[Photo] Kreuzdammer preview

[karohemd]

As I said earlier, there was plenty of light so I was happily shooting along at ISO800 but it was also very inconsistent.
Next time there are strobes, I need to take a lot more photos in short sequence to get lucky more often. I have two or three photos which are absolutely fantastic in terms of subject and composition but have the faces completely blown out. :o(

Anyway, here are some samples I'm really pleased with. Comments and constructive criticism, especially from the photo geeks, welcome.

Looks like you dealt well with crazy lighting of Doom. 'fraid I've no advice to offer on such things, though selective contrast alterations and clone/airbrush photoshopery might be able to deal with the blue 'burn' around some of the bright reflected light.

Compositionally very well put together and particulary liking the strong sense of Atmosphere® particularly in the last three shots :D you can almost hear the metal

You should see the other ones... The exposure was completely random because it would change within a few 100s of a second due to the strobe and trying to focus something so erratically lit was a nightmare, too.

*nods* Thank you! If I can overcome my inability to focus manually, I think I might be getting somewhere.

technical ability is easier learned than an eye for a good shot

True. However, due to the way my vision works/doesn't work (lack of depth perception etc.), it's something that will be very hard to do.
