Lunchtime photography

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.

Increase canvas size in PS at the top of the image - clone in more sky then straighten - it will work and look good 8) :D

Arh, sorry to disappoint :)

I've actually got a lot on at the moment, (two serious internet issues, in both offices I manage) so I can't afford the processing time for another pano shot right now :)

No worries.

We'll just settle for a muggacino in the interim.

Speaking of internet issues, Leigh and I were going to be doing a presentation last evening - of the technology that we used for the webcast of the AW dinner.

Leigh left home around 5pm; I arrived at the venue a little after 6, but wasn't able to connect to aany of our servers at home. In that short timeframe we'd sufferred a power outage at home, taking down both Linux boxes and frying the plugpack on one of the routers. I've dropped a spare router into place for the moment, but I've not yet - via the network - been able to talk to the router that was there at the time; Although the lights are on, we're not yet sure if anybody's at home, and it may well be going to join your sandwich wrapper. :)

The sadist in me, says grab a camera and set it on fire and see if you can get some interesting shots. (That's rather then throw it out). The collector in me says, I'd just put it in a draw with all the other bits of hardware that don't work, but I won't throw out :)

Oddly enough, at an Italian restaurant, but this time in Leichhardt.

It was a meeting of the Desktop Database Developers group, of whom I'm vice president. Yep, vice is certainly the best thing to be president of. :)

While this wasn't necessarily development oriented, from the support and training perspective, the technology that we used was of a great deal of interest to the assembled (not so) masses.

A $10 disposable from Woolies would do the job, wouldn't it?

In a few years they, too, will be collectible. :)

Oh, I see what you mean. Do you want to know how many of those we have at home? Some even have nicely trimmed low voltage cables .... :)
