Test Shot

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 had a chance to try my 10-20mm at night for the first time and here are two of my results.

Craig, I think the last one is the best.

I find the fence in the first too distracting.

Number 3 is a bit scary. Not sure what you were trying to acheive there. :?

I'm keen to see more from this lens. I'm still trying to decide whether to go wide or long.

Agree, the last one is cool. Is that just a straight crop from the centre of image, as opposed to a stitched pano?

Hey, I thought you were banned from lusting for a year? ;)

Number 3 is the best Craig - great colour and feeling of movement

Fist one - the fence distracts me

The last is too dark and indistinct

Love number three. Had a similar idea for a shot the other day.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

#1 I don't like the railings either, but it was raining so this was actually taken from inside my office

#2 Dodgey from the car shot, but I like how you can see the rain coming down.

#3 I did a whole heap of these style of shots, I prefered to post this one due to the colour (it was more eerie then the others).

#4 The last one is a pano crop, which shows of how wide it can go, I'm impressed by it so far :)

I prefer the 2nd and 3rd pics just 'cos they're not usual landscapes of city at night :D

Which 10-20 btw?

I didn't think there were any other 10-20's?

Neither did I, but I wasn't 100% sure to push the point.
