I like this one, watch for peoples hands and things in the way of the camera, its not really an issue on this photograph, but i think i would of preffered it without the arms on the left or the hand on the right :)


this one and the one next to it are boring, they dont really need to be in your favs, youve got better ones :)

Overall i think the thing in notice about your galleries (from the start to the finish baring in mind ive been looking at them for months now) is that your composition has improved, you seem to have lost some of the colour however.

this may be why, getting to grips with the full frame.

this will also be a reason (i usually default at 400 or 800 - albeit in very dark clubs usually)

also agreed

did you just get the new camera or new lenses aswell? i love getting new gear its always exciting haha! im looking at upgrading to a 40d soon(ish) but i think thats as far as i will go for now, dont really need a full frame for what im doing!

I got the camera with 24-105mm lens, although mainly use my 15mm fisheye. Will try adjusting my ISO etc to bring back some colour. Think its just a case of getting used to the full frame...
Thanks for the input guys.

u should change iso play with ur photos depending on what u want to get. i usually use 400. but i go 100,200 or 800 crazy sometimes even 1600 sometimes.

like i said i like ur stuff but i liked them before too.
this one and the one next to it are boring, they dont really need to be in your favs, youve got better ones :)

i like this one tho id make it a wee bit lighter and made him lil bit less orangey-red.
but yeah when i looked through ur galleries i thought ur faves werent really showing ur best side BUT they ur favs. i often dnt put the favs that other ppl would like me to just fav what i like :)
i like ur work, i'll go now :)

I'm always a fan mate! Trouble is with all these pro's asking for more colourful photo's is that sometimes the club we're in doesn't always lend itself to it (i.e. a dogshit lighting rig bathing EVERYTHING in red) - The Studio, or the really interesting subjects (for me I like to shoot the dj) being up against a flat boring background.

Let go spotting as a pair next week at Slinky and we can bounce ideas off each other eh?
+ i could borrow your fisheye....X

Then look for colourful characters, colour does not always have to come from the lighting.

good point- you can always grab props too... or even make your own lighting- aka glowsticks etc :)
