Study in Black & White





I've been trying to be more creative with composition since my photos are all starting to look the same. Sometimes I find my 50mm 1.8 Nikkor lens a bit tight to get some angles, but I think the reason lies with our house being so small- it's hard to have the room to back up and get the shot.
I'm also making an effort to 'embrace the background' instead of resorting to the stand and seamless paper.

About the shot: it was taken on Sunday, the 27th, and it was merely for practice. The sun was setting fast and R. wanted to play with Lego's. I did manage to get this one, but I didn't like it in color. After reading the tutorial on black&white conversions on ilovephotography (ILP for short), I decide to give it a try. ILP also had instructions for a 'chocolate' conversion, and I think I like this one better, it has a very vintage, almost timeless, feeling.
