Just got a new softbox the other day, and was excited to take a few shots with it to get a feel for the characteristics of the light. With no one around to model, I set up the tripod and intervalometer and played with light and tried a few poses in front of the camera... I'm sure most would agree that being a photographer often means having few decent shots of yourself... Glad to have got a few that I'm happy with. Anyone else done some selfies (ugggh!?) they liked?

I have also done "selfies" when no one is available. Testing how bad IR remote trigger is in direct sunlight...tests confirmed, it's bad...
The composite is testing a cheap radio trigger, which worked pretty well.

IR remotes aren't great indoors either really. I used the 2sec delay on my camera so I wouldn't be holding the remote some place awkward trying to get the damn thing to work!

To be fair, it might need a fresh battery.

Selfies are essential for testing setups. Three lights, Rosco gel, PocketWizards and motor cable:

I've done the same thing more times then I can count. Always seems to be when I get new gear and I'm too impatient to wait for someone to test it on. Lol.
This time round, I got some new static lights and everyone disappeared when they saw the B&H tape on the box... Haha
Used my wireless remote.

Took this the other day.
It took a fair few shots to get my eye in focus shooting at f1.4 but I got a couple and this is the one that I thinks best.

This is my most recent one from late October.

My dog had come down coonhound paralysis. One day he could barely walk and within a couple of days he had nothing in his legs at all. The condition takes a couple of months then goes as it comes.

Initially I would carry him for his walk but eventually picked up a pram and a sling for places I could not take a pram.

I set this up and had a buddy click the shutter early on as two vets had told me the problem was that his heart could no longer pump blood to his feet so I thought I was about to lose him.

Chris, Like x10 for the shot and the story behind it. As an extremely sentimental dog lover myself, I can really see the sense of impending loss in this shot.

He turns 13 in two weeks so it was a bit of a head mess. After getting him home and realising that his feet were warm I took him to another vet who recognised the condition but once he came good that vet suggested his body was going to now pack up and I would have him another couple of weeks.

But he has made a full recovery. Far more active than he has been in years.

This one was playing with a couple of vivitars and umbrellas in the front garden a couple of years ago. I had guessed the focus on the 70-200 and walked into position when a call came through.

So with the rain storms are keeping me inside, I thought it'd be fun to do some Star Wars inspired self Portraits. Lol.

Lighting test from last night. It is hard to take a self portrait with an 85 f/1.4 @ f/2 or less!

They are all very nice. I like how the photographer's self-image comes through in the tests.

OK, I'll play too. I don't use flash often (need to learn much more) but wanted to try mimicking what I saw someone else do. Overall I'm happy with the results.
