Hard Against the Light - The Big & the Small

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.

Hard Against the Light - The Big & the Small

Almost monochrome as I shot into the early morning sun with guided missile destroyer HMAS Hobart about to make a fast snap turn around this poor little yacht in order to close up astern of the ship I was in. She was really moving too! The yachtie must have wondered what was going on. Heart in mouth time! :shock:

Then after resuming a civilised speed on our port quarter, I couldn't resist this image of an ever alert naval rating taking the morning sun. :)

Lots of interesting things happen out there. :wink:
I am trying to calibrate my monitor to get a good density on the posts. To me these ones look a bit pale online. What do they look like on yours?

G'day Moo boy Yes, I only just realised how long ago it is. I was scanning some negs and working them up. Another nice one of the old girl posted at http://dslrusers.net/viewtopic.php?t=18982 if you did not see it. Also look deep in my website (URL in Signature below)
All the best

Just checked out your website and found all the Kanimbla/Hobart photo's. Some memories there for sure. I think I recognise some of the people on Hobart.
