Just playing a little bit with the camera, I got some self-portrait. All of them were done in a single shot. It is not photoshop cloning. The only post-process that was done was for color adjustment and cropping; Lightroom was use for the post-processing. I just use a dark studio. 50 mm lens Long exposition 30 seconds, and Small aperture f11 or f22 And remote trigger fire the strobes 2, 3 or 4 times. I was just fun.
