4 Sessions over three days. Way too many shots, most were deleted either in camera or on the PC. It's sort of want I wanted. All the reflections are in and I like the dark, grainy look. And yes...I use a quattro razor and no I hadn't for several days prior to image.
Set the camera with cable remote on a tripod over my head and behind me and adjusted and readjusted to get the reflections from the wall mirror and the medicine cabinet mirror on the wall at the right end of the wall mirror. The Wall mirror extends past the medicine cabinet which is not recessed. I ended up covering the end of the medicine cabinet with black electrical tape to make that area dark in the image. Trying to make a angry face and holding still was a problem as well....I always think of anger as a moving emotion....how it wells up in you...so the second panel sort of conveys that but it tis just the secondary reflections in the mirror.
Post: Camera Raw Adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Spot edit schmutz that I could not clean of the mirror. The join of the tripod got caught in the third panel....cloned it out. Distortion correction to straiten the edges of the panels. Layer adjustemtns for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. New layer of levels and gradient map to convert to grayscale. Adjusted the sliders for each of the Red, Green and Blue channels. Flatten. Sharpen. Curves adjustment and another curves adjustment to get rid of a little more of the shadows. Resize. Sharpen.
