365 photos for the year, one a day, to develop my photographic eye, imagination and technique.

Day 11
A self portrait today, playing with the light and reflections.
Strobist info: bare Sigma 530 DG Super @ 1/32 power 45 degrees camera right, fill from a white wall to the left. Remote trigger and Cactus V4 for the flash.
I'd probably have to cut the rope to take it out. Perhaps I should have made it more of a feature, rather than just having it peek out? I notice that the end of the rope can be seen around my cheek as well.
Oh, and the Cactus V4 is a wireless flash trigger. It's about an order of magnitude cheaper than a pocket wizard version. You shouldn't need it if you use your Nikon SB-600 or SB-800 as a slave to the on board flash, unless you want to hide the flash round a corner. It does let me use a much cheaper manual flash when I don't want the E-TTL cleverness.
What's a Cactus V4? This is cool - love the lighting, love the composition.
ReplyDeleteWas there any chance of losing the rope knot top middle? I assume that's how the mirror is normally hung up.
