Sydney B&W

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.

Went up to Sydney for a couple of days. Here's a couple of snaps I converted to B&W.

Shakey - that 2nd image of the bridge with the brooding cloud behind and the B&W treatment is superb. Easily see this in one of those expensive galleries in The Rocks! Well done! The other two are good but the 2nd image really stands out here.

Addit: I'd nearly be inclined to approach bridgeclimb and see if they'd be interested in purchasing that image, remember when/if you do it how many millions of dollars they have made since the introduction of the concept? :lol: :wink:

Well, for me the perspective & lines of the first make it the stand out image here. Taken from the south Pylon I'm guessing, but you must have been using a fair zoom yet the image is still nice & sharp - well done.

Thanks for the comments guys. Stubbsy..this is from the south east pylon (I think it's the only one with public access)..it was shot at 70 mm (18 - 70 kit lens). Cropped to vertical.

Geoff...doubt that the snap is gallery material but I might stick it in the photo section at the local ag show in Feb. You never know..I won $5 the year before last :D
