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.

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.

There I was in Tanzania, looking out the top of our Land Rover at thousands of flamingoes, but how to capture the scene?
(click on this for a 10% version)
It looks rather silly here, but I did a 2.8m-wide print on roll paper (only 20cm high) and it's quite impressive. I'm considering a larger print on canvas in 3 sections (so there's room for doorways/etc) with a little overlap between sections so the continuity works.
Here's a detail:
These photos were taken with at the 35mm-equivalent focal length of 640mm (all in horizontal format) at 1/800s, f/8, ISO 200 (with an EOS 30D and 100-400mm zoom). All-up I used 21 shots for this panorama, and the resulting image is 28607x2077 pixels (over 59 megapixels).
There wasn't any point in shooting in vertical format as that would just have included more sky and foreground (unless I added a 1.4x TC to the lens). It was shot hand-held, panning across the horizon (I was limited on the left by other vehicles, and on the right by a lack of interest). I was also limited by my colleagues ("Why are you taking so many photos? Can we go now?") and if I'd taken a bit more time I might have got slightly higher image quality (but these birds were fairly distant and there's a fair bit of atmosphere in the way anyway).
As for the panorama, this was generated with PTGui, with auto-generated control points. I just had to wait a couple of hours for my PowerBook to grind out the result...
I guess I'm not expecting much in the way of image critique here: this is the sort of image that needs to be seen in a large print to get the full effect rather than appearing as just a long thin smudge... Last edited by DaveB on Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:29 pm, edited 2 times in total.
