Photography Challenge 2016 week 1 Self portrait

At the end of last year I realized that I had not picked up my camera that often. I decided this year to develop my skills more and embarking on the Dogwood 52 week challenge. Each week I will have a specific type of portrait I would need to take and I will post so you can see the development of my portraits.  For first week I needed to create a self portrait(selfie). I did not want to do a tradition selfie with a cell phone, instead I decided to try low-key lighting. Here are the setting I used
