I was bored and waiting for Lost to come on and decided to take 5 minutes and do some self portraits. I had the Nikon 14-24 lens on my D700 from the previous day at the NY Auto Show so I decided to leave it on. I placed an SB900 underneath the camera aimed up at my face. For this shot I was actually tethered to the strobe because I had my gear set up for an event I have to shoot soon. While I sat on my bed giving a creepy look to the shiny glass staring me in the eye I pushed the remote trigger and got some pretty sweet shots. They aren’t amazing but it’s practice and it’s fun. The SB-900 was set to the lowest possible output and the exposure was 1/250 at f/2.8
After a few shots I took some Sylvania DOT-it LED‘s and placed them around my bed. It added some extra flavor to the shot, but nothing crazy.
Thanks for checking it out!
