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.

After the sun had set on our quick trip down to Manns Point in Greenwich; I wanted to try some twilight long exposure panoramas. The only real trick with these (beyond the excessive amount of time it takes to take one pano set (and trying to level your tripod in the dark and seeing how far to rotate for each frame with a very dark viewfinder:))) is waiting for all the lit moving craft to move out of your frames (ferrys, speedboats and even some kayakers). I took two panoramas of essentially the same scene - however the end results look quite different even though they were only taken about 10-20 minutes apart. The first with the longer exposures (and CPL perhaps?) captures the late twilight purple/blue, whereas the second has headed into night (by now we've essentially lost the twilight colour in the sky) and we're influenced more by the strong light pollution from the city lighting the clouds from below. Two very different looks on the same scene - which do you like the best (altho of course neither is also a valid option)? Panorama stitched from seven (7) vertical frames taken at 35mm and 60 seconds each @ f/11 and ISO 200 (also used the Lee 0.9 grad ND and Heliopan CPL) (I actually had to bump to ISO 400 for the last four frames because the light was dropping) - taken between 7:15PM and 7:25PM. I also did a little light painting on the tree...  Panorama stitched from six (6) vertical frames taken at 35mm and 30 seconds each @ f/8 and ISO 400 (just using the Lee 0.6 grad ND) - taken between 7:30PM and 7:40PM  D600, D7000, Nikon/Sigma/Tamron Lenses, Nikon Flashes, Sirui/Manfrotto/Benro SticksRodney - My Photo BlogWant: Fast Wide (14|20|24)

Gee...! I like them both. The secon is creepy and appeals to my sinister undertones sense of humour.

Awesome pano Rodney. Without the tree, it's just another landscape, but the tree makes it, and at night. Excellent.
