Some portrait’s of myself

For awhile now I’ve been thinking I should get some fresh and new pictures taken of myself. I’m not really sure why I need pictures of myself; I know how I look. So anyways, nearly two weeks ago I was over at Loncho’s for the evening and got the talented Miss Sandra Ramos to photograph me to the best of her abilities. I think she did a pretty good job, considering the subject she had to work with.

For these first two pictures, we were outside using mostly natural lighting with some fill flash.

After that we got my flashes and umbrella out and I tried to coach Sandra through her first time with off-camera flash.

It then started raining, so we moved inside. The garage doors worked as a suitable backdrop. Susanna and Cecilia did a great job of holding the lights.

We had a problem with the one flash not going off, and so finally I went to check it, and here low and behold the wireless trigger was turned off. Turning that on made things work a lot better, but that flash still had issues firing. I think I need to change the battery in my trigger.

So anyways… I’d like to thank Sandra for the great job she did, and for the fact that she is letting me put them on my blog. It was a different experience being the one being photographed, instead of being the one behind the camera like usual. I think I learned some stuff through the experience.
