Me, My Locs, and My Photo Magazine

Sometimes you need to put down the photo magazines, stop obsessing over other people's awards and recognition, and make your own damn photos.

Self-Portrait
5 March 2010


For this photo I used available light, that being the two 100W equivalent, full-spectrum CFLs in my uncovered ceiling light fixture. (My flash has 'tude. I shall perform an attitude adjustment on it this weekend.) With my 50mm/f1.8 lens and ISO 400, I was able to hand-hold the camera...rather, hand-hold the tripod I used to get more distance between myself and the lens. My right hand operated the cable release. The only editing I did in Lightroom 2.0 was spot removal, mild softening, and slight color adjustment.
