to do quickly with this photo was to set up the camera looking into a mirror on a stand, so I could get a photo of the camera I use almost all the time. This is the first shot I took and I realised that I didn't get my finger away from the shutter quickly enough. I then used the self-timer on the next couple of photos. Turned out that I actually liked the one that had my finger on the shutter, as I think it tells more of the story. The white around the bottom is the mirror frame. I would have preferred to not have as much white. I did crop the image and used a couple of presets on it, but then I also made other adjustments to get the effect I wanted.
Lesson learnt: do not leave the camera strap anywhere Zimi can reach and probably put it even further away than what I think it's even remotely possible to reach! And, yes, he did get my attention.
