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.

Fashion show

Attended a small fashion show at a shopping centre tonight. The show was part of the L'Oreal fashion week which is currently happening in Melbourne. These were consumer brans mostly.

The lighting wasn't fantastic so had to rely on flash mostly, hence the shadows.

Fash seems to have washed them out. Next time try bouncing or diffusing the light.

Speaking of flash techniques, this great site was linked in another recent post regarding flash diffusers: http://www.planetneil.com/faq/flash-techniques.html

The first two seem a bit washed out but the 3rd is spot on. 4th looks like focus wasn't quite there.

Would have loved to have come but totally forgot about the VIP night.

You got some good eye contact there Alex. Pity about the lighting needing a flash. If you'd let me know I could have come along with my 85/1.4.

Cheers

Thanks every one. I take your point about flash washing out skin tones.

Here is one to redeem myself :-)

P.s. John didn't realise you were in Melbourne yesterday.

The skin tones are great in that last one Alex.
With the first 2 shots, maybe you could have backed the flash off a bit or diffused it a little.
Cheers
