A day out jousting

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.

Managed a list side seat but facing the sun. Awsome to watch.
Nearly got wiped out by splintered lance a couple of times.

Last one is a great shot, I'd like to see more detail in the shadows though.

Hi Dave
Ironfest, held in the Lithgow showground. It was a bit wet on Saturday, but I believe Sunday was better. Lots of unusual things to see.

As Bob said Lithgow.
It was an interesting day. There were some other photographers about as well. The jousting was what I went there for.

Thanks guys.

I'll have to find out when it's next on. Is it an annual event?

Yep, it's an annual event. Always thought those Lithgow Folks were living in the dark ages.... :lol:

Nice pics, can you recover anything from the shadows?
2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc

I should be able to pull some detail out of the last one fairly easily.
#1 was basicly a silhouette before I gave it a thump in PP.
Hence the colour noise in his face etc.

Colin

This is a good set of images let down by being a touch underexposed. I think you'd be able to give these more punch with a slight exposure or curves adjustment and/or a shadow & highlight adjustment. Shots 2 and 4 are the best since both give a sense of timelessness (no modern distractions)
