I shot this today while trying out a new lens. And the light and b&w conversion, made it look so romantic in a 1930ies kind of way. So I thought id share it.

Just trying out a new lens? I think you're not doing yourself justice. If this is just a test then I want to see the first "real" photos Shocked

It's very reminiscent of the star stills of the 30s, nice result indeed.

Excellent portrait, and indeed very retro. Good B&W conversion, too. May I ask which lens was it that you were testing?

You must have used a (deep) red filter right? The sking tones and esp. the eyes remind me of IR shots, since it makes all blemishes disappear and gives that silky appearance your portrait so nicely shows.

An orange filter. And then I use ctrl-3 or ctrl-4, not sure what the functions name is in photoshop, but it marks highlights and lights in the picture. Then I copy that selection into a new layer. Apply a bit of gaussian blur on the new layer and mask out everything I want unaffected. Lastly I put it to overlay and make a copy of it to make it even brighter.

Then I go thru the image and burn down shadows and lighten areas to make gradients quite harsh but even.
