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.

A 'Darling' sunrise

Postby norwest on Fri Aug 14, 2009 10:23 am

The Darling River, about 50k north of Wilcannia. We camped overnight at a camp area called the Horse and Carriage, said to be a mail & goods transit stopover along the Darling track between Bourke & Wilcannia in the 1800's. A very remote but beautiful and peaceful spot to camp.
I struggled to expose the foreground without blowing out the sky and think I could have done a little better capturing the moment when I was the only one not still tucked up in a warm tent.
1.3 secs. F22 ISO 100 @ 28mm

Cracker of a reflection and the sky colours are great. Can you do anything with the trees as the dark areas are a little too dark and uninteresting for such a vibrant sky.

No Ian. I'm afraid it was underexposed too much and a poor decision not to bracket for layering. I could kick myself.
The shot below is in the opposite direction 5 mins later with a 22 sec exposure.
