I love shots like this, not managed one yet though!

Excellent, well done

Lovely, I tink the conversion works really well!

Nice work, love the B&W conversion

Superb,
i would love to know your set up and settings.

Would like to shoot some of the War vets if i can this year, as most are in there 80's i fear i may not get to meet many more and dont have any pics as it is.

The pictures were taken in the upstairs hall of our local library, using the fluoresent lighting from above. I used a canon 350D with a Canon EF-S17-55 f/2.8 IS USM Lens at
Aperture: f/4, Focal Length: 44 mm 1/60sec iso 200. Captured as a RAW file and processed in Photoshop CS3

Thats a great capture Fred - Rodin would approve I'm sure.

Great lighting, nice focus (little back of optimal) and the toning is spot on

 

[hairy]

Great shot Something I've never tried.
The B&W really works.

That's a smashing portrait, very well composed and the light is great.

 

[Battlestar]

Fantastic!

Great lighting, nice focus (little back of optimal) and the toning is spot on

Very nice shot, I'd maybe consider introducing a very slight blur to the ear & side of his head as this is where the image is sharpest (& it is very sharp!)
An excellent grab shot you've got there, very nicely done Fred

very gurddddddddddd.. an interesting craggy face... i want to photograph a friends grandma as her face is like a road map..

 

[Charlie C]

really great picture, but being really picky his eyes aren't in focus, especially the closest eye. Other than that nice pic!
