8th Place Self-portrait with OM-2

Post-Processing:
Dodge and burn, clone a few spots, crop

Extra Info:
No, my eye has not been added in PhotoShop. If you had been standing where the camera taking the picture was, you would have seen exactly the same view.

The Olympus OM-2 in the picture is a normal working camera, and if I had pressed the shutter release, it would have taken a picture of the camera which made the photo.

	davidlong Feb 3, 2009 00:10 GMT	Thanks for the comments and votes. The 'secret' is that the OM-2, like many other SLRs, has a removable focusing screen. Once you take that out, there's a clear optical path: lens-mirror-pentaprism-eyepiece. Depending on the lens, the image of the eye will be bigger or smaller. I haven't tried it, but something like DrewE's idea might also be workable.

	DrewE Feb 2, 2009 23:45 GMT	A clever idea and well-executed. I assume the swinging back cover is out of the frame on one side. High in my top ten. Good luck.
	pugsley Feb 2, 2009 21:18 GMT	Very cool take on the theme, in my TT, GL
	tre_blA Feb 2, 2009 04:54 GMT	Well accomplished! If I hadn't read the extra info, this would've passed me up.
	Buckshot Feb 2, 2009 01:22 GMT	Cool shot but it did not hit my self portrait meter
	Taxiback Jan 31, 2009 17:12 GMT	I like this one, well done my No.1
