Wanaka Mini-meet

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.

Greg,

Could you please PM me details of your hairdresser? :) You are going to provide some serious competition for Ronald, you know.

Good idea to get these shots; well done.

Are you sure about that Gary? Here's another view to help you make up your mind:

The wedding was rainbow themed, and since I'm normally a fairly bland individual, I thought I'd have a go at adding a bit of colour for a change.
Leila had specifically requested that I not get a trim before the wedding - she sees my bushy look as "me".

I managed to get more applause than the bride. Even she squealed when she saw me - this was well out of character.

So much for putting the camera down Greg! (Im also guilty at my recent twin sisters wedding!) I can't wait to see your pano shots.


Great group photo of DSLRSUsers first destination mini-meet! When you said lets get a mini-meet shot I thought it was just the 2 of us - I forgot about Kalindriel / PJS!

Number 3 is a great capture!! Im editing their photos now and I think you got the better angle on that one - tops! (we had a bridesmaid [who was actually a male bm - long story] shaking the tree for the petal effect!)

I have a really scary expression on Glen's face in the 4th one!

I managed to get more applause than the bride. Even she squealed when she saw me - this was well out of character.

squealed...?? more like shrieked! I heard it 4 rooms down!! :D Very cool idea.

Ill post up soon - this is wedding 2 / 4 in editing q!
