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.

Going back and re-learning how to use a camera so this week I am falling back strictly on composition, well at least in my book.
Member: smac(Stuart) gave me a tip on how to get the D2x to exceed the 250/100 flash shutter sync barrier with the sb800, I used a shutter of 2000 to get this image of my hand in the bright sun with the flash on manual mode and orange gel attached. ISO 100 f4 24mm white balance 4200K. I was aiming for a stylish look.
Same settings just held the camera in front of me and clicked, this time i didn't get the nice sparkly shine on my face.
At Hyde Park used the infra red filter because i couldn't get a balanced exposure conventionally, although there is still time to learn. 15 secs f8 ISO200 12mm
Same settings at the botanical gardens

Wendell,
You started off by saying that you were focussing strictly on composition, but then you immediately play about with advanced flash techniques and Infra-Red filters... Maybe you should keep it simple???
That said - I quite like the composition of the photo of your face... (apart from the fact that it has your face in it of course...  )

Wendell is starting off with ADVANCED compostion i think 
Nice work on all four images. They are appealing in their own rights.
I especially like the way the IR filter makes the trees look like cherry blossom and the grass like it is covered with fine frost or snow.
The two self portraits are very nice, but remind me of some other work i have seen by an artist whose name escapes me. (It could have been you )
Lovely work Wendell. I look forward to viewing all of your work. Steve. |D700| D2H | F5 | 70-200VR | 85 1.4 | 50 1.4 | 28-70 | 10.5 | 12-24 | SB800 |Website-> http://www.stevekilburn.comLeeds United for promotion in 2014 - Hurrah!!!
