Gay.com Challenge: Take A Great Mirror Pic
Are you up for a challenge? Take this classic shot we've all tried at least once and give it a new spin. Let your imagination run wild.
The only requirement we have is you have to be holding the camera. So have fun, be creative and send your pics, along with your gay.com member name, to dating@planetoutinc.com. It's not about how cute you are but how imaginative you get.
By the way, if you want to know who the guys in the photo are, check out their profiles:
NOTE: By submitting your photo, you represent that you are 18 years of age or older, that any pictures submitted are of you alone and that you give us permission to use the photos for promotional purposes at no cost or expense to us. Thanks!
Everytime I see someone with a pic like this, this tells me theyre toos stupid to figure out how to use self timer. .Either that or they have a dinasaur cam. I mean seriously.

Haha i agree, I think it's cheesy and lame. But not everyone has photography talent ;) I am sure most of those people don't even care anyway

Please DON'T DO IT! Just don't....these are always the worst profile pics online. Cameras have self timers and you can rig up something if you don't have a tripod.

ALSO, Hey, blak guy, either pull'em up or take 'em off! Those kind of pics are really lame!!!!

If you are not going to use the camera right don't use it at all. The other one i hate is people that use cell phone cameras those . All i use my cell phone camera for is at work when i need to send a pictured to someone.

With the right composition and the correct lighting and time of exposure a mirror pic can turn out to be a great picture

WOW!, not even the author of the article is able to spell.

Anyone who uses the mirror to help take a self pic is NOT tech saavy. You guys need to read the users manual and stop looking at the drawings and learn to use your camera's right. Long live the timer!!

Sorry but mirror shots are just lame.
My shots on here are taken by me and i didn't have to rely on mirrors. Not to mention they always gotta try and use the shirtless pics, trying to show off something. The body must all they have to offer and not brains and personality. Try going by a profile is written, not just by a pic.

Oh I'm sorry Dinosaur.. whatever. Anyway most people that take a pic like this are trying to cover up their face or some kind of flaw. And you go spelling queen!
Posted by: JUST ME | April 18, 2009 at 07:30 AM
Oh and to Dina.. If you dont take care of your body dont show it off.. not a good idea. It is 90 percent of what makes a guy sexy.. admit it or not.
Posted by: JUST ME | April 18, 2009 at 07:35 AM
Ha, ha. The guy in the center uses his camera to hide his face.
If someone who's not "cute" with a good build doesn't win, I will have a heart attack, no matter what the "news" item says.
Got to love the "news" section on this website.

Respond to: "Everytime I see someone with a pic like this, this tells me theyre toos stupid to figure out how to use self timer. .Either that or they have a dinasaur cam. I mean seriously."
>>> I am not annoyed by your stupidity, but very annoyed by your ignorance and haste to slur people. Taking pics with the mirror and with self-timers are completely different (to many points to list). At least you can adjust yourself accordingly and know how it looks like.

I think that mirror pictures can be hot. My only problem with them is when guys take a picture they tend to not clean the mirror. No one wants to see how you sprayed your mirror with tooth paste or what ever it might be.
Posted by: Chuckey | April 18, 2009 at 11:44 AM
And clean the damn mirror!
Nothing worse than a hot photo with drips and streaks all over it from the mirror's soap, shaving cream, popped zits, toothpaste, saliva, cum, and whatever bodily fluids accumulate on mirrors these days.

The ones that get me are the ones that look like the people are more interested in the camera and not the mirror...by the way, there are other ways of taking the pic with you in it and not have the pic visible, it is called CROPPING IMAGE...no, really, you have the camera off to the side far enough and after crop the camera off...oh, also, if you can flip the picture so that it is backward you will be a non mirror image. AND USE WINDEX ON THE DAMNED MIRROR FIRST!!!!

A photo is about the person -- not how it's taken. Some people are not into cameras or taking that perfect shot. Perhaps because they know that the photo is not an ad for a product. Anyone that says oh that's not true, and I'm sure some will say that, might want to rethink what they are looking for when interacting with people. Almost every comment posted is what people don't like in photos -- how about what you DO like? Me... I like a warm smile. :)

90% of what makes a guy sexy is his body? Hrmmmm. yeah I suppose for 90% of the shallow homosexuals that have overrun mainstream media. 90% of what makes a guy sexy is his brain, heart, personality, etc. I wonder what these people do when Father Time gets ahold of these guys eventually anyways. Surely, not all of em have 300,000 dollar a year jobs. Or maybe they just keep racking up constant debt to keep up with gay Joneses.

Should i try then?? hehe.. might b fun! :)

Let me restate everything I wrote.
1) ALL of the models/real persons/gay.com members in the stated story are abfab! I would kill to have the metabolism they do.
2) I do understand that there are some people that don't understand camera usage. I will grant that to them.
3) Why does it always seem the cutest of the bunch have the hardest time taking a photo of themselves. If I were as cute and all together Charmin squeezably soft as they seem, then why don't they have their friends take their pictures. Better camera angles, better lighting, better positioning of the camera and the body. You can even sit on a chair seductively wearing as much, or as little as, you can handle showing more of an outline.
just something to think about
