Self portrait

I couldn't think of a better way to learn than to do some self portraits.
I feel like that's incredibly vain, but nobody is a more cooperative model than me. Most were exceptionally blurry, but I really like a few, including this one.

It's a pretty simple setup. I'm shooting in aperture priority. EV is down 2 stops. Main is a softbox above me and camera right, close to the axis. Fill is a shoot-through below me, also near the axis. Clamshell-ish setup.

More spring nature shots. Hopefully I'll have something of a different tenor soon.

Spring, it seems, is almost here. However, my fascination with the Sigma 70-300 is fading. That's what I used for this image. It's not bad in smaller sizes, but at full size, the sharpness is DEFINITELY lacking. I guess that's cheap glass for you.

More than anything, I liked the combination of colors in this shot.

I like the color and the backlighting.

However, it looks like the JPG compression introduced some clipping, maybe in the red channel. That's a bit frustrating.
