Birthday Self-Portraits!

I took my Birthday off from my 'day job" so I had some free time to play. I have seen this shot done over and over, but decided to do it myself anyway.

Just me, two strobes, two umbrellas, and two flashes.

Was to late when I remembered I had not done my hair for the day yet..... oh well.

Looks pretty cool to me, how did ya do it?

Simple. The strobes have eye so there is no problem triggering them. But I put remotes on the flashes to set them off, and then the flashes set off the strobes. It was not as hard to balance the lights as I thought it would be. The strobes are turned all the way down. One flash is at max. One is at about 1/4 so they are not equal. The camera is tethered, and the laptop was set to fire the camera once every 4 seconds for 10 shots in a row. This gave me time to re-pose before the camera fired again. Ran the cycle about 4 times and thats it!

The first shot is only one flash, the second has 2.

The rest is Lightroom.

Happy Birthday!
