This confuses me. Can anyone explain it?

Status: offline 		I wonder if you can make it take many shots in a row at 10 seconds apart, that way if you miss the first shot you can be ready for the next one. My camera has a setting where it makes beeping sounds which I have muted. Perhaps you may have a beep warning giving you a 2 second notice for the next picture.

Mine has I think a 12 second period.  What i have done in the past when taking a photo of myself is to get into the pose first without worrying about taking the photo.  Sort of like a practice pose.  Then when you get the position you want, go turn on your timer and get back into your position.  It might save some squirming around time, as you already know how you want to position yourself and have already done it.  I am working on some new shots too and am definately not skilled with a camera or with posing.  I came up with the idea ( Im not the first to think of this, Im sure) of putting a mirror next to the camera, so you can see exactly how you are positioned and you can make small adjustments before the timer goes off.  I'm going to give this a shot and see how it turns out.  I usually end up looking like a total doofus, so I'm hoping this helps.

Status: offline 		hey marie,

that is a great idea. normally i just keep taking the shots over and over until i like what i get. last time i was something like 2 hours taking 6 pictures. i bet that mirror thing would really work well too. i will have to try that tomorrow. i just aint gonna mess with it no more tonight. it took about 6 trys just to get a semi decent shot of my tat. ack.. i am over it.

thank you
lee
