Lakes and sunrises

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Lakes and sunrises

Just posting some pics of Lake Matheson and Mount Tasman at sunrise. All taken with the Canon A85. Minimal PP, just shot like I would for slides.

Looking forward to hearing comments from all.

Nosh.

Nice shots! I really like the first one, the sun streaming over the top of the mountain is beautiful, highlighted by the lovely still reflection in the lake. What time of day did you take these to get that light?

The first two look very noisy to me (especially the water in the foregound of the first one). Is this a conversion artifact or was this part most in need of PP?

Despite this I like the first 2 shots - the rays of the sun off the mountain work really well and the two with the lake reflection of the mountains.

Wow, the interesting light and reflections make for great images, I must admit I noticed what I thought was noise too... Is it in the "original" shots, or introduced in PP or shrinking for web etc?

Favorite for me would have to be the last one, great reflections, the water looks like a mirror...

Cheers,

There was minimal PP on the images. The noise IMO was created as I think I had the ISO set to 200 or 400 rather than 50, and the small point and shoot cameras like the Canon A85 are not really good for that. I found it works best when I leave the ISO setting on 50.

Will do some PP and try to clear up the noise.

Thanks

Nosh.
