Feeling a bit dusty this morning

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.

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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

David, It would seem, even with a dust storm, the best colors are in the morning!

Nice second; apart from the color, it could have been a misty morning....

I've got a camera, it's black. I've got some lens, they are black as well.

Thanks for the comments guys - the second is my favourite as well. It was surprisingly similar to fog/mist at that point.

Great shots, David.

The colour of the light on Wednesday morning really drove home to me how poor our eyes are at judging the colour of light. Or more correctly, how our brains make allowances for the colour of the light. I was up at 6am for a conference call and at that time it was really orange out there. After looking outside for a minute or two, the internal lights of the house looked so much more "white" than they usually do, simply because my brain had adjusted to the orange of the outside light. Sort of like my brain had adjusted the white balance.

I know what you mean - After taking the first shot (I was outside for a couple of minutes) I looked at my mobile phone and the screen was a totally different colour. It looked blue.

Then at the station, the lights looked much more white than they usually do.
