NEW GLASSES
Celebrating Yousef's new pair of glasses
-----------------------------------------------------
This is my strobist shot of my eldest, Yousef, posing against a scrim with a bare SB-900 in the back to light up the background and separate him from the background. My key light was another SB-900 burried inside a beauty dish with a diffuser (a DIY beauty dish for my speedlights) and it is camera left.
A few tweaks in Photoshop is all I needed to bring this photo to this state. I wanted it in B+W because color will take away from his emotion.
I hope you find this shot educative and interesting.

Technical:
Camera: D90
Lens: 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 40mm
f/4.5 1/200 secs @ ISO 150
2 Flashes on 2 light stands fired with Nikon Creative Light System with the popup flash in commander mode.

I shot this image three months after I got my first DSLR. I processed a year later with RGB and LAB channels ,curves and masks. Photoshop, does rescue photos!
Viva Photoshop!
