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.

oh, i do like that coogee pool one (which I think is actually Maroubra pool), it looks like something outta the 60's, except there is some nutter standing on that rock in the distance :roll:

The Sun creeps behind the clouds


followed by the mad scramble to change lens...I think you might have been the only one to get a decent shot of this particular moment. :up:

Its a shame about that filter in the first, not only the water droplets but also the serious vignetting... :nono:

Actually you are right, Maroubra pool (Whoops!), I had to do some more processing on that these images than I usually do, i was actually surprised how naturally the processing came to me.

Doh I was meant to crop out that vignette....that is what happens when you use a P-Series holder at an angle unfortunately :oops:

Actually, nothing, I shot it with C-POL and ND Grads stacked with shade WB hence the colour cast. I saw the light (it was still grey) and thought, I can work with that!

The one of the pool - maroubra or coogee - very nice :)

Well done on getting up early guys - the season is great at the moment for atmospheric shooting :)

#2 Love the tones in these. You were the only one quick enough to grab a photo of this one. I think it literally lasted 2 minutes!

How long does it take two photogs to change their lenses....? Any thoughts Gerry? :wink:

Thanks Surenj, I guess it was a blessing not to have an ultrawide lens! It lasted less than 2 minutes, probably only about one minute...and even I missed the best of it by the time I had the camera set up again and pointing in the right direction.
