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.

I went out on Friday night with a mate to try some long exposures and to test my new Sigma 10-20mm, thx Gary & Poon. It's very hard to focus @ 9pm via moonlight and a torch. I also didn't know that when you use the noise reduction feature in the camera it takes as long to write the image to the card as it did to take the shot. So each image was taking about 16 minutes to complete. It was fun reading the manual by torch light to realise what my camera was trying to do. These are from Turrimetta beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches. 7.6 mins / F8 / ISO200 Noise Reduction on.  7.6 mins / F8 / ISO200 Noise Reduction on.  7.2 mins / F8 / ISO200 Noise Reduction on.  We then drove to the Bahi Temple. After spending an hour around the temple ( including one of the patrons unlocking the door to let us inside ) we decided to call it a night. This was taken on the way back to the car when they had turned off the main light ( around 11pm ) at the front of the temple. You can see the side lights remained on giving a nice glow to the building without being over powering. This was a 3 shot HDR. -2, 0 , +2 blended with TuFuse and then CS3.  Warwick

Hey Wocka, These are good shots..I particularly like images one and 4, the Bahi temple looks great, and the way that the clouds are travelling add to the shot. Soon you'll be demonstrating HDR at future minimeets etc  I think the people at the Bahi temple could well be interested in that shot! Curiously, at full resolution how big did the file end up being? I think I'd like to see a tad more contrast in the first one. Having said that I'm only viewing it on my work LCD. Thanks for sharing.

I too like the last one. I started taking night shots in the mid-seventies when the quickest film emulsion was 160ASA tungsten that gave you a horrible red cast. When you added reciprocity failure in long images you would be going through a lot of film only to totally start again once these visual migraines had done your head in. Man I love digital - if it ain't right then just double the exposure.
