Thanks to bbcw1980for the desperately needed 18-55mm kit lens for these

All shot on D40 and off camera flash for first 3.

Please comment good or bad about my skillz!

Cheers

Yeah dude I like the off camera flash ones - nice ring lighting in the hair and the shots pop out. I like the textures down there too, nice for portraits.

Now I got some cactus 4's, we'll have to catch up sometime so you can teach me a few things seeing I'm total n00b

 

Last one is my pick of this bunch. The colours add a good sense of contrast and clarity to his clothes/pose etc.

 

Yep, #5 is brilliant. Love the composition.

 

Last 2 I like the most. WD

 

For sure mate! Il be at pullenvale, we should organise somthing back out at the trainyard one day.

Thanks mate!

Much appreciated, il be having a good play in PS soon so I might call on your expertise.

Thanks alot.

 

last one: i like how the arrows direct our eyes to the left, but his gaze is to the right.

 

I'm a superstar! Thanks for the photos boyce. They're really awesome.

(in the last one I was mostly looking right because we were worried we were gonna be taken out by bikes coming flying down that hill)

 

Hah I dont blame you! There were some pissed off riders when I went back with the drummer dude later on. Bloody bikies.
