so it was mothers day, mom insisted on not doing anything. had to return a dvd to friend in darlinghurst, arrived at museum station ~4.20pm and hopped on the L94. first thing that popped into mind was hey - i could make it to some open water in 30-40mins!
so i caught the bus til the end and spent the arvo there. good time to relax and reflect/ponder..
stupid me decided to ditch the jacket and copped the chill unfortunately

managed to snap these three amongst many not so worthies:




c&c welcome as usual.

EDIT: replaced with smaller filesize versions to comply.
latter edits: stuffed up the IMG tags

very nice shots. love the silhouette of the boats and the composition.

i think the last one needs to be cropped back though, the sky at the very top doesn;t have enuf interest to require that much spacein the photo. you could even drastically crop it to give it a more landscape style.

you could also try a touch of fill light to bring out a little bit more brightness in the foreground without losing the siloutette effect but maybe bringing in a bit more detail. i would give it a crack to show you what i mean but i don;t know if the etiquette of this place allows others to adjust photos in PP.

nice shots...... but have you looked at cropping the sky to make much more interesting shots with a lot more impact....... 1: crop to a square 2: a long pano crop and a little lighter 3: crop to a 2 to 1 1/2 ratio to leave some sky or a tighter crop for a panno look......

i saw that skyline as i was on southern cross drive, only lasted about 5min, cool shots.

I'm not really able to critique these images from the office, because the monitor here is so poor in terms of its colour rendition, but I would ask that you take a moiment to review the FAQ regarding posting of images, and in particular the points made about sizes, both in terms of image size (max of the longest side should be 800px) and file size (~120-150kb max).

These seem to be way OTT in that regard.

Thanx for your cooperation.

thanks for the comments guys
ill take that into consideration when i get home and on future shots.
oh and gstark, regarding the attributes of the images, when i posted them i had that feeling in my head that there was something that might get me grilled for it. but i only remembered 800px at the time.

shall rectify in 3mins

Hey there, I like #1 for its balance

Number 2 for me judge jules. I'm a sucker for wide expansive skies. Also Ilove that intense blood orange color you managed to capture
