O'Reillys Mini Meet

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.

Well! What a great time we had at O'Reillys thanks to Finch (Michael) and his knowledge of the area and his special arrangements for us to venture to parts the public are not allowed to go.

Here's my version of the Saturday Sunset which was a corker.

Feedback welcomed

Thanks

Thanks Bob and it was great to see you and your wife, Marylin at the meet.

You have captured the sunset from Moonlight Crag well and it shows those that haven't been there what an beautiful place Lamington/O'Reilly's is.

Nice stuff

Cheers

This pic is somewhat experimental for me and is a result of merging 5 images each separated .7 of a stop apart and shot from the tripod.

I then used the HDR Exposure merge function in CS2 for the first time.

The outcome is OK but to me lacks a natural look.

What do you guys think?

The only thing that looks really strange to me is the sun, although I think it looks quite cool!

I've had another crack at it just by blending two images via the older more conventional method.

Any Opinions?

Sorry Bob but the weird sun in each version just spoils the whole shot for me

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Peter this is the pic of the sun pretty much out of the camera apart from raw conversion

I really like the one you posted of the opera house using the HDR blend
