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.

Some backstage photos at Nana Judy launch on Friday night. Once again it was a club environment with bugger all lighting so had to make do with what I had. All shots were at ISO1600 and f4. I really should have stuck the flash in manual mode but in a rush, I left it in TTL :?

hey

got some nice setups in the first 2
great treatment and tone

you got the look right but i think especially for streetwear the setup in number 2 is a bit passive they look like pretty wild people you should of got them doing the wild thing lots of attitiude that would of suited the streetwear theme

and i think ttl mode on the flash is fine
im assuming you couldn't bounce the light anywhere because the walls were brown and the ceilling may have been black which is great for mood but useless for fancy flash rebounding tricks

These are a good group of images, but I guess you know that :wink: For me #1 stand head and shoulders over the others. It has much more impact because it doesn't look staged like the others. It would be easy to think they were just kicking back and relaxing whereas the others aren't as naturally posed. Compositionally it's quite strong too with you drawn to the central girl and the eye then free to wander left or right to take in more of the image. Well done.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Stubbsy and Wendell - points taken on board. The room was pretty dark and there wasn't much chance in bouncing the light off.

Wayne, Peter has echoed my thoughts concisely so I won't say too much.

I presume you had the one flash on camera? (I couldn't read in your description if it was on or off camera, if you did mention :) ) I think the lighting in the first gives it a really cool, edgy type of atmosphere.

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.
