Post a picture of yourself

Lots of 'firsts' here... First attempt of using some studio lighting I recently acquired, (Actually got the things working!! ) and - first attempt at a self portrait.. (Only at the insistance of my wife :grumpy:

) Other than "Lose the hat", any comments would be welcome..

Thanks,

Nice hat.

And nice lighting. You did really well creating the main light, and then having either your secondary fill in on your left (our right) or your reflector filling there. You've avoided having that harsh shadow from the nose fall across the left cheek. And while the eyes are somewhat shaded by the brim, they're not obscured, and you've retained the catchlights in both eyes. Or maybe your left eye's catchlight is really from your glasses, but nonetheless, it's there and effective.

Hey Otter, I'm just want to echo what John had to say. Nicely done SP, but more importantly..... nice hat. I love my wide brims.

You've got some color reflection in the left lens, easily removed. Another reflector (camera right) would probably let us see the remainder of the brim continuing around. Well done on eliminating the glare from the eye wear. :thumbup: Just my 2¢.
