Self portrait

A little practice with the Bees before the tree goes up and severely limits my studio space. Unfortunately, the list of potential subjects was a little short

For the curious... 135mm @ f/11

Not bad for a self portrait Looks like your light is a little hot on your left side though.

Yeah, I might have gotten better results with that if I were able to get the hair light more behind than beside me, but again with that pesky space problem

I do like it, I know how hard self portraits are, and you got great composition and pose. The lighting just seems a little off to me. There is strong light coming from your left, but the only catchlights are on the right.

Again, that's from the attempt at a hair light. The only catchlights are on the right because that's where the only light in front of me was. The fill was done with a reflector.

I can't get focus like that on a self-portrait

Do you have the camera oriented vertically or horizontally, though? If horizontally, the focus points would be across your neck or shoulders, which might explain it
