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.

Red Carpet event in sydney for 50 years of TV

Well.. I went to the red carpet event, and while I managed to be in a top spot for taking photos I was very frustrated by some casino special security guard.

I was in a legitimate position and all, but I swear I think he thought he was in the United States secret service protecting the president. He did his damdest to always be standing right in front of me while I was taking photo's. He wasn't a small guy either.. I swear he was like 6 feet tall in all directions.

Anyhow, had the above not been the case, and I hadn't done something stupid like had VR turned on during all the flash shots, I probably would have had a lot more really nice shots.

Having said that, I have a fair few that turned out quite nice. Here are just a couple from the night. I'll probably have the rest on my website sometime over the next few days.

Unfortunately, the movement of everything was very quick and I had to snap very quickly hence a lot of my images turned out rather soft or blurry. I also ended up using the 24-120VR due to how close I was to them.

Comments welcome.
