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.

I have been absent from here for ages , firstly travelling around Oz and then getting back into uni. I haven't taken a photo since uni started back up in Feb, so a big ship washed up on the local beach sounded like a good reason to get back into it. Here is my take on the ship, handheld (forgot tripod) at low light this morning.

Hopefully this will be the kickstart I needed to get back out and take some photos.

Very nice indeed Ben. Like the sunrise colours and reflections off the beach. Would look cool even without the beached whale.

Well done.

Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

I agree. this is a great shot. The colour and reflections are very good.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, it was good to get out early and see the sunrise again. Settings were kit lens handheld, 1/40 at f4.5 shot in Raw, levels, curves and cropped in CS. I forgot my tripod so had to wait for the light to be good enough to handhold.

Ben, I was there this morning too.

Wasn't bad, but probably the poxiest sunrise I've got out of bed for.

I thought I saw you but wasn't sure. Yeah if it wasn't for the enormous ship the sunrise would not of been to crash hot, especially after all those beers last night!

By the way what year are you in now? Still enjoying it?

3rd year now.

Still good, but much more work this semester. Exams in a week.

Then next semester I'm off to Katherine for HES, and Moree for regional rotation.
