Focussing for self portraits
As I attempted to work on a self portrait yesterday, I realized that I can't actually press the shutter button while posing for a picture (duh!), and so getting the camera to focus clearly on me is tricky. I've thought about putting some object where I'm going to be sitting and using it to focus on before sitting down, but that doesn't seem like it would be very precise. Having just spent all my $ on my new DSLR, I don't want to buy a remote yet (although I don't think they're very expensive...?). Any suggestions on how to make the focus more manageable would be appreciated!
