I have made and developed my first 5x4 images.

I was hoping to head outside but the weather said no. So I was left doing self portraits in doors with a softbox and speed light. I was lucky I had a PC cable and a wireless trigger that accepted it.

It wasn't easy focusing, I had to get video light to illuminate the scene and even then it was a gamble as I couldn't focus on myself, I got lucky as the picture is relatively sharp.

I used a Symmar-S 135mm wide open at f/5.6 and a shutter of 1/500th. Digitized with a Fuji Xpro-3.
But studio work is too easy, I want to get outside where I have no control

Anyway hear is a picture of my ugly mug.

Excellent Mark... maybe with a Content Warning for scary direct eye contact! (Clearly I've been spending too much time on that there Mastodon system!)
