there was an all-staff meeting today here at MIHV uganda hq (our house). we did staff photos afterward. a number of folks got individual pics with odin, too.
it's hard to expose BLACK skin and WHITE skin together correctly. the parallel that comes to mind is a black tux and white wedding dress together. btw, expose for the dress - she definitely wants to see the detail in the dress and he has no problem if his rented tux comes out flat black.
i did the black and white conversion entirely in lightroom. only sharpened in photoshop. it has a multi-channel grayscale mixer that i didn't know was there before. so it gives you a lot of control. for instance getting her hair highlights to show and the green background to disappear.
pretty happy with this. the only thing that comes out a little weird (if you can look at the color version side by side) is the color of odin's shirt, which is darker than this would lead you to believe.
Phil - I have to say "Most beautiful picture I've ever seen" You are an amazing photographer!! You capture the moment, I feel like I'm there with you and your family. It's so good to see you doing so well, I am smiling from ear to ear as I look at your life captured in your pictures. Love & Miss you - Traci
