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.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This is something I was playing around with a couple of months ago. We did a lot of little things "different" with our wedding, just to make it a bit more personal and memorable.. Like getting personalised little chocolate wrappers with our pictures on them and a thank you note to go on everyone's place on the tables. And designing our own little logo to go on the invites, menus etc.
We went with a bit of a footy theme because we are both footy tragics. Instead of chucking bouquets and garters, we tossed mini footballs, boundary umpire style. The colours were navy blue for Geelong (pfffttt) and red for the mighty bloods.
So anyway, I thought it would be hilarious to do something a bit different for our order of service booklets to be handed out before the ceremony. Why not mock up a front page that looks like a copy of the Footy Record, that you'd buy before you went into the MCG, or Telstra Stadium.
So, I had a concept in mind but I had to get the shots first. My studio consisted of our living room, a light bedsheet held up by microphone stands (!) and a single SB-800 fired wirelessly off-shot to the left (plus some fill flash from the D200's onboard flash).
First, a shot of my replica 2005 premiership trophy:
It must be said that it is BLOODY HARD to get good shots of shiny things because you get reflections of EVERYTHING in them. Next, we had to get shots of us in silly poses....
.. and then hack them all together in photoshop, including placing the logo I designed for the wedding on the trophy
Obviously I haven't posted the many dozens of dud shots, experimental poses etc etc etc... Just thought I'd share my little fun experiment - they were a roaring success on the day, people loved the front cover, and thought it was "very us"

Nah, that was just for the front cover
What we DID have though, is posted below, along with another one of our little personal touches.. Our cake-toppers! I love em, they were custom-made, and actually cost more than the cake itself!!
I didn't take the photo of us.. but I did take the photo of the toppers earlier tonight, so there's your relevant content
