When you get your picture taken, are you happy with the results?
Does it really look like you?
The you you recognize in the mirror?

When I look in the mirror, I think I don't look to bad for my age.
But, when I get my picture taken!!!!thumbdown
I had 10 pictures made of me. Only one seems good enough to put on MyLot.
Even this picture does not seem like me as I see me. [em]woot[/em]
Anyway it is the real me, no make overs. lol

What about you? Do you like the results you get from your pictures of you?

I like them some of the time.. But I do take a lot of horrid pictures. Plus the fact that sometimes when I go back to what I used to consider good pictures I see all sorts of flaws lol. Well., whatever. as long as you get to enjoy a picture somehow I suppose.

It's such a shame. and people tell me i'm photogenic.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

If people tell you you are photogenic, then there must be something there.
I had a horror picture once. It was so horrible that we were all wondering who it was.
Really, it was unrecognizable. It was like a horror movie.
Then we looked closer and saw the markings that I have on my face.
It had to have been ME!!!!
It was scary!!w00t

Hello Margajoe!!!
Well the picture we see with the photograph is more accurate to how actually we look than the image in the mirror. Because in the mirror, your image is just opposite. That is the right part of you become the left part of your image and the left part become the right part in the image. I forgot what term is used for this translation. Anyway, what i mean to say is clear. But in the photograph, there is no such translation. And therefore give more accurate picture about how we look.
We can't see our real face easily. Only in the photographs you can see how you really look. Sometimes, I wonder I could see myself like I am seeing other hehe...But that is not possible...
And about the picture, that really depends on how good the picture come it. Sometimes, the pictures look bad that how we actually are and sometimes the picture come out very nice than how we are isn't. So there are good pictures as well as bad pictures. So, I can't say that the pictures don't like me. If I have to say I don't like my pictures, that means to say that I don't like my face...
Interesting discussion Margajoe...keep posting...Happy mylotting... thumbup


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Thanks.
But, I really like to beleive it is the mirror that is right. w00t
If I look so much like my pictures, I am not happy. sad
Sure, some are okay, I am no beauty queen and don't expect to be.
But, one person also said it had something to do with the light?
Maybe it also has something to do with the person making the picture.
Have you ever seem pictures of Madonna?
Personally I think she is ugly in real life. But her pictures are beautiful.
Maybe photo shops???happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. nzalheart (991)   ranked 1,571 out of 3,175 in me  6 months ago

Yes, light also plays a major role in taking photographs. It totally affects how we are going to look on the photos. Like the shadows of our forheard, hair over the sides of eyes making face darker at some points and brighter at some points. When the side of light is perfect, the picture comes to be best. And about Madonna, they are taken by good photographers. I am sure you will also look very nice if they took your photograph. They know which pose you should look better and from which angle and how the photograph is to be taken. That is the art of photography...
Sorry for late reply, I was away from mylot for some days...
Happy mylotting... thumbup

Betweem picture anda the original form sometimes really no same. So often we are cozenage, for example out face i moment photo appears young or even older, but another person form see the original form obvious much older. So thats's picture sometimes disagree with original form.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Yes that is true.
I think some of my pictures make me look very old.
Then again some make me look very young.
But, I don't often have a picture that I really like. happy

I have gained weight, but in my pictures I look like I gained twice as much! hahaha!
Funny how children and babies always look good in pictures.

For about a year,I had no pictures taken,because I'm fatter than before,nearly 20 pound,I can't recive the pictures myself in the mirror,but later,once in a while,I read a tip on the internet,it's about how to make perfect self-shots,I tried it,and
I was successful,I found it just a question of angle,it really made yourself look wonderful, and you can have a try!


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Matter of angle? Yes, that would make sense. I will have to try that.
Good idea. thumbup

for some i do like the results. some i don't
often the pictures taken were amateur photos so i do not expect much.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Yes that is true, amateur pictures are not as nice as professional pictures.
Your picture is very nice. You look younger than 30! That must have been a professional picture?happy

Haha,I think I am a beautiful lady,but most fo the photos are not satisfying,so lot of photos have been deleted.I think the one in the mirror looks like me,but photos,they may be fuzzy.haha!


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

The photo as your avatar is fuzzy. lol
I do recognize you are on a horse.
I don't think I am beautiful, I am just a normal kind of person.
But, I don't look as bad as some of my pictures . w00t

I have had many pictures taken that I have looked at later and thought, "UGH! I look horrible!" Then, I have had some taken that I really do look nice. I think it all depends on the scenery and the pose that I am in. If I am sitting down, slumped on my couch, I will not look nearly as good as I will if I am standing straight. So, I have plenty of pictures that I think look nothing like the way I really feel and those that I think make me look better.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Yes, a nice scenery would help too.
A good pose is also important.
Funny how the mood also has influence on our pictures. happy

i take some of the most awful pictures alive! i swear if there was an award i would win it. but of course i do look better in person then in pictures so i like to blame the photographer haha i know its cynical but oh well and it is my fault anyways for not knowing how to take good pictures but its not like there's a course to show you how to take good pictures right? or is there..... lol oh well hopefully we both have better luck with pictures in the future. cheers.


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Cheers!hahahaha!
Yes I hope we have better luck too.
But one thing I do not agree with. You stated that you would win the award for
the most awful picture???
I think I would win that one. w00t w00tw00t

Some of my friends told me that I am photogenic and teligenic. And don't agree with it, maybe because I love pictures and I always practice to smile. So I made a perfect smile in all shots. I like all of my pictures except when I'm pregnant I am fat and my face look like a pizza without toppings!


myLot reputation of 89/100. Margajoe (2140)   ranked 10 out of 3,175 in me  7 months ago

Pizza??? w00t
Being pregnant is always beautiful in my opinion.
I try to smile in pictures too, but then my eyes look funny. hahaha!
Somehow my nose always looks bigger than it really is. (I hope)lol
