Shot my first event yesterday :)

Critique welcome

It might be possible i messed up some of them, since i only got 3 hours of sleep for 3 days, but hey, what an exciting event that was.

When asking for critique please use between 3 and 5 images. Please place your images on separate lines and number them so it is much easier to be sure you and I are looking at the same image.
It takes a lot of time to give a decent C&C on an image and with this we'd be here 40 minutes or more. It's just not feasible. Plus you will get much more thorough feedback if we can concentrate on the few images. With this many you'll get a general overview of what we see and really not anything that can help you to grow from it.

My #1 advice to you is calibrate your monitor. You have some color issues going on in most of these. THey are also extra dark and I think that probably is a result of an uncalibrated monitor.

In addition to MLeek's points above, I would recommend including some context with these images. In a certain setting, they might be very good images, but, without knowing anything about them, they really have no meaning, no appeal and no interest.

I don't get some of these pics.. like the one where the DOF has the focal point on the back on a guys head.. but the speaker is blurry. I'm going to need some context here

@MLeek, thanks for that, but i'm so confused as to how to write the numbers between the images. Also, geezus. I'll have to view them on another (better) monitor to make sure, however, all of your suggestions are taken into consideration
@ceejtank, in that one, i tried to "say" the fact that the judge was speaking, and at that moment, it's much more important than the participant. either way, i'll try make it clearer next time. thanks guys!

BETTER monitor won't matter if it isn't calibrated.
Type "1." put an image in. Hit the enter key. Type "2." put an image in. Hit the enter key...

When shooting an event, I'd recommend going to less "artsy" shots like that, rather than actual shots. Look at it from an outside viewpoint.. who wants to see the back of someones head?

@MLeeK, thanks for that. will definitely use it next time!
@gsgary, YRS
@ceejtank, LOL that's true. will keep that in mind on upcoming ones
