Thanks, Andy. Metering is simple--I let the camera do it. I shoot full auto. I like sunny days, as this one was, because they give me good contrast before I begin. In post, it goes to Silver Efex for conversion to B&W, then it gets "structure," which increases contrast. Then I increase the darkness for further contrast. In this case, it was relatively high to begin with. The pack on the guy's side is black in color, and his shirt is dark blue, both making it easier. And he's back-lit. Basically, I just adjust the blacks and the whites separately in Silver Efex, then adjust them together (as "contrast") in Elements. Occasionally, near the end of the process, I'll use the burn tool on the blacks to hit just certain spots. Hope this helps.
