Self Portrait

I experimented with flashes today like a big boy

Nikon D90
18-55mm 3.5-5.6G VR (@22mm)
1/80
f/5.6
ISO 100

Used a polarizer as a two stop ND filter, pop up flash at 1/16 power, and an old sunpak with an optical trigger on the tripod.

C&C?

Also, after processing in lightroom (still loving the trial), I loaded it into GIMP and did some cloning and dodged my left eye.

Wow Blake! Amazing work. The lighting, tones and the pose somehow remind me of headshots done for moviestars in the 40's. Maybe try this again wearing a 40's style hat, suit with a tie. Very well done!

'Classic' was exactly the thought that came in to my head as well.
