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 think it's terrific. The drab sandstone background really makes the bright colours stand out beautifully.

woah, thats not your typical uni outfit...at least not when i was there :wink: (SE quad corner?)

was this done for a specific purpose, ie fashion etc?

Whilst the light is coming from the left on all three poses and would appear technically correct my brain's first thought was photochop job, whereas the first thought should have been 'nioce', maybe its just the fact that there is quite a bit of light on the right hand pose coming from the right, probably sunlight...

anyway i am the least qualified to give advice in this area so feel free to ignore... :cough: :cough:

SB-800 from left of each pose thru shoot-thru umbrella. Of course a little bit of photoshop was used... I don't think I could cope with 3 of Kim :-)

Maybe, although the sky was quite overcast when we took these...

Thanks to other people for their comments too :-)

:agree:

It took a second look for me to appreciate the colours and how vibrant they look against the chosen backdrop...

Interesting image there John. I have to admit that I have been meaning to do more work around campus, I simply love using the available light in that area. You have created great contrast and have used that stonework to really bring out the dresses. There isnt much else for me to add as most of my thoughts have already been mentioned by others.

Great work, as always. PS care to let me know next time you are shooting, I would love to watch you in action.

Yes... it's a great location Cameron... I'll definitely be going back :-)

I generally try to avoid spectators :-), but if you want to assist as a carbon based light stand on an upcoming shoot, then you're more than welcome...

I have shoots pretty much every weekend coming up, so let me know when you're free. I'll need to clear it with the model though... Some of them are more nervous than me :-)

Would love to observe and learn...and I if the cost of this is being a carbon light stand then I am willing. As for when I am free? Sundays are better than Saturdays, but I def cant do the next two Sundays (sunrise shoot in the blueies + camera market, 7 bridges walk). I'll PM you my contact details...
