Go to the link below, type "timer" (without quotes) and read the excerpt from the record. The timer is controlled custom 2-10 seconds. For the best composition generic third eye on top of the frame. You can try several shots. The cool thing about digital images that are "Kick". For lighting, the light is much better than direct sunlight or flash. This is why you see professional photographers to bounce on external flashes. You do not end with "mug shots." Try different places at different times the day.
