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.

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.

Well Rokkstar really. Taken at the Ferry Hop. While I tend not to do portraits, sometimes I like to do so for a bit of variety. Shot #2 was taken with Matt's 85/1.8. All other shots were taken with my new :) Nikkor 28-70/2.8

And if you can't get enough - there's more Rokkstar HERE :D

Like #1 the best here Peter. Use of split light and the backgound really add to the mood/feel of the shot. Matt the D200 looks good on you :wink:
cheers

Heeeeeey Rokkstar! Excellent work Peter, we are really going to miss Matt when he heads back to the UK, some great shots.

#1 is so damn cool, he makes cameras look trendy, almost like a weapon.

#1 is a winner - looks almost posed ;)

The others are nice, casual candids. Cool!

Thanks for your comments people. I just find Matt a really interesting subject. BTW #4 is Matt scoping the territory for the first shot in THIS POST

I think these are great shots that work well as a series. Maybe you can find a picture of Matt in which he doesn't hold a camera, to round it off?

Cheers
Steffen.

Stubbsy,

#1 is a masterful bit of portraiture. These images aren't your normal caper, but you seem to have hit the spot with this image. Excellent.

#3 ... nice crumpler :D

That is one big poser if I do say so myself! :lol:

Great series of pics Peter, you had a very co-operative and not so camera shy the subject matter which really added to the images.

Matt should start charging people $$$ :D
