Photos by Brufiki

I was recently invited to join WeeklyShot.org by Mark Kitaoka. WeeklyShot is a photo challenge site; each week, the site runs a new challenge theme. The entries are kept anonymous during the challenge and are rated by the other site participants, with the highest rated images being featured on the home page.

I took this image for the Self Portrait 2 theme on WeeklyShot. After setting up the shot on my tripod, I used my wireless remote on a two-second time delay and then quickly got into position. My wife stood behind the camera and flashed the scene as I got into each position during a long exposure. We made several attempts, and this was the best image.

I am continually amazed by the talent of the photographers on WeeklyShot, and was excited when the image was featured on the site.
