Ouch!

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.

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

Ouch!

Very good, like the flying through the air of the second one.

What sort of shutter speed? The third one looks not quite as sharp as the first two.

Did you use a tripod or Monopod?

You should see about selling those to the club or something.

Rusty - I always use a monopod at the games.

Shutter speed varied between 1000, 1250 and 1600. A 6pm kick-off coupled with a moody and overcast sky meant lousy light conditions.

I switched from Spot to Matrix Metering, and I also reverted back to Closest Subject Focus from Single Area Focus.

Owing to the financial problems at the club I give my services freely in return for free admission.

They look great mate.. In fact they look professional.

Looking at the images though i begin to see why the club is not in a financial position to pay you. There's no crowd!!!!

Well done.

Thanks Killa............I'm flattered! I'm eventually aiming for a gig in the new A-League which is launched this year. Would love to make some cash out of this hobby! Yeah right!

And the reason for no crowd? Those parts of the ground are closed to spectators since our.....erm....demotion to State League last season.

I suppose i should say that i once supported Perth Glory (Probably still will in the new A-League too, although the Brissy team is also an option) so i was very disappointed by the Wolves V Glory final a few years back where Wollongong fought back from 3-0 down at HALF TIME to win the bloody game 4-3. I suspect the Glory players might have had a pre-emptive bottle or two of celebratory champers during the break.

Oh well. Such is life.
