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.

Tonight I was shooting a No Doubt cover band (that my brother is in, he's the guitarist) as they were performing at the Sexpo Unofficial After Party at Fox Studios' Comedy Store.
For an after party based on an exhibition that has to do with the porn industry, it was surprisingly unsexy.
It mostly consisted of drunk guys trying to get with the very few women who were for some reason ridiculously scantily clad (not that I mind that, mind you)...
There were a couple of girls who were probably in some films or dancing around some poles, but alas... I should've charged my battery as it died while the band was finishing and I didn't notice the girls until about an hour later. 
Regardless... here are ze pics.

Leigh,
That last shot is the one for me - so much happening there in the head-space. As a boring old fart who never attends gigs any more I also found the first one of the singer being sliced by the green rays intriguing and something of an education also.
There was a time when I shot almost every show that came to town for a muso's magazine which is now defunct. Maybe I overdosed.
I was reminded of one such event on Saturday night when Olivia Newton-John was on the telly. She played the old Regent Theatre in George Street. There was the usual clutch of snappers crouched at the front of the stage directly at the foot of her mic stand getting the usual snot-shots straight up the hooter. (With their big Metzes.) I stood over at the side out of everybody's way shooting with a 400mm on a shoulder brace and at her face height. She saw me and came over to her mark at my side of the stage and did half a song straight down the barrel of the lens. I always thought that was her way of thanking me for not disturbing the paying customers.
What was interesting seeing her at such close range was that as soon as she hit her mark two really finely focussed pencil spots with very slight blue filters on them lit up and just clipped her cheekbones from high behind to enhance her features. Production like that don't come cheap!
Oh, by the way, it was in the days long before the need for batteries - as I recall I did not even have an electric-thumb attached.

An F2 I guess?
The work that goes into a full scale production is really quite amazing though. You mention the lights coming in from on high and behind her; just a small part of the attention to detail that is needed. g.

Leicaflex SL2 as I recall Gary. (It did have a button cell for the internal spot-meter which I seldom relied on.)
Cheers,
