    sees what he's up against… slinks of again quietly

    But before I do... How is it possible to do this??

    I suspect it's to do with the auto-focus not kicking in before the timer goes off, but how?

      MP that's a new high, even for you :).

      I think it's focused close to the camera, not past you, as if it was infinity, something would be in focus. As such, it's focused on something before you got in front - correct. My SLR's focus at the moment the self-timer's engaged. What camera do you use? I'd like to nut out the problem 🙂

          Answered; it focuses when the self timer button is depressed, not when it takes the photo;

          Same problem I had with my SLR's which is why an IR remote comes in handy.

          is a $20 solution

            PS I don't understand who on earth would ever want to focus at the moment self-timer was set….

                When pressing the shutter release, make sure you are not in the field of vision.  Use Aperture Priority and set for smallest aperture (largest F number).  Or guesstimate distance from camera to where you will be and set to manual focus at that distance….

                            For Rafa:
                            After debating with myself for a year, I bought me a new camera. I wanted a small camera with a high image quality. In the end I had to decide between the Fuji X100s and the Ricoh GR. A retailer had both cameras, so I could compare them side by side.
                            I went with the Ricoh. It´s a fixed lens, APSC size sensor, compact camera. I think it´s the smallest APSC camera on the market. It fit in a IH westernshirt pocket. For this size, the image quality is amazing. Full review on dpreview: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/ricoh-gr .
                            Here some pics:

                                  Was anticipating that reached out to my wife and they won't offer discounts on the GR. Bastards!!!!

                                        That´s the point, I really love your pics but I never would carry around a DSLR as my daily camera.
                                        The good thing for us selftimer shooters is the fixfocus mode, where you can set the focus distance and a customizable selftimer, where you can set time and number of pics.
                                        I also like the in-camera-raw-processing and the effects.

                                        @derivative666: Here some high ISO pics. AF in low light is useful but not really fast.
                                        ISO 1600

                                        ISO 3200

                                        ISO 6400

                                        If you want really amazing low light performance, you have to go with a Fuji X 100s.

                                          Been shooting with a Leica M8 800 ISO max. The GR will make a great substitute. Because if it doesn't fit in my pocket. I will most likely not be carrying it.  Urb mentioned the X100S to me as well but, it's significantly larger then GR.  You all know what they say "the best camera is the one you have on you"
