In the spirit of the Raymond Chandler quotes earlier, I have a Noir guy for you this evening. My ever-patient First Reader modeled for me. This was shot at 35mm for my lens challenge (for those keeping track) under fluorescent lights with no flash. I took the RAW file into Photoshop, masked the background, and played with filters and settings until I got the one that made him go Oooh! Can I have you send me that one?
Under the Noir Guy you'll find a couple of other shots from the 35mm lens setting challenge.
