Nothing spectacular - but nice

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.

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

Geoff,

I like the shots, especially the skyline: spray of crimson/blue light on my 'LCD' screen. Can I assume that it is warm, as I am sitting in my study/bedroom at home and almost freezing, sex change coming up :!: .

Also I can assume you got your modem/router problem sorted out at your new address. Dog is found and not leaving home anytime soon.
I am woffling on again, so I'm going now...yep.


Cheerio,
:)

I don't think sunset shots will ever go out of fashion 8)

Great colour in the shots... Is it my imagination or is that a bit of noise in the sky? What was your ISO setting? Also, you seem to have quite a bit of tilting happening in that 2nd shot... Did you happen to have a beer break between shots? :lol: just kidding...

Cheers,

Stephen

Hi Stephen,
Thanx for your comments. The noise - hmm..I didn't really see it , I shot it using ISO 200. The second shot, no alcohol today...I was just trying to eliminate the building from the shot. The shots were taken about 15 seconds apart! :) Cheers,

Geoff.

Thanx Fozzie! Yep, it was really warm (but very humid too) in Sydney today! Yep...the dog is safe and happy as if nothing happened. The router problem was fixed when I took the (faulty) USB wireless adapter back and bought an internal card for the PC - a MUCH better solution. It turns out that there are/were quite a few problems with that netgear product. I returned it 9 days after purchase and they were most unhelpful and refused to give me my money back unless I was happy with 20% off the original purchase price - no thanx. So now I have a credit note for the shop (no it was definately not Harvey Norman). Thanx for your interest! :)

Geoff.

Say it ain't so.

Craig, et al -

I hope that the nasty air pollution rumor (rumour?) isn't true.

One of the things that makes me terribly jealous about the pictures that I see from Australia are the amazing skies you have.

You do not want to lose those. I live in Los Angeles County. Enough said.

Not every day, no. Socal Steve - we have our bad days of pollution here in Sydney, but I think they are far outweighed by good ones. We've had some gentle but steady winds the last few days which must improve the air quality somewhat. I will wait until I find some air polluotion shot and take a pic to show you, or would u prefer me not to so you have a better opinion of our lovely Sydney?

Just keep putting up those same great pictures that you have been sharing. It will keep me, the group and the tourist bureau happy.

I just hope that you folks can learn from our U.S. mistakes. It's much easier to prevent than to undo.:cry:

I guess it actually takes dust, smoke or something in the air to make a great sunset though, doesn't it?! :?
