(Nikon D90, 18-55 VR @ 18mm, ISO 100, Double Exposure)
Now back to me. As mentioned earlier, I had rented an extra speedlight for about a week and failed to get any significant use out of it. Initially thought about shooting something for Fstoppers, but eventually gave up on trying to shoot a video. In any case, the photo (as indicated) is an in-camera double exposure. Technically I could do this all in Photoshop, but... I'm lazy.
First exposure was at f/16 for 2.5 seconds. Used a small circular LED light and drew circles with it repeatedly. Dialed down the second exposure to f/11, 1/200 to allow for a little bit more flash exposure as well as kill off the ambient. Popped up the built-in flash to serve as a commander for the two speedlights. I don't quite recall what the flashes were set to, but given their proximity to me. Had one SB900 camera left bottom pointed up towards me, and one SB800 overhead on a lightstand to light my hand and some of my hair. The former was probably around 1/40th power and the latter at 1/64th. Not quite sure since (sadly) it was a couple weeks back. Experiment yourself though! If not at Manual power, then the flashes were most likely on TTL; the latter with a negative EV flash exposure. Threw in presets in Lightroom and added some vingetting.
Done deal. Took a couple of tries though, being a one-man show and all.
