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.

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.

Mini-Ramp Fun

My mate has recently built a Mini-Ramp. We have lots of fun as you can see.

These are the first couple of shots ive taken with my new camera aswell.

They seem to have a better effect as B/W. C&C much apreciated.

Cool piccies Sherlock. My favourites are #3 and #2. The B&W seems to suit quite well.

You could possibly crop these tighter and get a better result IMHO. Crop #2 top and right. Crop #3 top and left.

Well done.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

I think tighter crops, maybe a bit of fill flash and soem contrast would be good. Cool ramp though, looks like alot of fun

the treatment and style of #3 reminds me of photos of kids fooling around in the backyard in the 1950's

The backdrop of corrugated iron could also add to that
