Day 1





This is the first day of my 'The 365 Project'. I planned to do it as a self portrait session. I started this today as its the begining of the month, and Labour's Day as well. Since I love strobist portraits, hence I tried few and this one is that I chose. It was as usual a pretty darn boring Sunday with gloomy weather and rain during the early evening. I tried going out to take some photos, but all in vain. So I went up to my apartment's terrace and the sky was perfect for this shot. Took a few exposure and voila! this is what I got.





Setup is pretty simple. Shot with my 24-120 zoom @ 35mm, f/4, shutter 1/50 sec. and ISO 100 with my vivitar 285HV at @ full power @ Tele mode, with a diffusion filter from 9 ft away from the subject camera right. Manual focus by distance tracker on the lens, 10 sec. timer setting, flash triggered by cactus radio trigger.
