I dug out my old Minolta SRT 200 for this challenge. Bought in the 1970s, it is a fully manual camera. The lens was purchased at the same time. I also have an 80-200mm lens (not shown). I'm tempted to get this cleaned up, buy some film, and give it a whirl. It's been a long time since I've used it.

A single flash was bounced off the ceiling while I held a white reflector on the opposite side.

Adjusted in LR5 using a preset, sent to PScc where I blurred the background multiple times and then added a texture overlay that I blurred out a bit more. Then in Perfect Photo Suite 9 I added some dynamic contrast and a vignette. I returned it to PScc for some spot removal and minor cloning of some scratches on the camera body, before sharpening it and sending it back to Perfect Photo Suite 9 for resizing. A tiny border was added back in PScc.

I wanted to do an image like this with an TLR as a subject. I gave up after realizing that i cannot do anything even close to Gregory Heisler's self portrait done at GPP 2012 (//gulfphotoplus.com/limited/image/4/GPP-Self-Portrait-2012).
