I decided to try and better myself with my flashgun. I found things look nicer without the Sto-fen bounce and I prefer to use the inbuilt diffuser. I also decided to give Raw Shooter a go too. I'm glad I did as I now prefer using these two. Doing a self portrait shoot is definetly one of the hardest things to do. Its hard to frame and you have to take a lot of pics to get just one right. Still, I'm quite happy with the results as you can see from my new spiffy avatar :D

hmmm.....the mouth is still bothering me, i know its only a shadow, i will accept the hat as 'what you do' i can be mostly found in a WilliamsBMW baseball cap....

second is the better shot deifnately..very...mysterious!

infact..a picture of me looking cool etc can be found here..

I thought it was John Lennon! ;)

The 2nd shot is the better exposed Pete and the best shot anyway. If your hand had been under your chin instead of in front of it you'd have got the same exposure for the face and hand instead of that slightly blown out hand which is somewhat distracting. I'd try selectively toning down that hand. Try bouncing the flash for a softer more natural light. Great black and white conversion - as usual. :icon_cool
 
Yer that was bounced. I'm playing with it in Photoshop to try and fix the issues :)
