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.

Well, I decided to give the band stuff another go.. Last week I asked them (Tim) to use any colours but RED for their lighting, and I am grateful, as I think it helped me. And once again my D70 was at it's limits, but I'm a little surprised at how well it coped.. (can't even imagine what a D3/D300 is capable of!) I was switching between 'Spot' and 'Centre Weight' metering. Spot was a little confusing I must admit and it will take me some getting used to I reckon... Anyway, honest critiques are what i'm after.  Thanks.

Maaaaate!!! These are really good, I like the B&W conversions. I hope the band are happy with them. You keep going down this road, you won't be trackside anymore..... Nice work. 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc http://www.awbphotos.com.au

Cheers lads. Was a fun night. Bit out of the comfort zone though.. They didn't have chairs this time, so I had to go up-front to snap. An 85mm would have been perfect I suspect, the 70-200 was overkill in terms of size and tired arms.. Dunno Alan...Love my motor-sport! Although it's only on once a month for the drags, so maybe this can fill the spare days..? Last edited by Pehpsi on Thu Mar 20, 2008 10:35 am, edited 1 time in total.

Nice work!
I'm in Newtown - I'd be keen to join you on a band shoot, if it isn't too daunting for the band. I've done a few with my D200 and it's quite a challenge - your shots are very clear. Were you using flash?

Thanks mate.. Not sure when i'm shooting next, but i'll keep ya updated.. I didn't use flash during the night. The lighting wasn't too bad actually, probably could've dropped the ISO to 1000 for some members, but chose not to, and just stuck with shutter adjustments..
