keep the flash off, make sure your battery is charged so it's less blurry!.

don't put the camera in front of your face!. hold it down a little farther!.!.!.so you can still see the picture you're taking!.

here's one of me so you can judge where the camera was and how much of myself was in the picture!.

Get a tripod, and set up your camera at an angle from the mirror!. Then stand at a place where you can see not yourself, but your camera in the mirror!. Have your camera set on a timer, or use a remote release!. Keep the angle wide enough to show the full width of the mirror!. You can crop down to get a picture without showing the mirror edges!. Try several images, and pick out the best of the bunch!. And don't forget to flip the image, so it will be a true left-to-right image, and not a mirror image!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

light travels in straight lines! so set the camera so if youre 6 oclock the camera is at about 4 oclock!.!.!. (poijnting at the mirror)

thats it!.!.!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
