Some Band Live/studio Shots

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.

Wow, these are cool, like 'em all.

#3 is very well done.

How did you process #4? It's a weird effect - but effective, I think. I'd probably have preferred to see the front guy's feet in the shot.
Cheers,

I really find number 1 appealing! And number 3 is just outstanding, that would make a perfect album cover!

Hi Rach, like them all with 3 as the standout, with 4 also a great album cover. 2 is the least favourite as it appears staged.

Wonderful shots .Like everyone else i like the third one a lot . I don't like the noise in the last one but it probably works better in print than on the web in that pictures case .

I've looked at these a couple of times and well.. they are all great..

#1 Love the affect, would really like to know if this was all post processing.. or another method.. (guitar panning?)

#2 Probably the weakest of the shots.. the harsh flash and foreground highlights are a bit distracting but balance out the dark deep nothingness of the tunnel.. has a little less impact then the others

#3 Clearly a stunning image, album cover material, cover of his autobiography.. something.. that needs to be in print.. love the reflections. the stubble.. it all works well together.

#4.. interesting how you go the distortion here, but again.. could be back cover or.. artwork on the lyrics pages for an album...or a tour poster..

As you relatively new to the forum can you spare a minute or so to explain how long you've been into photography.. I'd be interested in what sort of background you've had as your obviously not new to it..
