My New Home this week

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.

after the anzac day parade in sydney i went down to mark my spot on the pressbox for fashion week, a tiny space is where i am going to spend most of this week in.
Markign a spot was a crazy shit fight The official photographer and newspapers get first selection, then the rest of us bolt in and grab whats left the whole process is really crazy i was pushing people around i have just pleasantly conversed with prior to getting in.

at the main venue i got next to Harpers Bazaar which i think is pretty good
Image

at the 2nd venue i beat VOGUE runway direction is at the top
vogue is in 3rd row i'm on 2nd right next to the official photographer (centre spot)
Image

3rd venue, i got right behind the official photographer
Image

i think i did very well, last year i was right on the side 3rd row

Thanks for the insight, Wendell. Fascinating stuff. And here's me just thinking that you rock up on the day and get whatever spot you get. Good luck with the shooting!

Actually, I even kinda like the first photo - it's an interesting image to me, the way the shadows work ;)

might be a good idea to eat plenty of baked beans the day before.
that way people may be keeping further away from you on the day, allowing for clearer shots :lol:

Fascinating insight Wendell, having no knowledge or experience in pro fashion stuff I had no idea it was so competitive but spose everyone's after the same good spots...

Thanks for the insight...

Can't wait to see your work from the show too :)

Thanks for the insight Wendell had no idea that's how it was done. Obviously no 600lb gorillas taking photos :) ( Where does a 600lbs gorilla stand to take photos at a fashion shoot? :lol: )
cheers
