Railyard at night.

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 quite like 1 & 2 - the colours work well in my (very new!) opinion :wink:
3 & 4 are quite different - I haven't been able to make my mind up about them...

Of all 4 I really like #2 for its surreal approach - an excellent pic :D

I love em all.

I don't know how you pulled off the 3rd one, in any other case I would have said it looks terrible, but not this one!

Good job.

Number 2 is my pick here too.

There seems to be quite a bit of noise in these pics but that's not saying its a bad thing.

Wow..great series norbs.#1 and #2 are my picks...love the perspective in #1 as well as the light....

A small issue with #2 for is the bright white dot as your eye follows the train carriage.

Great stuff mate...

I agree with the above, # 1 and 2 are my favs as well, but I too find the bright light of number 2 leading.

As for 3 and 4, I find the flash field distracting. These two don't have the soft and even light that are found in the first two. JMHO.

#2 is great! If I had to fault it, whatever the the tall sticky thing is vertically down the frame approx 1/5 from the left might benefit from a whack with the clone tool.


As you're on Flickr, you should add it to the night images pool + urbay decay pool


Also you may be interested in the Lightpainting Pool and this guy's work

No flash used in any of the photos. The first 2 used available light. Long exposures. The 2nd 2 I used the torch (LED) on my phone to paint the carriages. I think I probably over did it but hey, thats how I learn.

There are a few more pics here.

A bit of a write up about the night here.
