I tried these recently as I had some new lighting gear to play with. Thoughts?

    Nice work on thye lighting. I think the framing hurts the second image though it might be a better capture. I really dig the first image though. Nicely framed (cropped) and well lit.

    1st one for me also. Very nice shot and athmosphere.
    Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
    That saved a wretch like me!

    Was blind, but now I see.

    I think you did a great job, especially with #1.

    Selfportraits are very hard to do right.

    I agree, first one's okay thumb.gif while second one is to be forgotten. The frame is an issue, indeed. Should try the same pose with a vertical frame, maybe. ne_nau.gif
    have a quick look at my portfolio (there's a photolog, too) :: (11-07-2006) experiencing a new flash portfolio. What do you think?

    How would you frame the second - just switch to Portrait or something else?
