Hobart Waterfront Panoramas

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.

These were taken this afternoon whilst I walked of Christmas lunch. I will post links instead of the files.

Hobart Water Front, this area will be host to the Sydney to Hobart Yachts in the next few days.

The famous fish punts of Hobart, these guys are well worth a visit if your after some really nice fish and chips.

Victoria Dock, has become home to the fishing fleet of Hobart. This area is always full at this time of year.

One from this morning, couldn't help myself when I woke up to see Mount Wellington covered in Snow.

Edit (Stubbsy) fixed link URLs (removed quote marks)

Thanks Matty,

I am not sure if I like the 180 degree panos myself, probably because of the big curve (from the edge of the wharf.

David

For me the first of these is the only strong image. The second is too wide for the subject matter (the punts) which gets lost in reasonably busy image and the third is just too distorted for my tastes (and yes I know I use the 10.5 fisheye a lot).

I also took the liberty of editing your post to fix your links (I removed the quotes around the urls)

Thanks Stubbsy,

I agree, I have been looking at the curved images most of the day and I just cannot convince myself that I like them. Thanks also for fixing the links.

Cheers

I tend to agree that the first works and the others are too busy / distorted to really carry it off, that said the stitching is most impressive.

Hi there Big V and thanks. As for Clipsal I am not sure as yet, am working on a few possibilities and will have to let you know at a later date.

Thanks Craig,

I agree. I am not a keen fan on the others but do like number one as well.
