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.

Very nice range of pics Matt - in particular #2 - the naval ship is riding very high. Matt - the one of Luna Park could you tell me which ferry goes past?

For $13 you can travel all of the ferries for a day. The Luna Park shot was taken from the ferry that goes from the Quey to Darling Harbour via about 6 different stops. very scenic.

Was talking to one of my ex-wifes tonight Matt and she told me I could get a really cheap ticket as I am on a disability pension - so I might give it a go. BTW which or what lens where you using?

Gotta say the last one does it for me. All those lovely lines against the sky and the flags give a nice softening contrast.

What a great idea. $13 for an all day shooting session, just take a packed lunch.

Many moons ago, in another life, I used to work for a rather large insurance company whose head office occupied the tallest building in Oz, then placed at Circular Quay.

We would often have staff come in from interstate or Kiwiland, and rather than do the Captain Crunch canned tours, we'd just grab some sandwiches and hop on a Mosman ferry for an hour or so for a lunchtime cruise. Most relaxing, and quite a pleasant way for the visitors to see the harbour at minimal expense.

Great photos! I was taking some shots from the ferry yesterday on the way to work, but just got very lackluster, standard touristy shots. You've inspired me to give it another go and look for the different angles, cheers! :)

Aaaargh!!!

Water! Give me water! I am still waiting for the wet season to arrive, after a false start last week. I wish I could find the time to get to the coast for a couple of weeks.

Cheers
