“Selfie” photos are new to me. Even if I’m traveling solo, I will ask someone to take my photo. But usually I’m taking photos of other people, landscapes or things. Since acquiring a corded remote shutter release, I took some “Selfies” yesterday for the holiday in front of my Christmas tree. I purchased Lightroom 5 a few weeks ago and have been teaching myself, along with help from the internet, to utilize it. On this photo, I used the teeth whitener function, not only on my teeth (they didn’t need much), but also on my eye whites and used the skin smoothing function. It’s my new Facebook profile photo!
Also…I have great news! A local marketing company called me because they found a photo on this website and wanted to purchase it. So I sent them an invoice and a high-resolution copy of it. I’m gradually making progress. Hope you make it a great day! We’re expecting six inches of snow today!

And no chins! I always get chins with selfies. I like the sound of the cosmetic trickery. I must get to grips with Photoshop. Great photo.

That is also great news on the photo purchase. As for Lightroom 5 I am also just getting my head around it and finally worked out how to remove spots etc. There is so much to learn and I am using a book by Scott Kelby. It is quite good. Have fun and well done once more, up, up , up and away…..🎄
