A few from the Train

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.

A few from the Train

Just been celebrating the freedom of being able to pull out a SLR on a train and firing off a few photos. Here are a few that i snapped off whilst on the train home today. People must be getting sick of the fisheye photos but I was quite a amused whilst looking through it and watching the world whiz by.

Nice light in that first one cam, how about trying to remove the distortion on this one? i reckon it would work well and get rid of the dark corners.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I think the original 1st image works the best (pre distortion correction),more striking....u can tell its been shot from a window of a moving object........whereas the corrected shot just looks like a wide angle landscape shot..........just my 2c......

I rather like the original #1 the best , perhaps because the subject is a bit more interesting
I guess the good thing about taking them up against the glass is you don't have to worry about where your feet are
Thanks for inspiring me - I'll have to borrow a fish eye and have a play
