7 Days:Day 4 – Handstand #64
In case you were thinking of attempting a photo of yourself doing a handstand, just follow these simple instructions:
- Change out of work clothes into jeans and Chuck Taylors, even though no one will be able to tell you are wearing Chuck Taylors
- Optional: if you’re wearing a white shirt with a black bra, change into a bra of a less trampy color (I missed this step)
- Set your camera on a stool because you are too lazy to get the tripod out of your trunk
- Turn on your camera’s remote timer and grab the remote trigger thingee
- Stand still and pose for a photo to set the focus
- Press the remote and wait for the shutter to click. Don’t forget to smile!
- Take note of where you are standing before walking to check the photo on your camera’s LCD
- If you are in focus in the shot, your setup is done. If not, fiddle around with the camera a bit and go back to step number 5
- Switch the camera to manual focus
- Return to your original spot and press the remote button
- Quickly do a handstand, flinging the remote across the lawn in the process
- When you hear the shutter click, you can put your feet back on the ground
- Run to the camera to check the shot
- Notice that your handstand was not at all perpendicular to the ground
- Walk back to the grass and realize you cannot find the remote
- Crawl around on the grass looking for the remote, forgetting that grass makes you itch everywhere
- Eventually find your remote about 5 feet away from where you did the handstand
- Repeat from step number 10 just 62 more times
- See? Easy!
