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.

All that remains of the 19th century Lion Brewery in Silverton. Though it looks like a kiln, a local business manager is checking on exactly what part of the old brewery it is.

Something gives me the impression you guys like a beer? :wink: ... :cheers:

Thanks gerry. The beer was nice and cold at the pub. :wink:

Pizza Oven?

Great composition on the first one. Well spotted.

Thanks gstark. Pizza oven? Now there's an idea for the next camping trip to Silverton. :wink:
I wouldn't have known the subject existed if not for walking into the bush chasing the light for shots of another building. The place is full of ruins a little off the beaten track and I would have loved to spend a further week around the town. I'll find an excuse to go back and go missing every afternoon/evening.
Hmmmmm Beer and Pizza!!!

:agree:

Thanks jaff. The light in the outback is special.
Maybe a remembrance toast (or 3) is in order during the next visit? After all, we should endeavour to give due respect to our history. :wink:

After editing more shots from Silverton I think I prefer this variation of of the Brewery ruins. Shot with a slightly different composition ten mins later in more subdued light, with the sun filtered by light cloud.
Opinions appreciated!

I like the 3rd shot best.

It could be the oven where they roasted the barley to get malted barley. It could also be the kitchen oven for the workers. :D

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

I like the last one. Nothing like red dirt to place it in the outback!

It could also be the firebox for some sort of boiler system I guess.

I've been told the 'Pizza oven' :) was a boiler/boiling room for mash. :cheers:
