Selfportrait with roofpanel backdrop
I really love the strobist site. What a fantastic idea to use a simple roofing panel as a backdrop. Definitely had to try this at home. Joe Daylor and Joe Stern used transparent panels and painted them black. In the store they had a ready to go panel for 8 euro. It's not really as wide as I want it to be, but I might get myself another one.
See setup shot below. Detailinfo: "Softboxed" Nikon SB26 on camera right @1/4 power, Canon 430EX gelled green on the background @1/8 power (zoom 105mm), snooted Canon 540 EZ lying on the floor on camera left to separate the dark side from the background. I also used a reflector on camera left so the shadowside of the face wouldn't be totally dark. Exposure 1/125 @ f5.6 ISO100.
