I’m taking it back to the old school here with this dorky skateboarding self-portrait I shot yesterday haha. I had 2 flashes set up for this shot. I had one 580ex ii on camera left about the hight of the top stair pointing up and another on camera right about shoulder height. I trigged the camera with a Canon RC-1 remote, which is in my right hand pointing at the camera :).
Camera: Canon 6D & 17-40L @17mm ~ Settings: 1/800th – f/10 – ISO 200
Thanks for stopping by, Rob
Very cool. Great action shot.
Thank you 🙂
That’s an interesting approach to the selfie :D. I have a remote myself, but I always forget to do cool stuff like this!
Do it up Jonas! 😀
Awesome capture! 🙂

Ya buddy! Peace ;).
Awesome selfie!

Wow!! Great capture!! How many takes though?? lol
Good question! It took quite a lot of tries, because I would do the ollie down the stairs and try to fire the camera with the RC-1 remote, but the camera wouldn’t fire. I think because I wasn’t pointing it good enough at the camera. There was also a bunch of shots I didn’t like because I was unhappy with the point the shot was taken. Like the shutter went off a little late or a little to early haha.
Thanks about the picture 🙂
Good action is hard to capture. Good selfie action near impossible and not nearly as fun as it sounds! Lol
Really really nice. And the expression. Great timing!
Thank you!
