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.

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.

Hi Guys. It's been close to a year since my last post here - other interests had taken precedence for a while. Anyway last weekend I found myself taking photos for my sister-in-law's wedding so I found myself needing to remember what I used to know about taking photos. Turns out I didn't remember everything, but photoshop helps after-the-fact. The main reason for posting is to publicly thank mr killakoala for his generosity in loaning me thousands of dollars worth of equipment. It's so greatly appreciated. I was determined to use my existing lenses, but once I put the 28-70 on my camera I didn't want to take it off. ... and I figured while I'm here, I may as well post an image from the day. The weather was rainy, the light was poor, and I was stressed. The majority of shots required a long shutter speed. This image was a 1.3 second exposure, so credit to the bride for staying so still.  Cheers, Owen.

Hi Owen,
This is a nice soft shot, nice effect. I think it would look good with a black frame.
What camera are you shooting with/were you shooting with on the day?
Might have helped to bump up your ISO a bit to enable a faster shutter speed? Food for thought anyway.

Howdy Geoff.
I'm still shooting with a D70 - i was really scared that it would choose to break halfway through the wedding, but it kept going strong.
Looks like I shot this at ISO 200, I was flicking it around all day, but I think in this shot because it was so dark I was concerned with the banding that might show up at a higher ISO.
Cheers,
Owen.

I can understand why you didn't want to pop the ISO up a bit more then.
Also - it needs to be rotated a few degrees clockwise...

I agree - Rotate it to get those stairs horizontal and this will be a winner.

Very nice shot!
I quite like the light composition and colour.

Howdy chaps. You know, a crooked image is usually the first thing I spot, but I was so absorbed in the rest of the processing involved in this that I completely overlooked the crooked-ness of it! Thanks for the advice, here's a straighter and slightly cropped version. I think it looks much better.  regards, Owen.
