Aussie Day in Sydney

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.

Aussie Day in Sydney

Postby sheepie on Wed Jan 26, 2005 4:40 pm

Hi all - first batch of pics from Australia Day is up :)

http://sheepie.smugmug.com/gallery/372276

All taken with either kit lens or the 70-300G. EXIFS should all be visable :)

Still haven't filled a 1GB card in a day, even shooting RAW. :shock:


Let me know what you think, and if you don't think anything, then maybe at least they are enough to provide some creative spark :)

(Am I making any sense today?) arrrgghghhhhh!

...too hot ....fried brain circuits ...too many people

Contract works, yes of course and it finally accumulates into the "Director bonusses" at the end.

Sheepie

6 & 7 are good, but numbers 1 & 8 are better. If it wasn't Australia Day I'd say number 1 is my favourite. I really like the composition.

Sheepie I go for number 1 as well. My only comment would be to make the rear building a little more out of focus in PS

Sheepie, the 'thousand words worth' still aren't making themselves known what festivities took place.

I'd vote for #1 as favourite as well.

Nice to know what I would haves seen if I had been in Sydney and not working. Good shots Sheepie. I like no 1 the best also. BTW we lowly workers only get time and a half for working public holidays. No director bonuses either. BTW any of the Melbourne gang go out in the heat and capture some of our celebrations?
Regards

Hi Sheepie,Good pics and was too hot to go out today here, but anyhow is it #4 the heli almost looks like you got dust bunnies on the ccd or something might have paid to clone the spots out.
Cheers

Very strange - I haven't had any problems accessing the smugmug stuff from anywhere I've tried, and I can't think of any reason why ZoneAlarm would cause any problems.
Had you had any problems up to then? After?

Thanks for the feedback :)
