I took all of the photos of myself at Hill Country using my Canon Powershot G2 digital camera. The G2 has a pivoting LCD screen (scroll near the bottom of the linked page to see it) in back that permits easy handheld shots of yourself -- hold camera at arm's length, facing you, pivot the viewscreen so it's facing you, frame the shot and fire. It's guess-work when you don't have a pivoting LCD, but since you're digital a little experimentation may permit you to do the same without chopping off your own head in the photos.
