Self portrait fail

I couldn't find a lantern so I used Jellyfish instead.

I'm not gonna do that pose...

:lol:

edit
Aren't the jelly fish upside-down? Never seen one like that...

There's no up or down with Jellyfish. Those are Lion's mane jellyfish. Maybe I'll move them around.

Yes, do that pose and let us see. I shall wax eloquently about your picture...

Sold my 1911 a couple years ago (wish I didn't)... I don't have very many handguns anymore... P38, Glock 22, Ruger MkII, and a Ruger Super Blackhawk Hunter with scope.

I'm thinking that stainless .44 would look pretty good if I took the scope off. (It's also the only 'shiny' gun I have - and it's really big, lol.)

Nice shot. I've got the Super Redhawk (9.5") with a silver scope. Need to try some pics of it.

OK, so I'm finally going to reshoot this tonight... Any last minute pointers?

I think I'll do one (a couple) pretty much the same as the first one, with the addition of a reflector and a gun. Then I'll add a flash.

I'm still not 100% sure on where the flash should be, or how it should be metered. First, I think I'll try behind and to the (camera) right, same power as the lantern. After that, I'll just be guessing. :lol:

Directly behind me seems like a good idea too...

Also trying to figure out the best wardrobe... I like the robe idea, but I don't have one. I'm thinking a plain field jacket might work best.
