self portrait

frg

finally shot myself......wife thinks this belongs in a horror gallery....




this was done with an sb600 (m 1/8) through an Ezybox hotshoe
ISO 1000 (just forgot to turn it down from the prev night rather than on purpose)
50 mm f1.8 at f14 1/250 s
PP on Capture Nx2 then Lightroom

I like it, I'm a one light portrait fan.
I was gonna say I wish the BG wasn't there but I think it woulda been OK if not for the seam or wrinkle that we are seeing the vertical line. If it were just the pattern it probably would have worked.

I like it.

f14 can be brutally sharp.

I think it is a wonderful photograph. Love the reality of it, the angle and the mood enhanced by the lighting. That it is also a self portrait makes it even better.

i love the compositon and lighting. For my taste, a little over sharp.

Some day I will try to have the nerve to do a self portrait. I hope it turns out as great as this one, good job

thank you all for taking the time to look and comment.

Kombiz - I'm always open to suggestions, but just saying I need BETTER lighting doesn't really tell me anything, would you care to elaborate?
