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.

Lighting conditions were very poor, and I was shooting at up to ISO3200 on the D2H, using the 24-140 or the 50mm f1.4.

Gary excellent to see you there!

Anyone else who missed it did miss something very special

Leigh your a multitalented powerhouse, your performance was witty, well executed and inspiring.

I was shooting with the 70-200VR f2.8 at ISO1600

Theatre is one of the coolest things to shoot full of photographic opportunity
a real test of your compositional skills and attention span.

the whole production was great apart from the mood lighting for effect.

You know you're allowed to use a flash right?

The lights already blind us. Hell, I make sure I try to look up at the lights so as to avoid looking at people!!!

What disappoints me greatly about these and the other pics I've seen here is that Leigh spoke endlessly before the event about being forced to have his head pushed between some charming young lady's ample bosoms and how he had to use all his skills as an actor to acct appropriately. Nowhere do I see this scene or the aforementioned breasts.

Well, during rehearsals, she forced my head on her breasts.

During the play, she adlibbed and just pushed me down on the bed and jumped on top of me.

I must admit, I was scared one of the nights that she was going to hurt me... :oops: :lol:

Did it occur to you that she might have been putting your head there in order to indicate to you she wanted a little rehearsal practice one on one after hours and that she did the bed thing to try and get through to you she wasn't just pretending :wink:

The wedding ring she wore kind of threw that one out of the picture.
