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.

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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

My girls were dancing in the parade and on stage in the Willoughby Spring Fair over the weekend so I took my camera (of course). The parade went well and the girls and the crowd had a great time...  I'd taken my new 85/1.8 for a spin (because it was small, light and fast); however whilst I was hovering there was also a small display of some classic cars near the performance stage where my girls were dancing so... The 85 has a fairly long minimum focus distance (80cm) so it's not macro by any stretch of the imagination but I figured I'd try some more detailed shots rather than do something boring like a shot of the whole car. Here are a couple that I liked... Any thoughts - good, bad, indifferent?

I like the last 3 of these - is that yellow one a 57 Chev? The 600 image is very well composed.

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

#1...brilliant timing to capture a unique image. Brilliant!
And #4. All of the essential elements working together to make a strong, graphical statement.

Thanks Patrick - I'm afraid whilst I might photograph the cars I'm not actually very familiar with them so unfortunately I have no idea  Matt. K wrote:#1...brilliant timing to capture a unique image.

Thanks Matt - I must have been on my game with the dancing - I got a few very well timed shots with the girls all synchronised in the air (not using spray and pray either) By #4 I'm assuming and hoping you mean the 600 one? aim54x wrote:Im loving the close ups! Looks like you are enjoying that 85!
Thanks Cam - it's a nice lens - but... it has horrible magenta chroma - which is easy to remove in Lightroom (just click the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" and drag the Magenta slider over a tick) - I might even have to setup a default import preset for this lens to do just that since it appears in just about every shot with any sort of strong back or side light.

I prefer the bouncing girls. You captured enjoying
themselves.
