18th Biennale Of Sydeny

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.

I took some time off this week and manged to get out to Cockatoo Island to have a look at the 18th Biennale of Sydney. Just for fun I took the D700 and the D80IR and a bunch of vintage lenses (Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye, Tamron SP 17mm f/3.5, Tamron 24mm f/2.5) and the ever useful Tamron SP 28-75mm f/2.8.

I like the first Cameron, its a nice shot and makes one really take a deeper look.

I think I will need to enlist some trickery to get rid of the guy on the LHS foreground though.

Thanks buddy

Would be easy enough to lose the guy out of the shot if you wanted to but I would try to make the girl more prominent then as well to make her interaction with the artwork the key subject.
Alternatively just leave it as is as a record of the day... that's what I've done with my captures of this event.
Photography is not a crime, but perhaps my abuse of artistic license is?
