Ive just done my first self portrait, I used my off camera flash, an old SB-28 speedlite into a cheap 24in Ebay Softbox, nothing spectacular, I used an ML-L3 remote shutter release on my D80, I wanted it to be a bit dark with lots of shadow hence the single softbox with a black background
No amount of Photoshop can make me any better looking though, still look rough as ****
er i tried and its crap lol
I shot a charity calendar last year the only problem was i also had to be in it. My shot was the simplest of the calendar to make it easier but i just focused on the distance and held a remote on my hand to fire. only took 3 exposures as i am not as vain as the other guys in the calendar.
I think you need to tell us the type of shot you want.
Ohhh i say...Like this forum
