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.

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.

Hehe - I was going to call it "Don't go into the light!!" I reckon most members here are old enough to remember "Poltergeist". :lol:

Thanks guys! I was actually just using these as test shots for another project but they turned out pretty well in their own right.

I'm going to try it with an old trunk in an attic somewhere; slightly more atmospheric than with an esky between the two cars in my garage!

Definitely an interesting shot. You've captured the light well on Emily too. And although you can't tell it is in your garage it would definitely work well in some sort of spooky setting.

As for Poltergeist, I'm assuming that is a movie? long before my time.....

Cheers LB :lol:

The first Poltergiest movie hit the screens in 1982 so I know I don't have to do the math for you! :oops:

Hmmm, just had a look and the movie came out in June 1982. So it wasn't before my time but I don't think my parents would be allowing me to watch such horror films at my tender age.....

Excellent

An excellent shot, Manta! It is a very simple and yet effective composition very well executed. Obviously, you know how to get the best of your camera.

DOn't know about getting the best out of my camera Zaf, but I try!

Rel - it's just the SB800. I'm always leaving it around and I have to use the on-board in Commander mode to give it a whistle so I can find it again!

Chris - a few holey socks but no Holy Grail, I'm afraid. :D
