New - Well, Kinda :)

Hi All;

I wanted to share one of my resist B/W's that I did of my Grandfather Hands. It was in color but I think that B/W brings in much more depth and feeling or at least I am hoping it does :)

I am curious as what you all think?
Kelly :)

I think your camera crop was an excellent choice and the lighting really seems to lend itself to the B/W technique. ;) You said you thought it might be to slow. Was this hand held below 200 or were you afraid you might lose some of the contrast with a low ISO?; ▶ Reply to This

Sorry, I have cold right now and my head is a little foggy!! I ment that I thought crop of a little low ... I wasnt sure how to crop, whether to have the face and upper body included or to exclude...so I took several shots with face, upper body etc....and this was one of my favorites.

Sorry about that...somedays I think that I should not do anything on the computer, hahahah :)
