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.

Hi Guys

The client gets the DVD tomorrow, im not sure how they will feel about that. Im not totally happy with them, but a select few I was really happy with. I did indeed learn alot and would do things differently next time.

Things like full length shots, more of those. Change a few of my settings, add in a extra stop of light to just about every shot (which I did via PP as I shot RAW all night) just tweaks to get the shots RIGHT in the camera rather than in PP. White Balance, that kind thing which I was lucky to correct.

More shots of the bar, staff, venue itself next time too.

Massive learning experience, so lucky to have done it! Just hope the client likes them

Thanks for your feedback guys!

I am sure you had a great time taking the shots and the atmosphere must have been fun.

Thanks! Glad you like them - the 580EX worked flawlessy as did the camera all night. Didn't even use a full set of batteries and just nigh on filling a entire 4GB card! Glad I shot RAW for my first gig - JPG would have been so unforgiving.

how was the flash aimed, assuming it was an external flash,
Because the background is black and the ceilings are high at clubs, does it make a difference to aim the flash upwards? or were all your flash shots aimed straight at the subject?
Would the flash be quite annoying at a bar?

Flash was pointed direct with stofen omni bounce to soften it a bit... black roof would absorb all the light so no point doing that ! :)
