Break of Day/End of Day

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.

Shot using the Nikon D1 and the 28-105mm Nikkor. No EXIF data (long gone) but I do know they were hand held.

The dawn shot was about 4.30am on arrival at a resort in Fiji and the other was sunset.

Great natural colours Chris.

The only thing missing is a nice Crescent Moon.

Nice,

Yes it certainly was Craig and most enjoyable. I had more camera gear and computer gear with me than clothes - I was known as ”that naked tourist from downunder” :roll:

Fantastic shots Chris, i love the second shot shows a bit more in the pic but great shots. Only wish when i was younger when i went to Fiji i had a camera as i was very young when my parents took us all on a cruise for 2 weeks on the Oriana, i spent more time in the pool as it was the only place i didn't feel sick. LOL Well done mate top shots.
Cheers
John

Beautiful, Chris. Just beautiful.
The first looks like maybe you used a graduated ND filter.
I assume that your horizon is straight on the second one. :wink:

Good point about the horizon Steve - actually it is straight but I had to look for a long time to make sure it was.

The first pic had a graduated blue filter applied through nik efex pro to darken the top of the pic. :D
