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.

Something I've been experimenting with after seeing a few similar shots around the place. Still have a bit of work to do getting the correct lighting, positioning the colour board flush, etc etc.... but here's my attempt so far. And yes.... the plexiglass is terribly dirty... going to clean it shortly :)

Comments or critique quite welcome.

two books under the left side of the moniter and you have the start of someting with a bit of deep etching that would be a stand alone image or something that could be used with say a football match........

I hope this is where your image is heading.........

Mark

I came back to this a few times before commenting. For me this is conceptually great, but I'd also like to see it with some equally strong, but less bright, colours since it just seems too "neon" to me. Say electric blue rather than cyan and maybe a cherry red. Perhaps even add some metallic colour for more textural contrast (gold or silver). Of course this all might look like doggy doo, just a thought. You're certainly on the right track. PS I wish people would stop posting shots that required an SB800 to work. My lust is getting really bad :wink:

thanks for the comments stubbsy... much appreciated...

i reckon you could get away with this with a normal halogen light... as long as it's bright enough... might be worth a try for you?

Very nice image. Very nice.
What is the reflective surface?

Did you just have the SB800 set up and fired remotely then? How do you fire the SB800? Is it tiggered by the onboard flash or is there a hot shoe connector connecting it?

The more i see this the more an sb800 is on the top of the list.

surface is plexiglass in my studio.

the sb800 was set to remote and 1/1, fired via the onboard flash in manual mode. onboard flash is covered with some cardboard to stop it reflecting off of the object.
