Self Portrait: First Try

Makeup for November 14

ISO: 100  f/20.0  SS: 1/250  Lens:  15-500mm

I knew I wanted my self portrait to have something to do with Photography because that's what I want to do after I graduate.  I took forever trying to set it up but I learned how to use the light meter and how to use the flash.  After I processed these pictures, I decided that I didn't like it. I felt like the focus of the picture ended up being the center of the umbrella, and I didn't like the harsh shadows. I wanted my portrait to show more of my face. This was the result of my first try. I don't feel like it was a total failure, but it's not what I wanted.

I cropped this photo and turned up the fill light.
