Self Portrait... (not inspired by erose)

+1 on the second one!! :thumbup:

 

[mrpink]

I like the second one better :sillysmi: Although, I think I'd like it more if I could see just a *little* more of your eyes (whether that means pulling the hat back a little or lifting you chin a bit, is up to you. )

Just for you, sorry no duckface.

I like the 1st one.

I think your studio is a ****house not a garage. Move the **** out and keep the two segments separate.

Great shot!!
It looks like you had 1 strobe placed behind you and the reflector placed to the front right of the photograph, (first of all, am I wrong so far?) but where was the 2nd strobe placed?

Wait, was the 2nd strobe placed to the rear right of the photograph and that was the main strobe for the reflector?

here is a photo of my setup, sorry about the cluttered basement, my motorcycle is taken apart on the other side so I had to do this back in the "storage" area for space:

One strobe, fired bare behind me for a rim light. Main light was from another fired through an umbrella. I held the reflector for some fill on the dark side. All ambient light was blocked.

I also used a couple pieces of cream colored masking tape.



mwc.... The polo emblem was intentional.

Thanks for the info. :thumbup:. I appreciate it. I'm still trying to learn lighting.

This is a great way to learn. No one rushing you. No one asking to see each photo taken. No opinions. You can do everything at your pace, and really see the difference each change makes.

Mr Pink
can I ask a question about your setup?
are you using 2 sb600's?
one in the umbrella and one behind you?
if so are you still using the camera flash? from wht I researched its the flash of the commander that sets of the slave units or is there a way around this if you do not want to use the built in flash. havent picked up a flash yet so its a little confusing, gonna try to get a sb600 soon.


Nice pics BTW, like the first one the best

Yes, the pop up flash is what the camera uses to trigger the strobes. The pop up flash does little to affect the overall exposure, but it does affect it. In these photos, I did not want any flash from the front so I used a couple pieces of cream colored masking tape to block the flash while still allowing it to trigger the strobes. Worked out great.

With OCF, there are no stupid questions.
