Your challenge this weekend is to take and share a photo of you with your camera.

Yep – it’s self portrait time – but we want to not only see you (or part of you – you can have some anonymity if you prefer) but also your prize and joy – your camera (whatever it might be).

To take it you might need to set yourself up in front of a mirror (although I’m sure those of you with two cameras could do it differently). Don’t just take a rushed shot – this is a photographic assignment. Think about composition, your background, lighting etc. As you’ll see from some of the examples in yesterdays post – these kinds of shots can be quite creative and say a lot about you.

Once you’ve taken your best “Self Portrait” image, upload it to your favourite photo sharing site and either share a link to it below or embed it in the comments using the our new tool to do so. Please note it sometimes takes us a while to approve comments with images as there’s a moderation queue – particularly over the weekend.

If you tag your photo on Flickr, Twitter or other sites with Tagging tag it as #DPSMYCAMERAANDI to help others find it. Linking back to this page might also help others know what you’re doing so that they can share in the fun.

PS: don’t forget to check out some of the great photos shared last week in the ‘My Favorite Subject’ challenge.
