Tonight Nick was over for dinner, so I decided I would photograph him using some off camera lighting. Well he was none too co-operative, so I dug out one of Brit's toys yet again. Set the toy train on a black velvet background with one flash high on the right hand side set to 1/2 power. Second flash set low on the left of the camera set to very low output. Image then taken into photoshop with a contrast adjustment and NIK effex silver to convert to black and white with a sepia toning. The more I follow this project the more I realise that I am really drawn to B&W images.

Nick has promised that he will allow me to photograph him next Sunday when I go down to Geelong to photograph the horses he works with, so will make the most of the opportunity then.
