My DNQ For Rnd 2

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.

My DNQ For Rnd 2

Now I know why everyone is advised to put in a placeholder entry into the comp.

After leaving the shoot to late sunday and only getting 1 image worth posting I decided to reshoot monday night. I didn't upload any image to the comp. Next day I find out that the comp closes at midday, so I frantically get my wife to make the nef file available to me - i do some basic PP work at work and upload. I had to use the software available to me at work and somehow wiped the EXIF data..and hence DNQ :(

Ahh well here it is anyway....

Craig,

Turn your camera upside down and it's easy to get shots like that.

Matt,

That's only valid to view shots like that, but not for the taking of them.

I know this is a bit :ot: but for an office practical joke, have the CRT monitors turned off for at least 15 mins so they cool down, turn them upside down, turn them on (they degauss whilst upside down when you turn them on COLD), and now turn them up the right way!
What effect does it have? Turn your own CRT monitor upside down now and have a look at the colours!!

Oh, and to fix, just leave them turned off til they cool then turn on, or choose degauss from the menu if they have that option...
Fun for all to play with.

My 19 inch is too heavy to do that with.

And yes, I do realise how that sounded.
