Overexpose? I understand using spotmetering on the artist's face. If I'm
then using an averaging meter where the artist will generally be more
brightly lit than the background, wouldn't I want to 'underexpose' the
overall scene to approximate correct exposere of the bright object?
With an OM-2 on auto, it could even make a difference whether it has the
old or new shutter curtain pattern. This seems like the ideal situation
for the ESP metering on the OM-PC to shine.
It's hard to tell from the posted images, but it looks posssible that
John's shots are overexposed, at least teh highlights look blown-out on
my screen.

just overexpose about 1 f-stop.
