I wanted to see what I could pull off with as little as possible.
So, I closed my curtains down to about 14 inches and threw up a chiffon panel to diffuse the light, stuck a 48 inch black pop up reflector on a stand as my background and set my 50mm to 1.8-2.8 in attempt to diffuse the wrinkles on the background.
Self portraits wide open are a nightmare to focus, I knew this before I started. I did it anyways- I'm not sure what this action says about mental status. :giggle: It's likely that I don't want to know the answer to this.
I will probably try this exercise again sometime with a longer lens, on a subject I can properly direct, frame and focus, and perhaps get some better results.
