first try with black and white

After I learned there's a lot more to black and white photography than just desaturate, I think I'm going to like black and white photography.

This is my first attempt at b&w and am pretty happy with how they came out. If you're interested, there's lighting and post-processing info in my blog listed in my .sig.

Very nice. I might bring the right side levels slider just a hair in to the left as the eyes are a touch grey. The main issue you'd have is if you printed it, the shirt would disappear into the background. While barely visible on a calibrated monitor, very few printers can resolve that sort of low shadow detail with separation.

With a similar portrait set-up I used a background light to provide separation. The bonus with b/w is that you can use any old light you want, the temperature doesn't matter.

looks great!
