Ok – so I have ventured into a realm unknown to me till now. I have decided to do a three-in-one routine development thing. So I am working on losing weight, updating my blog at www.gideonvanzyl.co.za on a daily basis, and taking one self-portratit a day till I reach my ideal weight (probably sometime in about 13 weeks, if I am a good boy.

Today’s effort is included. I am trying different techniques every day, so day three is a shot taken with my Canon EOS 5 D MkII and an old Speedlite 220 that I don’t use that much stuck behind a strobist kit softbox.

Criticism in this case would be appreciated, since I am pretty new to the whole self-portait thing.
