Self Portrait in Edmond, WA
Uploaded: July 25, 2007
A self-portrait from last winter. It had snowed here in Seattle, so I headed down to beach to see if I could get some snowy sunset shots, but there was no snow down at sea level. So I messed around with some off-camera lighting. I tried to take pictures of my dog, but he doesn't like to sit still...so I was my only other option. It was about 25F and super windy, and I was having a hard time using my hands to work my camera. Time to invest in some gloves...
D80
Sigma 10-20mm
SB-600

Outstanding portraint. I also have the D80/SB-600 and find it a lot of fun to experiment with the wireless flash feature. Thanks for the inspiration. #4576645Emily E. Bem November 09, 2007
