POTD 27 of 365

Tonight, I am my own GoBo!

A shot of some boots and a hat was rather boring - I tried to spice it up a little with some lighting, but, it was still boring.

I wanted to add another layer of interest to the shot, so I setup a flash way behind me, and put on a hat (I am a big fan of hats!).

The lighting is two bare flashes, fired with the cheapies. The 580 is at 1/128 an zoomed to 50mm, aimed right at the boots.

The 430EZ is at 1/8, at its widest setting, and setup way behind me. Set the camera for two seconds, hit the shutter, and got into position.

Setup shot is here:

You can make out the 430 in the extreme foreground.

I'm thinking this one might look nice as a textured sepia shot...
