Self portrait

Haven’t done a “selfie” since a while. But today I reinstalled one of the studio strobes into a corner of our dining area, attached a gridded beauty dish to it, set the camera to share its display and settings via WiFi, and used my phone as a remote controller. Then, with a black background attached to the kitchen door, I took a photo of myself. Looks like this:

I set the white balance to 4800k and cropped the photo into a 4×5 format, otherwise it’s unaltered and like “out of the camera”.

Getting grey, am I not? Well I guess for an almost retiree that’s quite normal perhaps? Anyway, took the same photo into Silver Efex, and used the ‘Dark Sepia’ preset to get this out of it:

Thanks for viewing.
