Decided to stop hiding behind the camera and put some of my newly learned strobist skills to work on a self portrait.

How did I do?

Technical Details: 2 flashes to the left and right at 1/64 power. SB-600 on the floor in front of me behind a 42" diffusser at 1/64 power (the diffuser ate some of the light). Nikon 55-200mm VR at 55mm.

    I hope you failed to capture the real you. This photo looks like it should be in the dictionary under serial killer. :D

    I think it is very well executed. I like the lighting, and side lighting like this does deliver a dramatic look. Perhaps too dramatic from the previous poster.

    I like it, but it may portray a more sinister look than you expected.
