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.

B&W CBD/Crows Nest

These were some photos taken in about March/April in the CBD and around Crows Nest. Cameron - don't know if you remember, but these were taken on the HP5 you sold me that I pushed to 1600. However, I completely messed up my developing times and under-developed by 9 minutes (recommended 24 compared to 15 actual). Still, the results came out ok.

These were taken on the F after a recalibration of the meter and other fine tunings with old 50 1.4. A beautiful combination.

I think the scanning process I have (D200) leaves a bit to be desired as the tonal range is pretty small.

C&C appreciated as 'street photography' is a style I am gradually getting into, chances permitting.

I like the first Patrick, plenty of interest and it holds the viewer, the processing (thru the film process) works nicely and i like teh grain.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

I think I know the gentleman holding the J1 + 10-100 in the first image, if it is who I think it is then he would be a Nikon employee

The pushed HP5 looks interesting enough. It may lead me to experiment with pushing other films.

Love the first. Pushing to 1600 and the grain makes the images take on a different mood. Lovely stuff.

Thanks guys. I do prefer the first as well. I printed it out on Friday night and the grain was very subtle.

I will try some more HP5, pushed and then processed correctly.
