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.

Mt Field in B&W (Tasmania)

Postby Killakoala on Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:05 pm

One of my favourite images from my trip home to Tassie over Christmas. This one looks best in B&W as the colour version lacked, erm, colour. :)

This is Lake Dobson atop Mt Field.

Comments and critiques always valued highly.

Specs: Nikon F5 and Nikon 28-70mm at about 28mm. About F10.

Nice work. Just wondering if there were any colour filters used?

Smurph - No, but when I converted to B&W in Photoshop I spilt the channels into R, G and B and used the R channel because it had nicer grey tones. :) I think it is easier than using filters in the field.

Matt - Hmmmm, holidays a little slow?

Thanks Christian. Happy new year to you too.
Steve.

It's basically a D1 but for film. It's the same look and feel. I love it. (Metaphorically.)

Nice, I forget how easy it is to not use filters these days. I´m still used to using them with my M4 though.
