Self Portrait

Self Portrait

I was pleased with the results of this self portrait. It's nothing ground breaking, but I think it was well executed. I used a tuperware light difuser to get a bare bulb effect for the lighting. I used a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens with a Rebel XT. Click on the link to see all the gory EXIF data.

Portraits are scary for me. I think to get good ones, you really need to have connection with your subject. That relationship is the scary part.

How does everyone else handle portraits?
