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.

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.

Light does get blue shifted as you approach warp speed... 60kmh through the tunnel.
Need to redo this shot this week with a much cleaner windscreen soften the suspension slightly for that silky smooth effect. I will get rid of the dash reflection as well but happy with this proof of concept effort..

very well done - I've tried a similar shot a few times, but it's really hard to keep the camera still with the car moving. Looks like it must be a fairly smooth road ;)

Sheepie, I mounted the camera to the tri-pod and had it sitting in the passenger area. Two of the legs on the floor, the third on the seat. The road is smooth but even so there are a few bumps. so soften the suspension I shall do for the next shot!!

Nice surrealist shot! I especially love the colours and ray of light.

Oh wow, I've gotta try this, what an amazing perspective!!!!

Thanks for sharing your tripod set up, I thought I might need to have a special car bracket for this kind of thing...

Now this is going to cost me a few toll trips isnt it... how much does it cost to do 10-20 laps through Melbourne's Burnley Tunnel??? :cry:

I like your thinking BigV - the scientist in me wants to try this out for myself!

I do, however, have a question for you - Would we see a shift if you strap a torch to your head as you ride the skateboard down Montefiore Hill at the Adelaide night meet this Friday? :P

Nat, you would see red shift because I will be moving away from you at a great rate!!! Now that will be ok for the canon cameras but will the nikons be able to record it?

I guess we'll have to wait until Friday to find out!! :razz:

:idea: The next question is whether we could calculate your boarding speed from the size of the shift we observe :shock:

Love the shot, the surrealism is fantastic. Do you really want to advertise driving at warp speed in that make and model car ;)

I guess we could if we calibrated for a known speed first.Lets see what we can send down first!!! Brett, 60 kmh is 30 kmh slower than the tunnel speed and 177kmh less than the top speed of this baby... but that would take a trip to northern territory or a closed track.

Wonderful shot here, great colours and obviously difficult to take!
