I headed out the coast after work with just my camera gear and decided that it was time to focus on me for a bit. I'm turning 30 in a little over a week and I wanted some interested photos from this period of my life. This is one of the oddball shots of the evening, but it's my favorite. I had the auto timer set to just 10 seconds, so I had to be quick about getting my pose together. :)

D200 set to full manual control while using a 0.9 ND filter. Underexposed the scene and then used a single SB-600 mounted on camera for lighting me up. Worked out pretty well, though perhaps the light could have been a tad warmer. I like the gothy/industrial feel though, so I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
