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.

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.

Here's my mate's Datsun with a brand new coat of paint.

SB800 was in wireless mode from in front of the car.

C&C please

Love the car!

My comments would be if you were to take this photo again. More even coverage of the flash specially down the side. At this point I am only drawn to the front of the car. You may be able to do something with layers in PS with this image though if you are so inclined to even up the exposure a little.

The other thing I would do is remove the plant from the front. The flash has really lit it up and it is distracting, unlike the rest of the background.

But I love the angle, with more even covering there'd be minimal reflections (even though there are now). Other than the exposure I really like this. Very nice colour choice for the vintage and style of car too!

The above comments about needing more light reminded me of this interesting post on dpreview.

What he/she did was set the camera on a tripod, shutter speed to 20 seconds, then ran around the car holding the flash and triggering manually. Interesting technique for those that only have access to one flash unit.
