Another from the shoot with the girlfriend

was that color originally? If so, what program did you use to convert to b/w?
I can never seem to convert my colors well to b/w.

On the lighting additions in PS: I tried that out when I was first post processing but just prefered the natural look with it being a bit flat.

On the B&W: I used photoshop to convert to B&W. I find the best way to make good B&W conversion is to first make the color shot look good by adjusting levels and balance. Then unsaturate the image and adjust the brightness and contrast as needed.

Thanks for all of your comments! Should be doing another shoot sometime soon.
