The Electric Lizard Man

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.

Okay, for those that did not turn up at the Australian Bodypainting Carnivale at Eumundi on the Sunshine Coast last weekend, you missed a great turnout of models, artists and photographers.

This fellow captured the award for the best special effects body art at the Eumundi Body paint carnivale. About 6 hours of work with prosthetics and paint did the trick. Very stunning.

I think your WB is a bit off - he has a bit of a colour cast about him :lol: :lol:

Seriously, well captured - and well done to the winner. Awesome work.
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

These are great images. I'm curious - were they posed like this during the comp or was this after so people could take pics. #1 has wonderful detail both in the subject and in the tree they're in and is a cracker image.

Thanks Peter. After the painting and judging, we all repaired to a special area with various coloured backdrops & lighting supplied and some lovely fig trees around where we were allowed carte blanche with the very co-operative models. We had full access to the painting areas throughout the day as official photographers (those who had entered the photographic competition).

For the evening parade under spotlight, front row seats were reserved for the photographers and everything we wanted was supplied. A credit to the Eumundi Historical Association and Community groups that set it all up.

A very smooth and well set up show. Worth a go next year. Remember that this was one day after the flood rains stopped and they were working with water soluble paints. A very close thing indeed! :)

We expect to see more forum members here next year.

Striking images Colin and beautifully lit. A stroke of genius to create an environmental portrait. The contrast is superb and really enhances the image and theme.
cheers
