Selfie in the Night

After everyone at my house went to bed I decided I’d get out and shoot a photo. As soon as I got my gear in my car a light snow started to fall! I almost packed it in, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to take the few minutes drive to some buildings and see if I could find a covered area. Lucky for me when I got around some bigger buildings, it wasn’t snowing.

I shot this photo with my camera on a tripod with a 10 second timer. I used one Godox V860ii flash on the ground bare to camera right. It took a few tries to get something I was happy with. This picture was the last shot I took and it was just in time, as the parking lot security had just showed up to see what I was up too haha.

  1. I’m a little thick – I zoomed in and saw a very old Canon film camera (well I think that’s what I saw) and being a digital world I started to scratch my head. Then of course I saw your exif details and went quiet. Sometimes it takes a few seconds for the penny to drop wth me but it was worth the wait. Superb pic sir

  2. This was shown on my Reader feed as another post I might want to read. My dad also has an older Canon film camera I know he was a little resistant on going digital since he had a nice kit … four lenses, a nice hard case. What he didn’t have was an autowinder and a battery grip which tells you the vintage of the camera, around 1976-77. It fit his purposes. I think it is still loaded with film, half a roll remaining. I might have to get with taking some pictures. I know I’m not half as good as he is.
