[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I like much the black and white but I do not know by which end to treat it because I never manage to obtain nuances comparable with our old paper photos.
Is necessary it to photograph in black and white directly (can be in Raw) or to then transform the color into black and white (by grayscale on PS as I made on the photograph that I present to you), I do not know.
Also, I thank you for all criticisms which you will want to have well the kindness to make because I would really like to be able to improve me in this type of photos.

J’aime beaucoup le noir et blanc mais je ne sais pas par quel bout le traiter car je n’arrive jamais à obtenir des nuances comparables à nos anciens tirages papier.
Faut il photographier en noir et blanc directement (peut être en Raw) ou transformer ensuite la couleur en noir et blanc (par grayscale sur PS comme j’ai fait sur la photo que je vous présente), je ne sais pas.
Aussi, je vous remercie de toutes les critiques que vous voudrez bien avoir la gentillesse de faire car j’aimerais vraiment pouvoir m’améliorer dans ce type de photos.

Beautiful portrait. The eyes looks unreal.
I like the light and beauty of the child expression.
Bravo Gaby.

Gaby this is a lovely portrait. I would suggest you go to http://www.arraich.com/ps6_tips_dduotones1.htm which is a tutorial on creating duotones for b & w in ps. The site has an extensive list of tutorials and I bought the cd rom with his advanced tutorials. I do recommend his methods although some of them have quite a learning curve. Very nice work!

Great photo indeed! I am a fan of heavy contrasts in b&w phots, but this one sure proved me wrong. No heavy contrasts and still it looks fantastic! Very well done here! As for your question, it actaully depends on the person, some prefer to shot originaly in b&w while others prefer to work it with sofware, there's nothing like trying a few photos and see what works best for you.

Gaby, your picture is beautiful as is the child. The B&W works well here. This is a beautiful portrait, but I also like the one in the workshop....both are good.

LE noir & blanc ça change hummm? J'aime bien! J'ai fais un petit workshop histoire de voir si ça aide ta demande.

Je sais qu'il faut pas blaguer avec cela, mais je n'ai pas pu résister, c'est un bon noir et blanc ou peut être un gris,avec un visage magnifique .
C'est vrai que tu manques de contraste et je vois que tout le monde t'a aidé. J'aime bien le Sepia de "venus".
Je te conseille de faire quelques noir et blans avec l'A2, mais en utilisant le filtre contraste à +1 ou +2 selon la lumière et les ombres du moment.
Tu auras de bons résultats, par contre on en a de meilleures en prenant une très bonne photo couleur et en la transformant non pas en niveaux de gris mais en noir et blanc par traitement des canaux RVB : http://www.treklens.com/workshops/12360/photo2634.htm
nous sommes nombreux sur ce workshop à faire des propositions pour fabriquer du noir et blanc
Bien à toi
