First try with the umbrella!

So my umbrella and stand arrived today i through on my sigma ef-500 super and my cactus trigger, and came up with this self portrait. I through it into B&W so heres what the outcome is. Also i used my 50mm 1.8...

it always amazes me how great the 50 1.8 is

nice shot and good lighting!

Thanks, Yea the 50 is amazing! I don't think you can top it for the price. Although i might make the step to the 1.4!

Nice shot! Now the million dollar question, how did you get it to focus to perfectly lol

he didn't try..he hoped and prayed for the 50 to focus

Lol, Dario is 100% correct. Theres about 20-25 shots of un-focused shots lol. This was the best one.

It gets old waiting for an in-focus shot doesn't it? Been there...

Yea plus i need a remote... trying to be very still and holding the shutter button to focus isnt the easiest.
