Chuck, last week I scanned a self-portrait KM, done in 1984 with my OM 2.
I did two versions of the selfportrait, the first one looks quite like
the KM, the second one was manipulated ( curves, etc. ) to bring out
details of my face, opening the shadows and lowering contrast. Only
light source was a mercury street lamp. Think I used my Zuiko 28/2,8;
most probably @ 5,6. Yes, I stood still.
Take a look and judge for yourself ... I called it 'Nihilist
Selfportrait' ( <Nada> means Nothing in Spanish ) - hey, I was 24 then ! ;-)
Fernando.
