My Grandmother
Never attempted people before - so just been in the house annoying my Grandmother and uncle (who is down on holiday from London for a few days). THey were very tolerant (for the most part 
) as I played about with different settings....anyways...feel free to please give me some tips - but I quite liked this one (despite the fact she is sticking her tongue out!). 
...and My Uncle - trying very hard to watch the programe and not laugh at me falling off the chair trying to get the picture!

Both lovely candid shots that I'm sure you'll treasure! 
I think there's very little contrast though, which can help in B&W shots. The eyes, in number 1, are very grey looking. There's much you can do to improve this, I think dodging (or is it burning, I can never remember!) helps there. I'm sure someone else will give advice on that though.
Good try though! Would like to see the colour versions too if possible, as that can make helping a bit easier
