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.

thnx guys.

Unfortunately no, not mine. Its a friends of mine. I was bored Sunday evening and the ground was wet so I knew it would make for some interesting shots. We went down to the papermill and I snapped these off. I keep forgetting but I really need to get a remote shutter release. These were all taken at a 200iso in low-light situation. I was using the Nikkor f3.3-f5.8 28-80 lense and using the largest apperature I could (except for the action shot with the light flowing through for longer exposure).

Not sure if anyones familiar with the car but its a 2001 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 in Speedway White (one year color I believe) with CCW SP500 wheels. LARGE cam, full Ti exhaust, Tune, etc etc. I believe he said it makes right around 420hp to the ground and 390lb ft tq. VERY sweet ride indeed.

Great high impact location for these stunning photos of a stunning car - love the Corvette from way back when.

Just one problem - the steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car :wink: :wink: :lol:

I'd actually prefer to see the car white. Had a quick play in PS but the Red channel is blown on the car so it's hard to convincingly correct the colour cast without spending a bit of time on it.

Did you take these as RAW files? If so, just go back to your original RAW and do a click-balance on the car then combine the two images (factory WB and car WB) and you'll have an even sexier image!

Good effort tho - love the smoke swirling around in the air above the factory; you should go back with a long lens, there are some nice opportunities there!

NV - that second shot would be s tunner even without the car. I love the whirlpool of smoke from the longer exposure.

Touche here mate, ace shot of the pollution belching forth from the factory, almost surreal. As for the 'Vette, what more can you say? Give me one ...:)

Great shots all round.

I love the background! (and the foreground, but I think, as mentioned by others, I would like to see the car without the colour cast - unless that is really the colour :))
I like it how you managed to balance the exposure of the background and foreground, and the clouds generated from the factory behind are so nice!

Steam guys, steam. Paper mills make a lot of steam, not smoke (unless they're very old). Wood chips are pulped under high temperature and pressure, giving off lots of steam. The paper drying process also uses super heated steam pumped under pressure thru many dryer cyclinders to dry the sheet as it travels over the cylinders at speeds of 1200+ metres per minute. So lots of steam.

this guy is very not stupid, haha. I was gonna comment on the pollution comment but yeah, just steam.

Thanks for all the great reviews. I didnt shoot in RAW, Doh! The problem with the color cast is all the lighting around the car was the yellow-ish street lights. I took them from VERY yellow to what they are now. BTW: papermills produce steam as discussed but that can stink pretty badly here and there, haha.
