Black and White Portrait

By Scott O. Smith | Published March 10, 2009

Canon 40D * EF-24-105mm f/4.0L * ISO 100 * 1/125 second * f/9.0

I setup my studio in my basement last week and wanted to practice on some new lighting techniques.  I was able to get some good results of my wife and daughter.  I’ve been playing around with black and white photos lately and am pleased with the results.  I used a Adobe Lightroom preset that a fellow photog gave me that I really like.  I included a diagram of my light setup below.

    Thanks for including the diagram, but I’m wondering, what kind of lights/strobes are you using?

    Also seeing that you provide as much EXIF as you do, I would like to also see the focal lenght used.

    Lots of nice pictures on your blog. I keep popping by every week in case there should be anything new around -and it usually is :)
