FIlm noir development

I went with the common convention of circling cigarette smoke in my development. To create image I took a picture of a cigarette in an ash tray with smoke coming off of it. i then went into photoshop and turned the saturation right down to get a black and white image. I then adjusted the brightness/contrast and shadows/highlights to get a better looking image overall that looked like it belonged to the noir genre.
