So here you go. A couple years ago I was preparing to have a photo session with my friend (and master bubble blower) Tom Noddy. I wanted to work out the kinks before Tom came over so I experimented. Can&#8217;t remember if I had a digital slr at the time but that would have been invaluable. I&#8217;m sure I took readings from a flash meter plus I did some tests for DOF with a tape measure running away from the camera. My memory is that the tape measure showed focus on the inch numbers 28 through 32 but the notes on this image indicate a wider range.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">This is shot with the TL-120 with Provia 400X, 1\/60th of a second at f22. The focus was cranked to the .8 marker. The notes indicate that my face was at 32&#8243;, the bubble at 24&#8243;. There was a large potato masher style flash aimed at the ceiling and a Vivitar 283 equipped with a lightsphere (yes, I bought one of those silly things). There was black velvet draped behind to limit the depth in the scene. Shot in my dining room.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our fearless leader John has suggested we all enter self-portraits. So here you go.
