Some night shots

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.

I'm tired and I want to sleep so I wont go into much detail, but there is an option on the d70 to switch gridlines on ( or something similar ). I would highly recommend you try that as one of the most obvious problems when you're doing any sort of landscape/scenery shot is a tilted horizon.

Having the grid on lets you line everything up correctly before you shoot which means less time in Photoshop saying 'free rotate .90 degrees.. too little . rotate .95 degrees... too much..'

I'm sure someone else will give a much clearer analysis of your shots.. probably wednesday morning though... :)

Thommo - had a look at your nightshots and overall I am impressed. Maybe a little straightening in PS on verticals and horizontals.

I like - will be out and about tonight to emulate.

Cheers

Yep, the grid lines are champ. I spend about 5 extra seconds getting it lined up, but that's better than being in front of the computer, then you have to crop etc.

They are very good.

I especially like the one between the bridges with the new parliament house in the distance.

Lucky no one saw you taking photos of all those public places and called the terror hotline. :)

Hi Thommo,

thank you for giving us some insight into Canberra
places at night.
I like the National Library photo.
Have you checked out Anzac Parade ?
I havent yet been at the right place (Anzac Parade)
