Queenscliff fisherman ...

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.

Queenscliff fisherman ...

Postby DStrom on Sat Jan 28, 2006 1:55 pm

After the Northern beaches meet the last week end, I decided to head out again to grab a few sunrise shots, this time at Queenscliff.

This guy happened to wander in to one of my shots, so I figured he must want me to take photos of him. :wink:

the lone fisherman is a nice image.
wonder if you could have shot it from a lower angle and produced a stronger silhouette though.

Hi Dave,

both images are great.
I'd probably attempt to PP the first image so that the fisher man
becomes a completely black sillhuette.

Cheers,

Yeah I did try for that on a few other shots, but I didn't want to get too close to him.

Thanks,

I'll give that a try a little later on this afternoon, and post the results.

Dave - Nice work, I'm a sucker for silhouettes and especially fisherman ones :) Didn't get a chance to chat with your at Dee Why, but you made it into a few of my shots good to see more Canon's out and about!

Hi Alpha,

yeah it was hard to chat to every one with such a large number of people there. Was a good turn out for 5:30 in the morning.

I'm not a canon user though, or at least not any more, not since I sold my G3.

Did get a nice shot of you though ...

Dave, very sorry for confusing you with the Canon user (maybe and I could be wrong a second time, was it wocka). I think I have a few shots of your Dave I'll see if I can dig them up.

Also I like the shot of me, and the flower again! Thanks for posting!
