    Hi Copperhead

    Thanks for the comment. It's a selfie so not as controlled as I would like - the (camera) right light was a bit bright. I was using a pair of flashes (1 Nikon and 1 Yongua), set up on stands, shooting through white umbrellas. I used 4 Yongua triggers, 1 on each flash, 1 on camera and 1 in my hand to trigger the exposure.

    The camera and flashes were set to manual with group autofocus. Nikon D810, Nikon 70-200 f2.8 at 122mm, 1/160", ISO 64, f8. The left flash was set at full power in front and to the left of me with the flash about 6.5' high and the right flash at half power, at about 4', slightly behind me (I'm 5'7").

    I adjusted the power by moving the flashes closer or further away.

    I took the photos in my back garden at night, which explains the right hand flash being a bit hot - I couldn't move it further away from me as there was a hedge in the way.

    I was too lazy to move the whole set up to a different part of the garden and also, the neighbours would then be able to see me. They think I'm mad enough as it is.

    Hope this helps.

    Adrian

    If I get get satisfied, I get lazy! And if I get lazy, I don't learn.

    I like the photo but I just want to improve. For me, photography is like life. A journey, not a destination.

    And I do enjoy it!

    My sister is renovating an old house in Roscommon, used to be two elderly sisters living there. Inside an old dresser she found that little fledgeling and butterfly, the rest is what remains of the contents of the house.

    I can't see it, it must be like one of those optical illusion books that you have to look at it a certain way, can you draw over it?

    I've only my phone where I can't do anything more than crop the pictures, I'm afraid. The three short darkish lines are his left eyebrow, eyelashes and the top of his cheekbone.
