 This was a really interesting self portrait. Shot in a quarry, during a non work day. I made a small water platform with a big ass rock. Supported by many other rocks. Set camera on tripod 50 or so feet away. Sword was dug in 20 feet or so from camera. One flash on camera, lit sword. Plus remote flash to the left, to light me. Cokin star filter was used, to help diffuse the scene. Interval timer was used to keep things productive. Fun shoot! Oh and I learned the material I used, sucks in water like a Sham Wow. Reduced slight highlights, contrast, faded colour, edge blur filter, slight crop,resize for web

I don't see it in this photo. It's a cool photo though, with the sword and everything. But it looks to obvious that there is some kind of filter or something there.
