I particularly enjoyed the first time I did it. Not too familiar
with the controls, forgot there even was a self-timer. . . the beeping starts.
What's that?! What's happening? Turned camera around to get good look at
the flash as it goes off in my face. This while trying to take candids at
an engagement party. The feeling is similar to the one I get when I
attempt to start my car while it's already on, and get that wonderful
grinding noise: "Hey everybody, I'm an idiot!"
