Friends Revisited.

So, I made a post a couple of months ago showing some of the photos from a series i'm doing. I just reworked a bunch of them and im wondering if i can get some comments on the b/w conversion and other aspects of the photos.

quirky and different. i like the conversion.

thanks kathy!

what happened in number 5? (with the light and the dark corners?

And, I think Harry wants his glasses back! It's not nice to take things from people!

I dig your style.

These are different -- in a great way. I like them, especially the ones with the round glasses, since these accentuate the desired effect.

they are just great! really cool pics.... michael

im still coming back to these this morning! they make me smile!

Thanks.

yeah I really l;ike them as one said, quirky and different.. what process did you use?

Have you submitted your pics to the BOOK yet?

BEAUTIFULLY different!

I like them. The b&w conversion brings out other possibilities...

Absolutely cracking shots mate. which of your lenses did you shoot with? i saw a picture of your ringlight (gonna have to copy you) but was wondering if you could post a picture of the full setup?

nice one!

Good shots - I especially like the B&W conversion on #1 and #2. The eyes on #5 are a little white to me, not sure if you dodged them at all, but they seem a little too 'glowy' or something. JMO.

Well done!

Well, i was trying to fit his entire afro in the frame, and i went too wide, and you're seeing part of the ringlight.

Thanks, I converted to b/w with a fred miranda action. then i applied the lucisart filter very lightly just to give it that pop.

Yeah, I was dead-set in keeping these in color, but then i shot a few in black and white with a 4x5 camera, and i loved the way the turned out.

Thanks man, These were mostly shot with the 50mm f/1.8 and the 24-70 f/2.8. as far as my set up... its basically the light resting on my table, facing the subject thats on a chair in front of a wall. thats it. nice and simple.

Thanks!, I didnt dodge anything but i burned a lot of the hot spots on the faces. the red filter on the conversion blew out some things a little too much.

The last guy kinda looks like me. Nice.
