Thanks for the comments, guys.

I don't do anything particularly elaborate with the conversion. Import 
as DNG, LR BW High Contrast Preset, a few tweaks with the exposure and 
black levels, maybe bring up the shadow slider a bit. Then get out and 
shoot some more.


Here's another gallery of X100 shots.

Image #18 is really intriguing to me. With the backlit hair, the
god-rays, and the almost formal postures and placement, it has the
look of a posed album cover or publicity shot, except it's obviously
not.

Question. How do you prefer to do your bw conversions? Or did you do
these in-camera?

You obviously work best under pressure!

That camera is music in your hands mate.

I am seriously considering an X100

That post speaks volumes, Derby.  1.5 hours would be a good day for
me.  I like the set, especially the sitting couple.  She's giving you
a glancing look that is hard to read.
