Time on King West

Time on King West - 158/365, originally uploaded by PJMixer.

I liked the low angle I got by simply setting the camera down on the bench and raising the lens a little with my lens cap. As with most self portraits, focusing is a tricky, so I autofocused on the back of the bench at the end where I was going to sit. Then set focusing to manual and set the self timer for 10s. I kept a tight 2.8 f-stop on my 50mm lens to get the depth-of-field I wanted, but had to shoot high iso to keep the shutter speed reasonable.
