Updated Self Portrait

Been awhile since I did a self portrait, I'm always behind the camera. Thought it was time since I've lost all my extra weight.

Somber expression. If you were a dog you'd be a Bull Mastiff.

I guess it's obvious I'm not a fan of having my picture taken. No one to give the evil eye to, except myself. LOL

Nice mate. What lighting setup have you used here?

Thanks, it's a pretty standard 3 light set. The key is a AB800 strobe with 42" octabox with diffusion and grid, camera left , fill is a AB400 strobe with a 2x4 softbox with diffusion camera right, kicker is AB400 with a 7" reflector with 10 degree grid, camera left, back on a boom.

I rarely have problem with it, Pentax's anti-aliasing filter works extremely well. Body positioning such that a pattern isnt 90 degrees to sensor helps. Finally you're more apt to run into problems with repeating patterns shooting at wider apertures.
