Time gone by

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.

Again, from my Nikon shot slide collection:

Horse Guards Parade - sometime in the middle 60’s - an exhibition of aircraft from WWII

Another English village

End of season - seaside cafes etc closed for the winter

Love the third one, Chris. Looks very bleak and cold. Can understand why everything's closed up. Must bring back some fantastic memories for you going through your old collection. Keep 'em coming!

Cheers

I like #2 Chris - B&W gives a 1950/1960s feel to the image. The passers-by in suits and the Tudor facade of the building emphasise this feel.

They're superb Chris.

I love the seaside shot, reminds me of the stuff that Martin Parr shot in Birkenhead in the 1980s that I was reading about only the other day.

We could try and organise a "then and now" thread. ;)

Love the first photo of the plane. Never ceases to amaze me everytime I see an old warbird like that, imagining how hard it would have been to fly it let alone try and out-manouver someone else.

Trying to work out what plane it is.
Not a spitfire or hurricane as they didn't have a bubble canopy it was a canopy that merged at the back into the body.

Looks like a Hawker Tempest.

Easy Chris. You just have to remember that the internet isn't just porn, chat rooms, book sellers and auction sites :)
