This is my second crack at taking a photo for this week's 52Frames self-portrait challenge.
My initial shot had me leaning on a farm gate against the sunset, but I was unhappy with the framing once I got it home (I'd chopped part of my feet off, for a start!)
I played around with a few options, before eventually settling on this, in a nod to the countless cups of coffee I will drink, and the scenes that I hope these lenses will capture for me this year.
This was lit by daylight coming through my skylight, which put parts of my face into rather deep shadow, so I used a notebook as an impromptu reflector.
The 85mm f/1.2's extremely shallow depth of field was a bit too extreme wide open, and blurred the cup and lenses into oblivion, so I stopped down to f/2 to bring them back a bit.
