All you do is backlight the subject, but block the light in the field of view of the camera with a gobo. I used a second strobe to put a little light on the gobo so it wouldn't be pure black.

Thanks Dan.
I hope you don't mind, but I saw your " Cheese B&W" and wanted to use it in a photo I had. I've been having fun manipulating certain photos and when I saw yours I couldn't resist!

Yeah, it's not for everyone, but the "blown out" effect helps take out the flatness of a b&w night shot like this. I enjoy playing w/ it mainly and find it's a way to learn putting multiple effects together to achieve something totally different from what I started with. I don't have PS, maybe in the future, but for now I'm having fun w/ PSP, learning as I go.

I haven't told you and Jeff, but I dropped your camera, and I dropped his 70-200mm at the same time.
Oh well.
