Default Polaroid: New Extinction

Polaroid: Near Extinction

I tried to take this image as a low key image, but I didn't know how to set up the lighting properly, so I ended up editing the image as though its a graphic design.

How do you guys think about this image?
Camera: Nikon D300
Exposure: 0.003 sec (1/400)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 50 mm
Exposure: 0.00
ISO Speed: 200
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: On, Return not detected

It is hard to see the Camera you need more light. I think I would change the back ground to anther color. Black on Black is hard to see. I hope that helps! Keep working it it will come around.

The black on black is hard to see where one ends and the other starts. The use of a flash would help add some light to camera left in this image.

Well I get the feeling like that 'black on black is hard to see' is actually the point here and I like it. The camera is so known, you don't have to see it as a whole. It's an effect that has been used by many many commercials and it works.
