Smile Singled out for the holidays.

Just trying to regain a sence of creativity while taking a break from doing sessions. Was starting to become burnt out with the hobby I love most so I took the winter off to regain a love for it. Starting it off with a 30 day challange.

Nikon D7000, 60mm f/2. Tamron Macro, ISO 200, 1/8s, f/3.5, +5.0 EV, Color temp 2780K, Slight color adjustment in LR3

Nice. So can you tell me a little more about the setup? I assume you are on top of a mirror and the green is the celling or a wall reflection?

Used a small mirror I picked up at Hobby Lobby on the top of my desk with a piece of light green matting board behind it to reflect into the mirror and 1 Pro Master studio light with the modeling light turned onto 1/2 power to the right of it. Camera mounted on a tripod and Slacker Radio playing in the background. Music makes the mood.

I hear ya. Exact same circumstances as me. I haven't been able to become motivated to think of new ideas lately.
Nice shot for your 30 days.
