If I'd had the time to sort it, I would've let them do another set outside Solus during a quiet soundcheck. Particularly like the one of them lying down. Hope you had a good time!

'Cause I just loved the colour postprocessing you had already going on! It's a bit more subtle and in my opinion more suitable for "snaps". But always good to see some new stuff from you!

For black and white, I do as accurate as possible colour balance in CS3 Raw editor, then use Rob Carr's B/W action in PS. I have a few preset curve/level adjustments to boost contrast, usually I use a few small changes as opposed to one large curves change. So basically, I play about with stuff a lot. Thanks for all the comments, very much appreciated!

It has a very film feel about it. However, I think sometimes it's really come at the cost of a lot of your midtones, some of these photos have really blown contrast. Also in some of them the saturation is a little too much for my liking. These two are the best examples of the more subtle effect I like that you've achieved: http://harrisonreid.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/mg_0102collla.jpg http://harrisonreid.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/mg_1179joshscreen.jpg But these ones I'm not so much a fan of: http://harrisonreid.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/mg_0607colour.jpg http://harrisonreid.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/mg_0131jenn.jpg Also, no worries if not, but could you give me a brief run down of what kind of process you use for editing your black and whites? They have a really captivating look to them and I've been trying to achieve the same, to varying success. Cheers man, nice entry!
