20090116 - Minimal-ish SP

For the Flash Us and Minimalism challenges for January.

I was originally going to try a floating head shot, like Scott's - but then got in from work and saw that he'd done it... besides, I think I'd have had to go outside to do it well, not having enough (=any) black material in the house to hide behind!
So, here's a high-key colour me. It was going to be b&w but then... wasn't :)

Portrait lens - too long for SPs really :-(

All three flashes firing for this one - almost cooked myself! lol

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 135mm f/2L USM
1/200s f/2.5 at 135.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
