Just messing around with my in-laws and i saw the opportunity to try a slightly sidelit portrait. Having just been reading Understanding Exposure and these sidelit portraits I slightly underexposed to get the shadow effect - not sure if I got it right but any brighter and the highlights blew out completely. This is a personal shot but is very representative of my mother-in-law! B&W avoided a lot of distrcation the kitchen background.
