Self portrait with a snoot, opinions...

[thebeatnut]

Hi, I made a snoot and tried a self portrait for fun. Let me know what you think. I haven't used a snoot before, it was certainly different!
I've put a large file in so it doesn't lose any detail.

Nice sharp self portrait. I do not notice the "snoot" effect that much though. Should have been more concentrated on the face, may be...??? Your collar got most of the light.

Cheers for the reply Henk. The snoot effect is the heavy vignetting around the photo, none of that was added post process. As you know, the effect a snoot has, and the area of light is down to the maker, and I designed mine to have a foot and a half area at 5 feet from subject. Good fun to experiment with!
