KR,
I am not a very accomplished photographer but here is exactly what I did to get a good full body shot.
First I set my camera on a small table and focused it on the white bench that stood about 15 feet away.
Next I set the 10 second delay timer and walked over to the bench to pose.
I would do this three times and pick the clearest / best photo
Most of the time the photo was off center but this doesn't matter, all I want is clear photo that has my whole body in it.
After uploading my pictures to my computer I use the simple program that comes with the Cyber-shot camera to do a little editing.
First I crop the image so that I am centered and get rid of the large expanse of background around me and then I play with the colors a little bit to darken the picture (colors seem to wash out a bit when photographed outside). If the picture has any red eye I remove it last and save the picture.
I hope this was of help
Cheers
Jamie
