Australia Day Fireworks

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 know we all dread the firework images, however I did especially ride the pushie all the way into the city to see these, this is the first time I have seen them since living in sydney..thats my excuse anyway. :wink:

A few others can be found in the A Stray Day post too.. http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=38536&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a#p407419

I suffered the pain of being in a throng of people hence no skyline, since the only skyline from my view was a mess of bobbing heads...

thoughts? suggestions? anyone else have a better spot? I noticed they blocked off the expressway walkway which was my initial plan :evil:

methinks the dude who packed this one had one too many corona's for the day...

Gerry these are technically brilliant.

What's wrong with showing a few heads watching the fireworks? I reckon it would add another demension to these.
