Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

A few shots from the Brisbane motor show a few weeks ago.

The Harley Davidson fashion parade. Trying to shoot from within a tight crowd, no flash, hand held, at fairly slow speeds is not easy. Makes me appreciate more, the great work that I have seen from Wendell.

This girl had the best chassis of "anything" on display at the show.
Allthough I do not think much of the cloths as appropriate protective gear for motorcycle riding.

If the last couple are too risque let me know and I will remove them.
C+C welcome. I do know they are pretty ordinary.

craig sharp stage shots well done man!

even up to now i still tkae blurry runway shots, sometimes i forget when using push and pull zooms(70-200 and 28-70) to wait for the camera to focus before i take the shot hence the slight blur

The self portrait in the mirror in # 1 is interesting but like every other bloke on this forum number 4 is the pick :D

Wendell. Kit lens @70mm, 1/90, f4.5 iso500. When I walked in the motor show I stumbled upon the fashion parade by accident. It was just finishing so I decided to go back for the next one to try out some shots. The desire to try some fashion shots was entirely inspired by your work, it had nothing to do with the models.

Mark did not notice the self portrait until you mentioned it. Young bloke in the car is my son, he loved the fashion parade.

Thanks for the comments guys.
