From the past

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.

Chris - just love the composition and colours: very moody.

Looks more like a shot from 1864.

I'd even go a century further - 1764 - looks like a Turner painting.
Beautiful shot. The colour and the wonderful contrast are fantastic! :D

I have been trying to remember the name of the sailing ship in the photo. For the life of me I can’t remember - all I can say is the photo was taken from Kings College

One of the most complex images I've seen posted here Chris. Would hate to have to disect it academically and explain its composition! Nice and very different. :D

Awesome image, although EXIF isn't intact, reckon you could shoot it again? :lol:

More seriously, that is a stunning shot, and my pick for POTW by far :)
So join in the chorus, and sing it one and all!

Interesting composition, and fantastic colour.

I believe there was an older standard called GLIF (pronounced glyph), noted for its unreliable and somewhat laggy nature. The write once storage media, often taking a rectangular form shipped in a small bound bulk media carrier with hard covers, was particularly susceptible to water and fire damage. GLIF was also protected from electromagnetic field damage. The GLIF data could be securely disposed of using a bulk eraser known as a shredder.

GLIF gave way to EXIF partly due to its synchronous write capabilities at the time of image capture, and its less ambiguous metadata to data cardinality.
:lol: :D

(translation: writing your roll/frame number in a notepad with your exposure settings).

I'd love that, though. Would be very interesting to learn why it is so appealing.

Cheers
