Just me (Self Portraits)

[bmer]

Just take this one in my basement whit my 50mm 1.8

ISO 400 - f4 - 1/6sec

I had a 500W bulb 3ft on my back and an other one 6ft away at the floor, reflecting on a white board.

I like it, the lighting is great. What did you use?

[Jackal]

No offense Micheal....But did you read his post? :p (unless he edited it after you replied?)

P.S. Nice shot.

[Raj]

Nice shot bmer
I like the way you used lights.

[smittymike19]

so how did you light it? j/k.. how did you focus your shot is what i want to know. if you set the self timer, and had noone to focus on, how did you focus?

[Arsonist lolol]

Awesome shot Mat, I love how you can't see any other objects around you, great setup

[toddb]

Kind of like atomic blast lighting, I like it. Good use of clothing to contrast subject with the background.

[marie]

very nice

the light is a little too bright around the back legs of the stool (and boots)
also on the hands, but it's really nice otherwise

this is one of the best self portraits I've seen... My my, what wonderful talent our forum members possess!

i see what marie is saying about the back of legs and boots being overexposed but i think it gives your heavy boots an angelic look but the exposure and contrast is perfect where it's most important-face and hands.

wonderful self-portrait.

I was focusing on a box put on the chair then I put the lens to manual focus. That why I put the aperture to f4 so I have more chance to be in the "focus zone"

Thanks everyone for the comment I take note :lol:
