224/365 # Black and white self portrait
Straight out of camera except for the conversion to B&W. So, technically, not straight out of camera but you know what I mean. I can't tell you how happy I am that I've managed to get a shot out of camera that doesn't require lots of tweaks. Don't go by my expression in the photo - that's for the sake of moodiness only, I'm pretty chipper actually.
It's a bit of a boring shot, but it's crispier than peking duck and I really like it for the fact it's not covered in layers of Photoshop trickery. It's quite similar to my shot from day 207
but I figured what the hell, it's been a couple of weeks and no one will notice.
Should be picking up my new stand for my flash later, so hopefully shots requiring hand held flash will be a thing of the past from now on . . .
Strobist info: SB600 to camera right at 1/64 power. Hand held at arms length and just below my face with the flash angled up. I used a filter on this one but I don't know what kind of filter it is. It's like black on one side, silver on the other, and it has loads of little holes ounched in it. The silver side was facing outwards so I guess the black side facing the flash would've muted the light a bit.
