More Manly Jazz...

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.

I also took the family out to Manly to check out the Jazz festival. Great weather, atmosphere and music. Pity the kiddies didn't see the fun it it :)

Critiques and comments are most welcome.

For some obscure reason the last 2 B&W’s are what appeal to me. Maybe it’s the beginnings of Jazz back in the B&W days that make these 2 so realistic :D

Thanks Geoff and Chris.

Geoff, I was there on saturday. Like I said Nice day, and got there just in time for Peter McDonald to open proceedings. Also saw Geoff(?) Bell (the Aussie Jazz icon) belt out a few tunes. He supposed to be 91, but I reckon he forget his brith certificate... :D

Last two shots for me, I'm starting to really like musican's in B&W, I think some of Leigh and John's shots are to blame.
The colour shots in this set don't hold much appeal for me, I'd much rather a beach to myself, then to be shoulder to shoulder with the next guy.

Me too. I really like to see jazz musicians in B&W. It seems that for the style of music they play, that that is the best way to see them. I can't understand why. Maybe it's just me.....

Great images BTW.

It's not you Killa, I think a lot of people believe in this sentiment. Cheers!

...you and me both...thats why I took the "crowded beach" photo...so I can remind myself why we dont go to Manly for a surf...

No Sydney Beach IMHO comes close to Whale Beach.

As for the B&W treatment I am glad that it turned out. I have been using Matts excellent B&W conversion technique and then playing with levels and curves...

Cheers
