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.

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.

These are just from a trip with a couple friends ...you can see them in a couple pictures. I didn't get to bring a tri-pod on this trip so these aren't near as sharp as they could be. I shot in JPEG fine. Please tell me what you think. All shot with a D70 and 18-70mm kit lens.

Nice shots Midnight, and welcome to the forums with your first post (starting with images is good work).

#2 is very smooth indeed. All have great colour.

Some brief observations.....

- Lens does not have an "e" at the end, I have edited your post accordingly (there was a long thread on this issue some months back :D :D )

- I am not a fan of the arbitrary diagonal shot, and I don't think it was necessary in #1 and #3. Both shots would be fine straight.

- well done on the handheld long exposures

cheers

I agree with Greg.

#2 is great but not a huge fan of the diagonals.

Really like the 2nd one, is this the Gatlinburg near Pigeon Forge?

Welcome Midnighthour. Shot number 2 is excellent, especially for handheld (against) rock at 8secs.

I have trouble getting the shot that steady on a tripod at 8 secs. :(

Cheers

2nd shot looks fine - 3rd shot would be improved with fill flash - tilted camera does not work too often,especially in this instance.

Thanks for the comments guys! I believe #2 is my favorite shot as well. No excuses for the diagonal shots except I thought they'd work. Again, thanks for the criticism.
