Cool dudes on a bench

rgbivens

I was out on a photo assignment on Friday night down on 'the strip' the bar/club street here in Stillwater. I was there to shoot some bands performing at one of the bars. I was told they went on at 8 but the opening gig didn't start till 10:15 so I had quite a bit of free time. I walked up and down the strip for awhile shooting around and talking to people. Then I started heading back to the pub where I was to shoot and saw these two fellas having a smoke outside on a bench so I started talking to them, asking where they were from what band they were here to see and what not. They were pretty cool so I asked if I could shoot some shots of them and they were down with it. So here is my favorite one of the 5 or 6 that I shot.

I was using a Sigma 14mm f/2.8 on my D70

I converted from color to black and white using the channel mixer and added a tiny bit of noise to give it a more grungy look.

C&C please...
