Wow! Some attitude! Did you capture it like that or is it processed

Very good.

Thank you.

Yes, that's pretty much as captured, with BW conversion of course.  
They were heavily backlit by the evening sky.

Hi, Marnie, High-Key, normal, and Low-Key respectively refer to the tonal range 
of the print. High-Key is a print with very little dark area. Normal is, of 
course, a print with a full tonal range. and Low-Key is a print with very 
little light area. Properly done there should be some shadow detail in a 
high-key print (usually the eyes in high-key portraits), and some high-lights 
in a low-key print (again usually the catch-lights in the eyes in the case of 
portraits. So properly the prints really do have a full tonal range but the 
high-lights predominate in a high-key print, and the shadows predominate in a 
low-key print.

Thanks, graywolf. In a photography class I took once (yeah, that one) one of 
the students shot children in what I suppose was a high key manner. Not all 
the time, but some of the time. It often made for a very striking portrait.

Nice to learn new terms, especially for things I've already seen.

High key is generally accomplished by obtaining an exposure at the high 
(overexposed) end of the exposure spectrum, but not necessarily blown 
out.  The classic example is a nearly white shot of a forest with 
freshly fallen snow, where minute differences in bright shadings 
comprise the bulk of the 'feel' of the picture.


Low-key is the opposite.  Think of a portrait of a person lit by 
candlelight in a smokey bar, for example.


The trick is maintaining just enough detail to achieve the artistic 
effect desired.
