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.

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.

Leon - can't view the image.

Leon,

That's a truly great capture, despite the obvious problems wuth the subject matter. TBQH, it's one of the best images of me that I've aver seen. Must be because of the mushroom factor. :)

Of course the reality behind that image is that Leon was the one trying to get a good sillhouette style of image of Pa. I was just taking an occasional snap from the other side, and playing with the lights in order to <strike>hinder</strike>help Leon get the effect he was seeking. The upshot was that we really needed a big white sheep. I mean sheet, in order to get a truly blown background. As none was readily available, we abandoned that project and retired to the Chardonnay. :)

Nice Leon, I really like this shot, capturing a well know local photographer in his natural habitat.

This is impressive! Very well done. Is that the modelling light on the flash head?

Cheers
Steffen.

I've actually fired off the lights myself - using the light sensor on them. I do like the effect that's been achieved :)

Awesome work, Leon. But more importantly, how was the coffee?

Very nice shot, Leon!

And btw because I cannot write to the "Announcements" section I will say it here.
Thank you very much for your hospitality, great coffee and framing workshop. Man, you are a legend!

And I also want to thank everyone from the MaxiMeet for a really great day.

Leon, I was impressed when I first saw this image and I am still impressed now. The more I look at it the more I like about it. The lighting is just perfect.

Next time Gary & Pa, would you kindly apply some talcum powder to those bald bonces to prevent the glare... :D

Great snap nonetheless.
