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.

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.

I was down at Port Botany today, and the combination of my 70-200mm VR + TC14EII proved to put me in range of the aircraft leaving the airport. I have had to add a fair bit of contrast and manipulate the colours due to the hazy conditions out there today. C&C much appreciated

ohh, there are the plane shots :)

nice smash 8 there too! (200/300 series)

I like the first one here, however a crop to position teh plane at a 3rd interesection would make for a much stronger image, particulary with all that space.

you have done well with the colours, they maybe a tad pushed however I appreciate the effort needed to get thru the haze and correct the whites. It also looks like great conditions (excluding the haze), nice soft diffused light and fluffy clouds. :up:

If only that was true...these were very much snippets of barely blue sky pushed to all hell and the haze was terrible.

Thanks

Can't help thinking your shutter speed was too high. Either that or the planes are about to fall out of the sky.
