Hi Rainer,
I painted the foreground in a photo with a T20 (by shorting out the shoe
contacts) and a red keychain light. I wasn't using an OM 2 but an OM 4T
but the process should be the same. Go to
http://www.millennics.com/olympus/tope/gallery.html and look down near the
bottom at Gregg Iverson. The details are spelled out for you if you click
on the photo. I didn't worry about compensation for the long exposure, but
I did have to correct for the light pollution using mercury vapor night
lights in the neighborhood.

Hi all,
In one earlier flash thread somebody mentioned the unique possibility of
using the
OM2 in auto mode in the dark and then use an unconnected flash to sort of
"paint"
the scene with light, until the camera has collected enough and closes the
shutter. Has anybody really used this and are there examples of pictures
available? (This was one of the features of the system that impressed me
most when
i read about it in the seventies. Could not afford Oly gear at that time,
only got
my first OM 2 three years ago.) Are there additional corrections that have
to be
considered?
Thanks!
Rainer
