self portrait #25

Not so great but I was mostly testing out HP5 at EI1600 developed in diafine. Light is from a little clamp-y type light thingy from Ikea, clamped onto the tripod leg.
Taken for my 52weeks project which i promptly fell off of over the month of December so I'm 4 weeks behind, although this is truly #25 of the set.
If I wasn't so impatient I'd burn out the radiator on the left...

Actually a strong picture, love the radiator in the background, gives a sense of placement.

Printed on Gr 5 eh, you are pushing for contrast! Good tonal range, all things considered. I would call your push of the film, successful.

I like the shadow over the left side of the face. It gives the photo some depth.
