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.

AMAZING sky. Love the third one with the spiked fence... just beautiful.

I did a bunch of the Hyde Park fountain, mostly whining to myself about how the spray made taking photos of the Fish fountains near impossible. Lesson, as shown here : find the beauty in what you see.

Fantastic stuff Wendell, you did a great job capturing the sky in such a beautiful state! Well done. Love the use of the fence, it works well as a contrast to the sky.

thanx groovers

yes find beauty in the mundane things
look further than what you see

regarding fence shots I included it as foreground interest and to frame the composition i always lien things up in the corner like leading lines

the contrast to the sky also works well as the urban foreground interest is man made and stale contrasted to the freeform beauty of nature as the sky

Hi Kevin

+2 colour balance compensation on the D2x when you press the
'WB' and the main control dial, it's like 5600Kelvin

yo

yes leave it at auto then use the colour balance exposure
or you can set colour balance in kelvins

actually use the forward dial to set + - it goes up to -3 and +3

the main command dial changes the white balance mode
sorry for the confussion
