The old way

Before leaving for Christmas, I decided to try to take a photo using my new 285H Vivitar flash. The problems with self portraits is that there's nobody there to take the picture for you. More important than that is of course focus. There are other ways to do this, but I tried the old school measure it and then dial it in method. Took several tries but it worked.
