Argentina & the Falklands

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.

Argentina & the Falklands

Postby stubbsy on Thu Jan 06, 2011 10:06 pm

I'm finally starting to get on top of the 13,000 odd images from my recent trip to Argentina, Chile and Antarctica and have some more images to share. Below are a sampling from my SmugMug sets for Argentina and the Falkland Islands (or is that Islas Malvenas). This time there's even a penguin :wink:

Other posts with images from the trip:
Los Glaciares National Park, Argentina

Buenos Aires Pt 2


Ushuaia is the Southernmost city in the world. Our Antarctic cruise left from here.

This is an old shipwreck in Port Stanley, capital of the Falklands

Peter I simply love #1, the layers really draw you into the image, ending with the snow peaked mountains leads you back down through the image!! How high a vantage point did you have for this one?

The hulk of the wreck almost blends in, it makes me stop and think twice about it. Do you have something closer for this one? Loving the reflection and the bleakness

looks great

how much time did you get to shoot the penguins could you only do day trips or were you allowed to camp out
and how close were you allowed to get to them
were there rules about how you should approach them

Nice Peter, looks like your sales might kick off and recover some the trip cost :cheers:

The first image I like, the only things I can see that may improve it are 1) crop the rocks out from teh foreground? I am in two minds about this but I do get drawn to them but at the same time like size and ratio of the image... 2) recover just a fraction more shadow and colour from the forest greens.

Just had a look through your gallery, great shots. The shots of the glaciers are fantastic, how did you nail such great exposures, did you use a grad nd for shots with the sky in or just bracket and blend?

Love the shot of the Old Ushuaia Gaol, you have pped from a dull drap shot to a detailed and dramatic shot in only 16 minutes. Did you use Photoshop or CNX2 and did you select your iso or have it on auto iso?
