Friends
I stumbled onto this shot, and it was superb. Not your usual XMM shot and the simple B/W highlights nature was great.

It was taken with:
Now comes the issue, can someone advise on whether I can do without the serious studio equipment and still capture this?
I am not keen on simply using photoshop, which I seldom use to manufacture this shot.
Any ideas?
I have my DSLR, a SB 900, plus some older model TTL flashes for older film based Nikons and I can buy some background material if needed.
Thanks
Pete
