Great job, nice tones and lighting. Yup that 10 second timer thing can be hit or miss with sharpness (you got a good one here). I used to put an object, where I would be standing, for the camera to focus lock on; Hit the shutter release, run over and move the object and hope I was standing in the right place... your right lots of work but can be done.

This is a nice shot and turned out pretty darn cool; when shooting close in Self Port/portraits don't be afraid to do an even closer crop. I might have cropped this even tighter to emphasis the eyes/expression. Maybe something like



Left some negative space on the right but I removed the black area on the top so the viewer doesn't get drawn off and out of the top of the frame (IMO of course).

Very nice, just enough of a smile to make us wonder what you are thinking. Great ink. Pretty darn good for a quickie. Let's get a tad bit more lighth on those big brown eyes...I bet they can be piercing.

You mention the 420EX behind you in a couple shots now, just curious how you are triggering that? I trigger mine with a 580EXII but that gets old especially when I disable flash on the 580 when using with strobes... is there another way to trigger the 420?

Great story telling expression/pose. Wonderful eyes. I like the composition/crop. I'm betting we see some wonderful shots in your SPs.

Nice, I like it. The one eye exposed and other covered give mystery to the shot. Cool shirt...

Don't be alarmed by my lights...I have no idea what I am doing.

Don't be afraid to take the Canon XTi to ISO400 in ambient light, it handles noise really well. With the 18-55mm you will want as small a aperture as you can get for shapness. Somewhere around f/8 or f/11.

Yup... you never know when you might need one. I'd like the say the girl on the bike in the background is distracting...but I can't ;)
