smooth toned self portrait
i was experimenting with different lighting setups, and in between two different settings i forgot to change the aperture on my camera from about f20 (i was using my alien bee at near full power) to something more reasonable for my sb-28 at 1/8th power.
so i took a picture at that ridiculous disparity, and saw this image. and i liked it. something about the way the shadows are wrapping, and the grey tones that are there are very smooth and nuanced..... i don't think it's the most amazing picture of me ever taken, but there is something nice about it's simplicity and ethereal-ness. it's not a look that is going to work on most people, but i like it.
