Melbourne: Backstreets and Laneways

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.

Cool starburst in #1 Cam :)

I'm liking #2 but the very bright areas on upper left and right are a bit too much - perhaps a little pano croppage of the top and then burning down the bright areas?

I reckon #3 could have the top third cropped off as well - so the person walking towards us is near the top of the frame and the bright channel is more removed

Love teh graf shots Cam, the first just demonstrates how good teh D700 is at low ligth stuff - i imagine your loving it and it seems to be suiting your style.

The last appeals to me - maybe its the counterstrike connection that I feel more - on that note you know max payne 3 is out now ;)

Thanks Gerry. The D700 has been a god send for the low light stuff...I didnt even bring a tripod with me at all for this trip. The combination of the D700 and the 17-35 has been awesome and I feel that I may not use the 24-70/28-75 that I have (yes I have both - Nikkor/Tamron SP) as I first thought.

I couldnt resist the CS reference...and yes I do know that Max Payne 3 is out...but I am resisting...I have been playing a lot of Global Agenda lately....JetPack + NO ELVES = Winning!

#2 is quite a perspective. Great colour, great subject.
