All About The Light

This is a self-portrait to show how lighting affects a shot. A DIY softbox with one Canon 430EX speedlite on a tripod was placed at 45º, camera-right. The speedlite was manually set to half-power. I have several old halogen work lights, some double, some single. One of the single ones was used up close, camera left. Camera was a Canon EOS 7D to trip the 430EX, with it's own flash turned off and self-timer set to 10 secs. The settings were as follows:  shutter speed - 1/80 sec, F-stop - f/10, ISO speed - 100 and focal length - 70 mm.
Lens used:  Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Backdrop was a black shower curtain. Finally, I cropped the shot heavily to increase dramatic effect.
