Newtown in B&W

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

The last shot is so indicative of Newtown. In fact I would rate Newtown as being one of the most interesting areas in Sydney for photography.

Gary - it may be fillum but it has to be digitised for viewing on this site 8) :lol: :lol:

I like these alot. Chris' comment about Newtown is spot on. And it's home to the best coffee shop in Sydney.

Were these shot with the Mamiya?
Regards, Patrick

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Took the Mamiya but it didn't really leave the bag...

Jeff isn't Photography great
I like how 3 people can go out together and shoot the same locations and post completely different photos of such differing styles (not that we didn't shoot a lot that were the same)
these are great with #3 my fav

They are three good images making a rather harsh social commentary on the suburb, but they don’t encourage me to visit that part of the city, even if I lived in Sydney.
