Self portrait

Alex Megremis has added a photo to the pool:

After watching Peter Hurley deliver another one of his presentations on how to execute amazing headshots, I figured I'd take a stab at it. This photograph implements a lot of advice, ranging from posturing, to expression, to lighting.

Strobist info:
- SB600 at +1ev, camera left, behind and above me, at 45º angles towards me , bouncing off an umbrella.
- SB600 at +1ev, camera right, behind and above me, at 45º angles towards me , bouncing off an umbrella.
- SB900 at +2ev, on-camera, ceiling bouncing, and as Commander.
- white reflector bouncing ceiling light up from under me.

The image has been minimally processed, mostly to drop saturation and clean up the background.
