Rough day at the office.

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.

Rough day at the office.

Two pics. Nothing special. The quality of the photos is poor, there's blown highlights, oversharpening and the saturation is terrible, but have a look at the bow-wave in the first image. :) Both shot with D70+70-300G.

Both shots taken halfway across the Great Australian Bight. 7-8metre seas. My ship was heading the other direction thankfully as we are about half the size of that bulk-carrier. That ship is about 250 metres long and about +75,000 tonnes.

Yes it was a very rough day at the office.

Steve, mate you know i love all your shots and i love these as well. I too have been on a ship many years ago called the Oriana and well only place i didn't feel sick was in the swimming pool and i would not go out on 1 again. I would love to go to Tassie but would have to put car on and fly over as i hear it is rough at times.

These shots although maybe not best conditions i find that it doesn't matter as they are fantastic even the first picture with the bow wave and this floating bath tub. Great capture mate and the scene makes up for rest.

I love the first image, that's a great capture in rough conditions. I don't know about you but having sailed across Bass Straight a few times I find waves that size frightening.

What strikes me most is the height of the bow wake, it's above the wheelhouse !

Hope to see some more soon

Great shots Steve...

If I was in your office I'd be saying hello to Huey and Rolf on the big white telephone most of the time... :lol:

Hope to see you back soon...
Cheers, John

I went to Tassie once on the Spewcat from Port Welshpool to Georgetown. It was very smelly inside the boat I can tell you now.
