Well as always critique is welcomed as always. A first for me, was my first big stage!!! I have to admit that some of the shots rank as some of my best ever.

Enjoy lads!!!! and maybe ladies.

I can't keep up with women's fashions these days. Are RAF officers jackets all the vogue?

Nice pics Simon. Who is this Emma please?

What got me was the jacket was longer than the dress!!!

Emma is the singer for a band called The Modern, a sort of modern day Ultravox. Athough that said, she is also an actress.

As for the jacket, you have to bear in mind that Electronica is very big on the gay/alternative scene.

Really nice mate... i know how difficult it is to get that kix of exposure, sharpess and colour... .

Well done spot on if you ask me...

What were the settings...?
Daz

depends on the cam TBH mate

Roughly

D200
125/sec F2.8 - F4 with -2 ev. About ISo 1000

D70s
160/sec - 200/sec F2.8 - F3.2 About ISO 1000

Both spot metered

Problem is now, I have sooooooo many pics that would be good entries for the comp I can't decide :rolleyes:

Well done Simon -- I particularly like the second one with the blue lighting :thumb::thumb:

Nice one! :thumb:

You've cut her feet off? ;)

Lighting and colours are fantastic!

first one is great :thumb: not sure on the pose in the 2nd one, pretty good quality bearing in mind the ISO too :)

agreed - first one is great. pose is a little odd in the second.

The pose on the second 1 is her trying to bounce around teh stage, but being restricyed by a tight belt!!! It was already riding up, if she'd got any more enthusiastic it would have been round her waist!!!! :norty:

And another 1, this unlike the others I submitted for approval, is it me or does anyone else get reminded of Marlyin Monroe looking at this?

1429 ain't bad either!

hahahahahahaha


I'll look when I get home, the comps in work are so pants they don't even have flash installed. You wouldn't believe I work for a Financial IT + comms company!!!! :eek:

I like that one far more than the other two at the top (not that I dislike the other two). :thumb:

Are you sure that's a dress? looks like a long T-shirt to me! ;) :D

Seen the faders on ministry of mayhem this morning :thumb:

hee hee, yeah, heard they were going to be on it. I never bother watching stuff like that, just too fake for me, I'd rather just meet them down the pub.
