I shot at a club for the first time on Saturday. I dont have an extended flash so they didnt come out as good as I know they could have. Please check them out and let me know what you guys think.

You have two things going against you that would limit the responses.

1) You did not post a shot or two that you want critique and comment on. You tossed out a gallery and said "Here is everything I have, what do you think." So with that, we have no idea what you are wanting advice with.

2) You only gave two hours before asking "Nothing guys?", and on a Monday morning, no less. When everyone is at work. I have seen posts last a couple of days. Have some patience.

After looking at your gallery, it looks like vacation snapshots of a bunch of drunks. Though most of them are exposed correctly, I see no effort given to aesthetics or composition.

The purpose of the photos is to show people having a good time at the club. My other photos concentrate more on composition.

Also, take it easy Im just asking for opinions.

In that case, I think the "Share Photos / People" section is the spot for this group of shots. Critique Corner is more for specifically requesting comments, advice and critique of value and merits of both photos and the photographer.

You have some good shots there. As meantioned your probably best to post a few photos, still leave a link to your gallery. But pick a few for people to comment on.

Whats up with that one guy, it looks like he's taking a dump all the time?

Anyways, some cool shots that do illustrate a good time being had. And these would be better off in the people section.

Next time you do a club try getting there before people actully show up. That way you can get alot of cool shots with no flash and no people. Just an empty club and cool lights. Then your audience can get a feel of the club. I was thinking fly lounge was literaly a club named after flies, not as in flying on an airplane.

Just my 2 cents.

otherwise you do have some interesting shots.
