So... I tried to portrait something more powerful with this one. Not sure if it worked. I've been doing a lot of self-portraits lately
mainly due to the fact that I love portraits and I have no one to model. It was taken in complete darkness with lighting set up on the side.

Thanks :) All my pictures tend to be too dark. My monitor is calibrated rather brightly as well so I've a feeling it appears even darker on other screens.

Hah, no probs :P Well, I'm a poor teenager so I used (don't laugh since I'm from Sweden ._.") a clip-on ikea light. It works quite well to use as a directional light actually. The only down-side as you can see are the harsh shadows.
