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.

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.

Love to see bigger versions, but they look great. #1 looks like my cup 'o' tea.

great shots!
The second one could benefit from a worker or a car in the picture to give feel of scale. Otherwise it looks a little small. On Strobist website there was a link some time ago to a video about shooting this kind of things and what too look for to make the shot amazing as appose to just good.

I like the first. It would work well as a cover shot.

I did a few photography jobs with the mines over the last few years before i moved to canberra. It was a pretty good experience, but after about 2 years it became a bit mundane. It payed well though :)

In the third shot I could see the lights of the larger truck coming up and the ute was doing some work for me, so i ask them to stop at that point for me, and took the shot at a slower shutter speed to get the blur of the other truck behind. It was a little while ago so i'm not sure of the specifics though.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

The 2nd shot is really impressive, great use of colour and light.

If you can go again, 1 would be great if you could close in to the top of the conveyor belt and frame the sunset behind it. I realise this may be impossible, there are areas it's not safe to go, but it would look good.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I have 5 images that i love and that have been published and used on websites, but they have the company name in them and they won't let me use them outside of the company.
