54 attempts at a self portrait, and I only got two that were OK.

OK, so I may in fact be my own toughest critic. I had to set up the work camera to take about 200 employee photos. I wasn't actually supposed to take the photos, just set it up so someone else could take the photos. Here is my photo. I tried to employ everything that I have been able to learn from Strobist.com, and then make it as simple as possible for a very nice lady who is a self declared "point-and-shoot" kind of photog. 580EXII with manual settings at 1/2 power camera left with a shoot through umbrella, and a large window camera right for back fill. I couldn't see myself through the view finder for obvious reasons, so there is noticeable glare on my glasses, plus the funny refraction of the side of my head. Oh well, it's a little better than a mug-shot.
