Post Your Self Portraits Here
« on: October 14, 2012, 01:00:22 AM »
While most self portraits or selfies are stupid photos of girls with there lips stuck out like a duck and there backs hunched over, I would like to see what Canon Rumors can do with a camera in there hands and themselves as the subject.  I just got a Yongnuo YN-560 II and a Cowboy Studio Trigger, I wanted to try some portrait shots but no one else was around, this is what I came up with using a Canon T1i and a 50mm 1.8 II.

Canon 5D MKII, Canon 50mm 1.8 II, Canon 17-40mm F/4L, Sigma 105mm EX DG Macro F/2.8, Canon 200mm F/2.8L, Yongnuo YN-560 II

How many Shots did you take to get it right? I found it really hard to get a good shot with my camera on the tripod.
5D Mark II + 50mm 1.4 and 100mm 2.0 To be continued.

I just used the tripod to hold my flash, I held the camera with my hands, it took about 15 shots to get this one.
