The Photographer & Her Subject

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.

Been a while since I have had time to pick up the camera. Snapped these off this morning while playing with one of my strobes.

The morning sun is coming in from camera left and the strobe was directly beside the camera. I was deliberately trying to get the blown highlights and using the strobe to fill in the darker areas. I wanted this contrasty type of effect and am happy with what I have got.

Click on the image for larger versions. D70s 50 1.4

f/5 @250 200 iso Lit mainly by the strobe, bit strong but it was the effect I wanted.

Must be a bit warmer up your way Craig - or Jen doesn't feel the cold! I think you've acheived what you set out to do. Like the composition too!

Thanks for the comments guys. Jen was in a great mood whilst waiting to get ready for work. Mood changed when she discovered she had lost her handbag the previous night. Dad went searching in some of the Montville shops later in the day and found it intact, good mood restored. :D

Its a bit colder up here on the hill and strange as it may seem she does feel the cold. No sense no feeling. :lol:

Great fun images Craig. I particularly like the second in terms of composition and treatment.
