Creation of a Strobist (9000+ views!)

EXPLORE Highest position: 2 on Sunday, March 23, 2008!

UPDATE3: please have a look at

strobist.blogspot.com/2008/04/birthdays-heresies-and-watt...

... this picture is displayed on Strobist.com for its second birthday! Although I'm only a recent reader of this great blog about off-camera lighting, I'm totally hooked to it by now, and I consider an honor to have such a simple (and poorly post-processed ;) pic chosen for the day! THANKS Mr. Dave Hobby!! ^___^

(UPDATE2: while I was checking the best pictures of today, I had a brief glimpse of this photo on the Explore front page! It disappeared on next click obviously :) but nevertheless it's my best result EVAHR!! THANKS A LOT EVERYBODY! ^__^

(UPDATE: I can't believe it: EXPLORE Highest position: #2 on Sunday, March 23, 2008 - this is my best Explore position EVER! WA-HOOOO!!!)

Strobist info (LOL :D)
500W halogen lamp from living room, high camera left (pretty obvious, uh? ^__^)
75cm white panel down camera right

P.S. People from the Strobist pool, please don't hurt me :) I was just tooooo eager to finally have my own and first off-camera flash. I promise next time I'll post a picture done WITH it, not just OF it... ^___^
