Self Portrait

[Greg McCary]

I have been testing a set of Pixel wireless flash triggers. They are TTL and as long as I keep the off camera flash the same distance as the camera the exposure should be very close to right. I used a Gary Fong here but am thinking of getting an umbrella. I am not sure how I would benefit over the GF though. I really like the Tupperware.lol

I think you've caught your essence and isn't that what self portraits are about?

[Greg McCary]

Thanks Frog. I hope so.

Looks like your experiment works quite well!

Nice selfer !!!

About the GF vs an umbrella, the bigger the light source the softer the light will be, once you learn how to use the big light source there is no comparison

Regarding portability GF wins

Thanks Armando. I have a light stand and umbrellas are cheap. We have a huge flea market, junk sale every year and it is coming up next weekend. I always seem to find something I am looking for. I hope to find some cheap lighting gear there. Wish me luck.
