why is it that when you view yourself in the mirror, you look bigger than viewing yourself personally, or... in pictures? anyone know?

[GG1]

because pictures are smaller...if you blew them up to body proportions, you would look just as big

[GG1]

and sometimes, you see things better in person then in pics..like me for instance...i have pretty good definition..but it really doesnt show too good in pics...also your body color could be the reason...like me im white bread, and if i was darker i would appear larger and more defined

[Mr. Perfect]

haha white bread, i would classify myself as that as well. haha. thanks gg1. my cousins telling me you're going to get into the madden thing with us?

[Beefcake]

To me, I look bigger when I see my self in pictures then in the mirror. Given I can't really "meet" myself, but I think I look bigger when I see myself in pictures or when I see myself in a video.

[Mr. Perfect]

and you too beefcake, you going to be playing madden online with me, my cousin, and gg1?

[Beefcake]

Pictures do not convey 3 dimensions well at all [obviously].
Mirrors do.
Also the lighting in a photo is very important to create depth.
If the lighting is wrong the object in the photo can look flat.
Ken777 had a thread a while back on photography called "Its all in the lighting"
