Do I really have to pose!

This is my first official portrait shot and my first black and white image!

As part of a new project for college we needed to collect some close up portrait images, my heart sank...I've only ever taken people shots at family parties and that's only for the parents album!

As for black and white...I knew I could adjust it from colour, but again I wasn't sure where to start, so I put aside some time tonight to have a play with the RGB, contrast and brightness chart, not as easy as I thought...where's the one buttom that does it all!? Lol.

So here we go...! :-)
