This is a quickie for your photographer types. I took these pictures of myself in a dark bathroom with tungsten lighting (yuck!). I was testing out ways to bounce my flash to make it look like window light. I’m quite happy with the results. (Although I’d be much happier if I had some sort of skin softening software!)
One of the trickiest things was figuring out where to look in the picture. As you can see above, if I looked myself in the eye it appears as if I’m looking up. I really needed to be looking down at the center of my lens in the mirror for it to appear that I was looking straight at myself.
You should give this fun exercise a try. Here are the pictures by the numbers: f 3.2 and 1/80 shutter speed
