Hey everyone, I took this self- portrait a few weeks ago, and I was wondering what you guys thought of it. By all means, tear it up, it's one of the first times I've used off-camera flash, and I need all the advice I can get.


For you exif-lovers here you go:


Canon Xsi, 1/60 s, f/5.6 @ 32mm, 18-55mm kit lens, ISO 200.


Strobist-wise, I had a flash with the sto-fen omni bounce (with a piece of cardboard taped to it so that light wouldn't hit the background) a metre in front of me, and a silver reflector around two metres behind me.


One more question: What background do you guys look for when taking portraits (assuming you're not using canvas)?


Thanks for looking everyone!
