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.

G'day

I had a chance to shot a fashion parade at a charity fundraiser the other day, not something I'd ever tried before and I certainly don't have the right sort of gear either. Still, I had a bit of fun whilst doing it.

The main fashion parade took place with two smoke machines billowing clouds of fog. I haven't worked out how to PP the images to overcome the fogginess yet, so any ideas or advise would be appreciated.

These are a few other snaps from the night. There was a 'Kylie impersonator'

I thought one of the make-up girls had a beautiful face

The 'presenter' did her job

And some of the crowd boogied the night away

Cheers

Bob, i use the exposure offset to -50 to -250 to cut through the haze.
photoshop> image> adjustment> exposure> offset

#2 for me Bob, despite the hair light (light on the hair?) being a bit hot. BTW, in your avatar, did you have to photoshop clothes on to it? Just wondering :-)
cheers, juice

A bunch of Canon stuff (including Canon & Sigma lenses). Way more gear than talent.

3# and 4# for me... Like the colours in 3 and the expression in four however suppose the lighting could be stronger but you can't do much in the candid situation....

Okay, I know I'm a bit slow sometimes, but this question totally eludes me.

My avatar is photo of me as a child, and I don't use Photoshop.

Maybe he means whether you photoshopped clothes on to a naked photo (Which is a heck of a job).
