I used a wireless remote, D70s kit lens and SB800 on a tripod to get this shot.

Then Photoshop to post PP.

Hope it works as the site it's uploaded onto plays up sometimes.

Thanks

Took me a good few shots to get it right... I set the camera up on a tripod with the SB800 fixed to it. I got close to the lens, enough so i could see my reflection in it.

I posed and fired the remote.. after a few attempts, i got what i was after...

PP consisted of....

Adobe CS, created a new layer from the original and then..

Converted the new layer to black and white using the Channel mixer, ticking monochrome and adjusting the levels to how dark or light i wanted the black and white image.

After i was happy, i turned down the opacity of the black and white layer to show the original layer and thus bring the colour through a little.

When i was happy, i flattened the image and then did and auto level.

The i went to the edit option and clicked on fade auto levels.

This brings a box up and gives you the option of using a slider control to fade the levels.... there is also a drop down menu which i used to use the screen filter.

I did that and then i was finished.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Switch,

Took a few shots to get it exact, but after a few poses, i managed to get what i wanted..

I was quite impressed with the 18-70 lens too...

Thanks again.......
